Year-end ETP market dynamics reveal interesting capital movement patterns. Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETPs experienced net outflows during the year-end period—a shift largely attributable to tax-loss harvesting strategies. However, the trend reversed sharply at the start of 2025, with spot Bitcoin ETPs recording approximately $500 million in inflows on January 2nd alone. Meanwhile, altcoin-focused ETPs demonstrated stronger resilience, capturing net inflows throughout the period. XRP led this alt-sector rally, signaling renewed investor interest in diversified digital asset exposure beyond the major pairs.

BTC-0,61%

ETH-1,11%

XRP-2,29%

Selling at a loss at the end of the year, buying the dip in the new year—this trick has been played out haha

tax loss harvesting is just fancy cover for smart money dumping bags before the real run... but yeah xrp catching bids while btc gets shook out? that's the governance play nobody's talking about. altcoins surviving the dump means the protocol darwinism is working exactly as intended. margin of disruption widening nicely.

Selling at the end of the year to pay taxes? Laughable, these institutions really know how to find excuses. But then on January 2nd, they directly poured in 500M, the contrast is quite striking... The recent surge in XRP indeed looks comfortable, finally someone is not just focusing on BTC and ETH.

Ending the year by cutting losses and making it back now, it's kind of interesting... That $500M rushing in all at once, it feels like all the people who regret their decisions.
