Crypto spot ETFs log $428 million inflows after week-long outflow streak

Spot Bitcoin ETFs accounted for most of the move, posting about $355 million in net inflows after seven consecutive sessions of net outflows. The swing came at year-end as investors adjusted exposure through regulated vehicles rather than direct token purchases.

Spot Ether ETFs also returned to net inflows, adding $67.836 million on the day. The draft notes that all nine Ether ETF products registered zero outflows in the session, meaning net subscriptions were positive across the group.

Solana-linked spot ETFs remained smaller but also moved back into positive territory. Those funds logged about $5.21 million in net inflows on Dec. 30, 2025, adding to the day’s overall reversal.

The one-day shift followed a seven-day period in which spot crypto ETFs collectively saw more money leave than enter. The Dec. 30 rebound lifted aggregate flows across Bitcoin, Ether and Solana products back into positive territory for the session, with Bitcoin ETFs representing the bulk of the total.

As GNcrypto noted earlier, Swiss crypto bank Sygnum said in a Nov. 11, 2025 survey of 1,000 institutional investors that 61% planned to increase cryptocurrency exposure and 55% held a short-term bullish view despite October’s correction. The survey found that 73% cited expectations of higher future returns as their main motive, and that more than 80% were interested in crypto ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ether, with 70% indicating they would start investing or raise allocations if those products included staking rewards. Sygnum also flagged delays around U.S. market-structure legislation and Securities and Exchange Commission decisions on additional crypto exchange-traded funds as key timing variables for institutional flows.
