Ether Slips, Solana Surges, and Bitcoin Extends Inflow Streak
The crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) market closed Tuesday, Dec. 2, with a split narrative, one where bitcoin climbed steadily, ether stumbled, and solana continued its remarkable streak with conviction. The day’s flows painted a picture of shifting investor preference, marked by decisive bids for BTC and SOL exposure.
Bitcoin ETFs returned confidently to the green with a $58.5 million net inflow. Blackrock’s IBIT dominated the day, pulling in a hefty $120.14 million, reaffirming its role as the bellwether of institutional bitcoin flows. Fidelity’s FBTC added $21.85 million, and Bitwise’s BITB contributed another $7.44 million.
The gains were tempered by a sharp $90.94 million outflow from ARK & 21Shares’ ARKB, but not enough to derail the category’s upward trajectory. Trading volumes hit $5.26 billion, and total net assets rose to $119.59 billion, signaling renewed conviction in BTC exposure.
Ether ETFs struggled to find their footing, closing with a $9.92 million net outflow. Two funds stood firmly in positive territory, Fidelity’s FETH with $50.65 million in inflows and Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust with $28.11 million.
Yet the narrative shifted dramatically due to a substantial $88.68 million withdrawal from Blackrock’s ETHA. Despite the setback, trading remained active at $1.65 billion, and category net assets rose slightly to $18.66 billion, showing that investor engagement remains high even amid uneven flows.

Additional contributions came from Vaneck’s VSOL with $2.71 million and 21Shares’ TSOL with $418.5K, locking in a uniform day of inflows across all issuers. Trading activity reached $56.71 million, and net assets climbed to $929.70 million, reinforcing solana’s status as the day’s standout performer.
