Spot ETFs across major cryptocurrencies showed mixed performance in the past week, with Bitcoin and Ethereum extending their outflow streak. However, XRP and Solana attracted fresh capital. The divergence highlights shifting investor sentiment as market participants adjust their exposure amid ongoing volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Face Persistent Capital Outflows
Over the past week, Bitcoin and ETH spot ETFs have once again ended a trading week with heavy outflows. Bitcoin took the lead as ETFs focused on the token recorded $782 million in outflows as investors pulled back. Ethereum, like BTC, was not spared as it saw $103 million in outflows as investors pulled capital amid concerns over short-term price weakness.
Meanwhile, this fresh outflow comes after a report by CoinShares had revealed that Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products had seen a combined outflow of over $1 billion in the week ending December 20 due to regulatory concerns and whale selling.
However, Ethereum saw the worst of that week, recording $555 million in outflows. At the same time, Bitcoin ETFs, on the other hand, saw $460 million outflows.
XRP Spot ETFs Gain Momentum With Fresh Inflows
Meanwhile, as Bitcoin and ETH ETFs experienced outflows, investments shifted into XRP spot ETFs, which recorded a weekly inflow of $64 million, indicating continued interest in the token. The inflow streak reflects improved sentiment around XRP as regulatory clarity continues to strengthen its investment narrative.
Interestingly, the recent inflow is also a continuation of the inflow from the week that ended on December 20, during which XRP investment products saw $62.9 million in inflows. Further, it is an extension of the continued inflows in XRP ETF products, which have yet to record a single outflow since their debut on November 14, 2025.
ETF analysts note that XRP’s inflow performance stands out amid a generally subdued ETF environment, highlighting its growing appeal among both retail and institutional participants. Interestingly, the Franklin Templeton spot XRP ETF recently surpassed 100 million in XRP holdings, marking a significant milestone.
Solana ETFs Attract Capital as Investors Seek Growth Assets
Like XRP, Solana spot ETFs also clinched inflows, recording a weekly inflow of $13.14 million as the network sees strong developer activity. Interestingly, Solana investment products had also, alongside XRP, seen $48.5 million inflows in the week ending December 20.
Interestingly, this continued inflow can be attributed to the network’s reputation as a high-performance blockchain attracting investors seeking exposure to faster-growing platforms beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to SoSoValue data as of December 26, 2025, Solana spot ETFs have remained neutral, recording neither daily inflow nor outflow.
