Crypto ETPs Experience $952 Million Outflows, Altcoins Attract Capital

Crypto investment products faced $952 million in net outflows last week, marking the first withdrawal in 30 days. The sell-off was driven by whale selling and regulatory uncertainty due to delays in the Clarity Act.

Ethereum led with $555 million in outflows.
Year-to-date inflows for Ethereum ETPs reached $12.7 billion, up from $5.3 billion last year.
Bitcoin saw $460 million in withdrawals; current 2025 inflows are $27.2 billion, down from $41.6 billion in 2024.
Total crypto market cap decreased by over $210 billion between December 15 and December 19, stabilizing at approximately $3.03 trillion.
Solana and XRP recorded inflows of $48.5 million and $62.9 million, respectively.

CoinShares predicts that total inflows for crypto ETPs this year may not exceed last year's figures, with assets under management currently at $46.7 billion compared to $48.7 billion in 2024.

Altcoins Show Signs of Strength

Another analyst, Dami, highlighted that the crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum is near its 100-day EMA, which has historically acted as support.
