On the final trading day of the year (Dec. 31 ET), spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced substantial outflows totaling $348 million. Notably, not a single one of the 12 Bitcoin ETF products managed to attract net inflows on this date.

The trend extended to Ethereum as well. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw combined net outflows of $72.06 million across all nine available products—again, with zero net inflows recorded.

Solana presented a different picture, however. Its spot ETF offerings posted net inflows of $2.29 million. XRP also showed positive momentum during the same period.

This year-end capital rotation reveals interesting market dynamics. While Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced significant redemptions from their ETF vehicles, altcoins like Solana and XRP attracted fresh capital. The divergence suggests investors were repositioning their holdings as 2024 came to a close—potentially reducing exposure to the largest cryptocurrencies while exploring opportunities in other assets.

BTC-1,2%

ETH-1,04%

SOL-1,58%

XRP-1,01%

Large funds are secretly moving to pump small coins, and Bitcoin and Ethereum are really getting crushed by the end of the year...

End-of-year profit-taking rhythm, BTC and ETH together outflowed 348+72 million, zero products turned positive... Data speaks, institutions are running. --- SOL and XRP absorbing? It really is the most efficient capital allocation solution, it seems the 2025 allocation direction is written on the chain. --- 12 BTC ETFs all in the red, this move is interesting, the last big capital shift before the year-end sprint? --- Interesting, the big two are losing blood at the same time, while small coins are absorbing blood. This allocation logic... I need to make a table to calculate the arbitrage space. --- $348M fleeing, zero products spared... This data quality is a perfect negative lesson, industry experts are advised to study it. --- From the data, it’s just cutting the head, going all-in on small coins. This end-of-year move is either genius or trapped, no middle ground.

End-of-year big escape. Bitcoin and Ethereum are both experiencing net outflows. Well, now it's a good opportunity for big players to set up again. SOL and XRP are still bleeding, it seems people are really betting on small coins to turn around. If only I had known earlier. Bitcoin and ETH are being dumped together. I wonder how those guys who went all-in are feeling right now. Last year, I told everyone not to chase highs. Looking at this bleeding, some people's liquidation prices must be really uncomfortable.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are bleeding together, this is the reality at the end of the year... Solana and XRP are picking up bargains, smart money has already run away.

Wait, $348 million USD was fully withdrawn from BTC ETF in one day? All 12 products are experiencing negative inflows? This doesn't seem right... What are the institutions up to?
