On December 29, cryptocurrency spot ETFs displayed a striking divergence in fund flows, with emerging altcoins attracting fresh capital while heavyweight assets experienced consecutive withdrawals.
The Altcoin Rally Continues
Solana (SOL) demonstrated strong momentum in the institutional market, recording a net inflow of $2.93 million into its spot ETF. More notably, XRP spot ETF captured significantly larger capital movement with an $8.44 million net inflow, signaling notable institutional interest in alternative layer-1 solutions and payment-focused tokens.
Traditional Leaders Seeing Outflows
The broader market dynamic reveals a different story for market leaders. Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETF experienced a net outflow of $19.29 million, while Ethereum (ETH) spot ETF saw $9.63 million flowing out. This disparity between sol to eth ecosystems underscores a potential reallocation of institutional holdings.
What This Means
The divergent capital flows suggest investors are actively rotating positions, reducing exposure to established assets while testing newer alternatives. Whether this represents a temporary trend or a sustained shift in institutional preference remains a key question for market participants tracking fund movements across major crypto spot ETFs.
