XRP ETF ushered in new capital inflows of $12.29 million, while Bitcoin funds lost $120 million

XRP ETF continues to attract capital inflows, with a single-day net inflow of US$12.29 million.

XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have continued its positive net inflow trend, attracting US$12.29 million during the latest trading session. Among them, Bitwise's XRP ETF received a net inflow of $9.3 million, while Grayscale's GXRP increased by $2.98 million. Total trading volume of the XRP ETF reached US$23.58 million, and net assets closed at US$1.51 billion. Over the past 30 days, the cumulative net inflow of XRP ETF has reached US$185 million, while XRP prices remain around US$1.40.

XRP ETF maintains strong momentum

XRP-related funds outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum products during widespread market sell-off, an advantage that has been recognized by the market. The first spot XRP ETF in the United States began trading on Nasdaq in November 2025. Although the Bitcoin price fell below US$100,000 and a wave of redemptions in BTC and ETH funds, the ETF still attracted a net inflow of US$243 million on its first day.

As of mid-December, the spot XRP ETF has achieved net inflows for 30 consecutive trading days. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted this on social media, especially as rival Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs face continued outflows. This positive trend continues into the current trading session, highlighting the asset's strong appeal among institutional investors. Garlinghouse specifically pointed out that the 30-day uninterrupted inflow achieved in December last year demonstrated that the market's interest in XRP ETFs remains strong even as Bitcoin and Ethereum products experience outflows.

Bitcoin ETF suffers further outflows

In contrast, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net outflow of US$120.24 million, the second consecutive day of decline. The largest single redemption came from the ARKB fund launched jointly by ARK and 21Shares, which withdrew $77.98 million on Wednesday. Grayscale's GBTC followed closely with an outflow of $27.22 million, while BlackRock's IBIT lost $19.53 million. Morgan Stanley's MSBT was the only major Bitcoin ETF to record inflows, growing by $4.49 million.

The trading value of the Bitcoin ETF was US$2.05 billion, and its net assets closed at US$99.33 billion. Bitcoin prices continue to hover near key resistance levels, and market participants are cautiously optimistic given the previous US$18 billion market value retracement. Currently, the market is closely watching whether this resistance level will hinder further recovery or trigger a new round of capital inflows. After a significant retracement, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has basically returned to the break-even point, and the cost base of institutional investors has once again become a potential resistance to price increases.

Diversification of funds flows to Ethereum, Solana and other ETFs

Ethereum ETF performed solidly during the trading session, recording a net inflow of US$34.75 million. BlackRock's pledged Ethereum ETF (ETHB) attracted $22.94 million, making it the best-performing Ethereum product. BlackRock's ETHA contributed $9.71 million, while 21Shares 'TETH increased $2.1 million. The total trading volume of the Ethereum ETF reached US$852.09 million, and its net assets closed at US$15.69 billion. There was no significant outflow from these products.

The Solana ETF also showed a positive trend, attracting $11.73 million in funding. Bitwise's BSOL gained $11.18 million, and Morgan Stanley's MSOL increased $558.15 million. Solana ETF's net assets totaled $1.44 billion. At the same time, HYPE ETF reversed, reporting an outflow of $5.29 million, all attributed to Bitwise's BHYP fund. HYPE ETF's trading volume was US$31.08 million and total net assets were US$464.29 million.

Given the rapid market volatility caused by unexpected decisions by the Federal Reserve or the sudden listing of altcoins, investors are increasingly paying attention to efficiency and privacy in trading settings. Many people now adopt platforms that make privacy the primary solution, allowing users to integrate real-time charts, news and portfolio management features on one screen without having to register for an account. This shift helps traders minimize the risk of missing opportunities and can respond quickly to unexpected market events such as large flows of ETF funds or breaking resistance levels.
