After a strong period of five consecutive days of inflows, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs registered a net outflow of $14.90 million on December 3. This shift in trend may be attributed to short-term profit-taking or investor caution as the market awaits further macroeconomic clarity.
Despite the overall outflow, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded a significant single-day inflow of $42.24 million, highlighting its continued popularity among institutional investors.
This mixed performance indicates that while long-term confidence in Bitcoin remains robust, short-term volatility and investor prudence continue to influence ETF flows.
Ether ETFs Show Strong Inflows
In contrast to Bitcoin ETFs, spot Ether ETFs experienced a substantial surge in investor interest, attracting $140 million in net inflows on the same day. This growing optimism surrounding Ethereum could be fueled by speculation regarding potential future U.S. ETF approvals or positive sentiment leading up to upcoming Ethereum network upgrades.
The divergence in performance between Bitcoin and Ether suggests a potential rotation of capital towards ETH, possibly driven by expectations of greater upside potential or lower perceived risk in the immediate future.

Solana ETFs Experience Outflows Amid Market Adjustments
Conversely, U.S. Solana spot ETFs recorded net outflows totaling $32.19 million. Despite Solana's strong performance in recent months, this decrease may indicate that some investors are choosing to secure profits or reallocate their capital to more established assets like Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Nevertheless, Solana continues to be one of the top-performing Layer 1 tokens this year, and its ETF activity will remain a key indicator as institutional interest diversifies across the cryptocurrency market.
