Crypto ETF capital flows diverged sharply in early December

From December 1 to December 5 (according to ET), inflows and outflows of spot crypto ETF funds showed a clear divergence in investor sentiment. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $87.77 million, reflecting a temporary slowdown in institutional demand. Spot Ethereum ETFs also saw significant net outflows, reaching $65.59 million during the same period.

In contrast, some altcoin ETFs continued to attract capital. The Solana ETF (SOL) spot ETF saw net inflows of $20.3 million, indicating steady interest in the network’s ecosystem. Most notably, the spot XRP ETF attracted $231 million in net inflows—marking the fourth consecutive week of positive flows. Overall, the data indicates a shift in capital within the crypto ETF market, as investors reallocate from major assets to alternative options experiencing stronger growth.
