BTC ETFs Turn Positive as Solana and XRP Post Gains
Some trading days feel like a reset button has been pushed, and Friday, Dec. 5, delivered exactly that. After a choppy stretch of outflows, the crypto ETF market found its footing again, led by a renewed wave of capital into bitcoin products and by continued strength in solana and XRP funds. Ether, however, faced another day of turbulence.
Bitcoin ETFs closed the session with a $54.79 million inflow, reversing the previous day’s weakness and marking a measured return of investor confidence. The day’s strength came primarily from Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB, which pulled in $42.79 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC followed with a solid $27.29 million.
Vaneck’s HODL added $11.39 million, Bitwise’s BITB contributed $4.86 million, and even Wisdomtree’s BTCW, usually quiet, added $947.22K. The lone drag came from Blackrock’s IBIT, which posted a $32.49 million outflow, but it wasn’t nearly enough to tip the day into the red. With $4.07 billion in total trading volume and net assets at $117.11 billion, bitcoin ETFs ended the week in a steadier position.
Ether ETFs weren’t as fortunate. The category logged a $75.21 million outflow, entirely driven by Blackrock’s ETHA, which shouldered the full departure. No other ether ETF recorded movement, leaving the day decisively negative despite steady trading volumes of $1.77 billion. Even so, net assets remained healthy at $18.94 billion, underscoring that the market hasn’t lost faith, just momentum.
Solana ETFs, meanwhile, continued to show resilience with a $15.68 million inflow. Bitwise’s BSOL led with $12.18 million, while Fidelity’s FSOL added $3.49 million, keeping the week firmly green for the SOL ecosystem. Total trading reached $27.28 million, and net assets held at $877.62 million.

Rounding out the day, XRP ETFs enjoyed another $10.23 million inflow, spreading across Canary’s XRPC ($4.97 million), Bitwise’s XRP ($2.27 million), Franklin’s XRPZ ($2.20 million), and Grayscale’s GXRP ($785.40K). Though still the smallest of the major crypto ETF sectors, XRP continues to carve out meaningful traction.
