Thursday, Dec. 11, brought a shift in the week’s rhythm. After two sessions dominated by inflows, the crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) market turned more cautious, with capital stepping out of both bitcoin and ether funds even as solana and XRP continued to attract fresh interest. The day didn’t lack activity; only conviction seemed to split sharply across asset classes.
Bitcoin ETFs posted $77.34 million in outflows, driven largely by heavy departures at Fidelity’s FBTC, which shed $103.55 million alone. Vaneck’s HODL followed with a $19.38 million exit, while Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB saw $16.38 million leave the fund.
Grayscale products added to the pressure, with $12.21 million exiting GBTC and another $10.97 million leaving its Bitcoin Mini Trust. Not everything was red: Blackrock’s IBIT absorbed $76.71 million, and Bitwise’s BITB picked up $8.44 million. Even so, the inflows weren’t strong enough to counterbalance the day’s selling. Trading activity totaled $3.80 billion, and net assets totaled $119.93 billion.

Ether ETFs also slipped into negative territory with $42.37 million in outflows. Grayscale once again led the retreat: ETHE saw $31.22 million depart, while its Ether Mini Trust recorded a further $10.03 million outflow. Fidelity’s FETH contributed another $3.21 million exit. The lone bright spot came from 21Shares’ TETH, which brought in $2.08 million, but it wasn’t enough to offset the broader pullback. Total value traded reached $1.47 billion, with net assets stable at $20.31 billion.
Solana ETFs, however, continued their strong weekly trend, bringing in $11.02 million. Bitwise’s BSOL led with $4.44 million, while Fidelity’s FSOL added $3.56 million. Grayscale’s GSOL contributed another $2.59 million, and Vaneck’s VSOL added $437.5K. Activity remained healthy at $32.42 million traded, with net assets unchanged at $928.73 million.

XRP ETFs closed out another positive session with $16.42 million in inflows. Franklin’s XRPZ led with $9.87 million, followed by $4.98 million into Bitwise’s fund and $1.57 million into Grayscale’s GXRP. Trading volumes reached $25.26 million, keeping net assets steady at $929.82 million.
Across the board, Thursday’s flows reflected a divided market, as capital rotated out of bitcoin and ether while solana and XRP continued rising steadily. It was a day defined less by momentum and more by selective conviction, as investors shifted their weight across the crypto ETF market.
