XRP and SOL ETFs gained $30.41M and $13.2M respectively
BTC and ETH ETFs saw significant outflows totaling over $250M
Shift in investor sentiment hints at rising altcoin interest
December 18 marked a significant shift in the cryptocurrency ETF landscape, with XRP and Solana (SOL) spot ETFs witnessing positive net inflows. XRP led the way with $30.41 million in inflows, while SOL followed with $13.2 million. This comes at a time when the two largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), recorded sizable outflows from their respective spot ETFs.
This change in investor behavior suggests growing confidence in altcoins, particularly in XRP and SOL, as viable investment vehicles. Both have seen increased activity and development throughout 2025, which may be contributing to the rising interest.
BTC and ETH Experience Heavy Outflows
In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant $161.3 million in net outflows, while Ethereum ETFs lost $96.6 million. These numbers could indicate a temporary cooling in investor sentiment toward the leading cryptocurrencies—possibly due to recent price volatility, profit-taking, or a reallocation of funds toward emerging assets.
It’s also worth noting that the broader market environment has played a role, with institutional investors possibly seeking higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities as Bitcoin and Ethereum consolidate.

Investor Confidence Shifts Toward XRP and SOL
The net inflows for XRP and SOL highlight a growing trend: investors are beginning to look beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum for returns. XRP’s legal clarity in the U.S. and Solana’s strong DeFi and NFT ecosystem have strengthened their positions as strong contenders in the ETF space.
While it’s too early to call it a full-on altcoin rotation, the shift in ETF flows is a clear indicator that investor strategies are evolving. The next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether this trend will continue or reverse.
