ETH, SOL & XRP Spot ETFs See Inflows Amid BTC Outflows

• ETH, SOL, and XRP spot ETFs saw positive inflows on Jan 6
• BTC spot ETFs recorded a large net outflow of $243 million
• XRP outperformed SOL in daily ETF inflows

On January 6, spot ETF flows revealed a striking shift in investor sentiment. While Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETFs recorded significant outflows totaling $243.24 million, Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Ripple (XRP) spot ETFs attracted new capital — with combined inflows surpassing $143 million.

This divergence is fueling speculation about a possible rotation from Bitcoin into other leading altcoins, as investors seek better short-term opportunities or more diversified exposure.

XRP Overtakes SOL in ETF Inflows

Surprisingly, XRP spot ETFs saw inflows of $19.12 million, outperforming Solana’s $9.22 million, despite SOL’s strong performance in recent months. This uptick for XRP may reflect renewed investor confidence amid ongoing legal clarity in the U.S. and growing support for Ripple’s use case in cross-border payments.

Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs took in the majority of capital with $114.74 million in net inflows — highlighting ETH’s continued dominance among altcoins when it comes to institutional interest.

Bitcoin ETF Outflows Raise Eyebrows

The $243.24 million in BTC ETF outflows has caught the attention of analysts and traders alike. While not necessarily a long-term trend, the scale of these withdrawals suggests short-term profit-taking or rebalancing as other crypto assets gain momentum.

This movement also comes as the crypto market anticipates regulatory decisions and further ETF approvals, possibly creating short-term volatility and capital rotation.
