Crypto ETF Money Is Moving – And Not Just Toward Bitcoin Anymore

• U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, led by BlackRock's IBIT, attracted $459 million in weekly net inflows. XRP and Solana ETFs also saw positive inflows, indicating institutional interest beyond Bitcoin.
• Ethereum spot ETFs stabilized after a week of weakness, with net inflows following outflows in December.
• Bitcoin ETF assets reached $116.95 billion, while retail sentiment on Stocktwits increased for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, with steady-to-elevated discussion levels.

Investor flows into U.S. crypto spot ETFs remained resilient last week, but the underlying trends revealed a growing divergence. While Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana ETFs attracted inflows, Ethereum spot ETFs showed more volatile flows, rebounding to net inflows after posting outflows the previous week.

According to data from SoSoValue, spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana saw net inflows over the last week, indicating continued investor interest in crypto-linked products, while Ethereum ETFs regained popularity following outflows the previous week. 

U.S. spot ETFs attracted about $459 million in net inflows for the week, SoSoValue data showed. The BlackRock Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was the most popular, with flows of $324 million, bringing its total historical inflows to $62.38 billion. IBIT alone saw inflows of $287.4 million on Friday, the largest one-day inflow since October 8th, 2024, and accounting for most of last week’s Bitcoin ETF demand.

Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) came in second on weekly inflows, with $106 million last week, taking its total net inflows to $12.2 billion. By contrast, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) recorded the biggest weekly outflows of $53.67 million, taking its total historical net outflow to $25.24 billion.

Ethereum spot ETFs saw net inflows last week after seeing net outflows over the prior week, indicating a stabilization in sentiment following late-December weakness.
