TL;DR
- Ethereum ETFs recorded $60.82 million in net inflows for the fourth consecutive session.
- Bitcoin funds only attracted $21.12 million, with Fidelity experiencing the only outflow in the sector.
- Solana broke the positive trend, registering $8.1 million in net outflows, signaling profit-taking or uncertainty.
The ETF segment in the crypto market has just offered a valuable snapshot of institutional behavior, and the landscape shows that money is flowing unevenly among the most important assets. Instead of a generalized movement of hostility or risk frenzy, investors are choosing winners and rotating capital, a clear sign that allocation strategies are becoming more selective as the year ends.
The strongest signal came from Ethereum (ETH)-linked products. For the fourth consecutive day, ETH ETFs recorded significant net inflows, adding $60.82 million in new capital. Such a green streak suggests that portfolio managers are building long-side exposure rather than making short-term tactical trades.
Even with the market cooling from its recent highs, institutional conviction seems to be concentrated in Ethereum, which is reflected in the growing Ethereum and Solana ETF capital flows.
Rotation and Caution: The Contrast Between Altcoins
Demand for Bitcoin (BTC) funds also ended the day in positive territory, with a combined inflow of $21.12 million. However, the breakdown within the category shows some indecision. Fidelity’s FBTC fund recorded net outflows—the only BTC product in the red—implying that Bitcoin investors are reallocating among issuers rather than completely withdrawing from the asset. The modest totals point to cautious positioning, far from aggressive accumulation.
Meanwhile, XRP funds also saw firm demand, securing $21.81 million in net inflows and extending what has been a strong opening month for the asset in ETF format. However, not all altcoins shared that enthusiasm.
Solana (SOL)-linked ETFs told a different story, moving in the opposite direction and ending the day with $8.1 million in net outflows. This figure stands out sharply against the inflow trend in other major assets.
This mixed pattern confirms one thing: in the current phase of the cycle, institutions are not buying crypto as a single asset class. They are choosing specific assets, driven by their short- and medium-term advantages, demonstrating a clear divergence in Ethereum and Solana ETF capital flows.
