Crypto ETF Flows Split: Bitcoin Outflows, Altcoins Draw Fresh Inflows
U.S. spot crypto ETFs showed sharply diverging activity on December 8 (ET), according to SoSoValue. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $60.48M in net outflows, suggesting ongoing profit-taking or portfolio rebalancing. Despite the pullback, BlackRock’s IBIT remained the exception, securing $28.76M in inflows and maintaining its lead in the Bitcoin ETF space.
Altcoin ETFs moved in the opposite direction. Spot Ethereum ETFs brought in $35.49M, showing steady institutional demand. Spot Solana ETFs continued their gradual upward trend with $1.18M in inflows, while spot XRP ETFs led the group with $38.04M, marking the strongest altcoin inflow of the day.
The numbers point to a noticeable sentiment shift: capital is rotating out of Bitcoin and selectively moving into major altcoin ETFs.
