The turn of the calendar brought a noticeable reset across U.S. spot crypto ETFs, as investors rotated back into bitcoin while selectively maintaining exposure to altcoin funds. Shortened holiday trading did little to dampen conviction, especially on the BTC side.

From Dec. 29 to Jan. 2, U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined net inflow of $458.77 million, snapping the late-December outflow streak. Blackrock’s IBIT was the clear anchor, pulling in $324.15 million for the week. The remaining inflows were distributed across the complex.

Fidelity’s FBTC finished the week modestly positive with $105.78 after offsetting earlier December losses, while Bitwise’s BITB and Ark & 21shares’ ARKB saw steady additions of $41.60 million and $33.08 million, respectively. Grayscale’s GBTC and Bitcoin Mini Trust saw combined outflows of $54.2 million, suggesting selling pressure eased but did not fully reverse across legacy products.

Ether ETFs also ended the week in positive territory, posting $161 million in net inflows, marking a tentative stabilization after several volatile weeks. Grayscale’s ETHE captured the majority of the weekly inflows with a $103.78 million entry for the week, while its Ether Mini Trust added $32 million.

Bitwise’s ETHW and Blackrock’s ETHA added $18.99 million and $12.37 million each for the week, adding to the big inflows from the Grayscale funds. Fidelity’s FETH and Vaneck’s ETHV saw incremental additions that pointed to cautious re-engagement rather than aggressive repositioning.

XRP ETFs continued to extend their post-launch momentum. The group brought in $43.16 million in weekly inflows, with Franklin’s XRPZ ($21.76 million) leading allocations once again. Bitwise’s XRP also finished the week higher with $17.27 million, while smaller products such as 21Shares’ TOXR and Grayscale’s GXRP contributed marginally. The steady, fund-wide participation reinforced XRP ETFs’ status as one of the more consistent performers among newly launched products.

Solana ETFs added $10.43 million over the week, maintaining their gradual accumulation trend. Bitwise’s BSOL ($6.23 million) and Fidelity’s FSOL ($2.53 million) accounted for most of the inflows, while Grayscale’s GSOL and Vaneck’s VSOL saw lighter but still positive contributions. Notably, all SOL ETFs remained net positive for the period, underscoring stable demand despite quieter volumes.

Overall, the week marked a clean transition into 2026. Bitcoin reclaimed leadership with conviction, ether showed early signs of balance, and both XRP and Solana quietly strengthened their foothold, setting a measured but optimistic tone for Q1 2026.
