XRP and SOL spot ETFs recorded positive inflows.
BTC and ETH ETFs saw over $280M in total outflows.
Investors appear to be exploring alternative crypto ETFs.
On December 23, a noticeable shift in ETF flows was recorded in the crypto market. While major players like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) faced significant net outflows, altcoins such as XRP and Solana (SOL) gained traction with fresh capital inflows.
According to ETF data, BTC ETFs recorded a net outflow of $188.64 million, and ETH ETFs saw $95.53 million in outflows. These figures highlight a combined outflow of over $284 million, pointing to reduced investor confidence or profit-taking behavior in the two largest cryptocurrencies.
In contrast, XRP spot ETFs attracted $8.19 million, and SOL ETFs saw $4.2 million in net inflows. While these numbers are modest compared to BTC and ETH, the direction is key—it shows growing investor interest in alternative digital assets.
What’s Behind the Shift in ETF Flows?
The crypto market often reacts to both macroeconomic trends and investor sentiment. The outflows from BTC and ETH could signal short-term bearish sentiment or portfolio rebalancing ahead of the year-end. At the same time, the inflows into XRP and SOL ETFs suggest that some investors may be seeking higher potential returns or diversifying their holdings into lesser-held assets.
With ongoing discussions around broader crypto adoption and increasing institutional interest, ETFs remain a vital barometer of market trends. XRP, buoyed by legal clarity in the U.S., and SOL, known for its fast and low-cost blockchain, have positioned themselves as promising alternatives in the altcoin space.

Rising Confidence in Altcoin ETFs
This recent shift might be a small signal of a larger trend. Investors seem increasingly open to diversifying beyond the traditional BTC-ETH duo. If altcoins like XRP and SOL continue to gain institutional support through ETF products, we could see a gradual broadening of interest across the crypto investment landscape.
As always, ETF flows are just one piece of the puzzle, but they offer valuable insight into where capital is moving—and where sentiment is headed.
