The week began with a significant demand for crypto ETFs, particularly for bitcoin, which recorded its largest daily inflow since early October. This positive trend extended to other cryptocurrencies like Ether, XRP, and Solana, resulting in a rare all-green session across major spot crypto funds.
Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net inflow of $697.25 million, marking their strongest single-day performance since October 7. This surge was widespread across nine funds, with Blackrock’s IBIT leading the way with $372.47 million and Fidelity’s FBTC following with $191.19 million. Additional inflows came from Bitwise’s BITB ($38.45 million), Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB ($36.03 million), and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ($17.92 million).
Ether ETFs also showed a strong rebound with inflows of $168.13 million. Blackrock’s ETHA led this recovery with $102.90 million, indicating renewed institutional interest. Other contributors included Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust ($22.34 million), Fidelity’s FETH ($21.83 million), and Bitwise’s ETHW ($19.73 million).
XRP ETFs continued their strong performance post-launch with inflows of $46.10 million. Bitwise’s XRP led with $16.61 million, followed by Franklin’s XRPZ ($12.59 million) and Grayscale’s GXRP ($9.89 million).
Solana ETFs attracted $16.24 million in new capital, with Bitwise’s BSOL dominating this segment with $12.47 million.
Overall, the flows from January 5 indicated a renewed risk appetite among investors. Bitcoin reasserted its leadership, while ether stabilized and both XRP and Solana continued to build momentum, delivering one of the strongest ETF sessions of the year so far.
