Deep Dive
1. Daily Leaders
ETH led daily flows mid?week, with $177.64M into spot ETH ETFs versus BTCs $151.74M on the same day, and alt ETFs saw smaller positives (SOL $16.54M, XRP $8.73M) per SoSoValue figures cited in a market recap. This supports a recent rotation toward ETH on specific sessions. See the ETH inflow summary.
Short windows can flip leadership. If you care about near?term momentum, ETHs daily inflow spikes are relevant, while BTC remains the core baseline.
2. Weekly Totals
Weekly aggregates differ by source and cut. One roundup shows BTC ETFs attracted $352M last week, roughly half of all crypto fund inflows, with short?BTC products seeing $18.7M outflows (a bullish signal for sentiment). See the weekly flows report.
At the same time, digital asset ETPs broadly recorded $716M in weekly inflows (AUM $180B), reinforcing an improving backdrop for ETF demand across majors. See the broad ETP inflows note.
Aggregates can show BTC on top for the week even if ETH leads day by day. It depends on the exact window and issuers included.
3. Alt ETFs Momentum
Other trackers for early December point to ETH +$312M net ETF inflows and SOL +$108M, indicating broadening interest beyond BTC during some intervals. See the ETF flows piece.
Additional daily snapshots showed mixed BTC flows while ETH flipped positive and alt ETFs like XRP logged notable single?day inflows, underscoring selective rotation within crypto majors. See the daily divergence note.
If youre watching breadth, SOL and XRP inflows suggest institutions are diversifying beyond BTC and ETH, though depth and consistency still concentrate in BTC.
Conclusion
Leadership in ETF inflows has been fluid: ETH frequently led on specific days, BTC often led on weekly aggregates, and alt ETFs (SOL, XRP) showed rising traction. The takeaway is rotation rather than a single constant leader. For positioning, monitor both the daily prints (for momentum) and the weekly totals (for stickier allocation trends).
Confidence: moderate because sources use different windows and issuer coverage; verify with the latest daily and weekly flow dashboards in the notices above.
