The US Bitcoin Spot ETF extended its positive performance on December 12, 2015, showing optimism for crypto funds after weeks of outflows. Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows worth $49.16 million on Friday, adding to the daily positive inflows experienced over the week, according to data shared today by market analyst Wu Blockchain.
Despite modest capital inflows, this is a positive performance, marking the third consecutive day of gains for Bitcoin ETF products this week. Bitcoin ETFs saw $237.44 million worth of inflows on Thursday, and another $150 million worth of inflows on Tuesday, according to SoSoValue data.
On December 12, the Bitcoin Spot ETF recorded a total of $49.16 million in net inflows, with BlackRock's IBIT being the only product to see net inflows, while the Ethereum Spot ETF recorded a net outflow of $19.41 million, with BlackRock's ETHA the only product remaining with net inflows.

Enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies wanes despite Fed rate cuts
Yesterday Friday, Bitcoin funds attracted even smaller positive flows of $49.16 million, as revealed by the indicators published by Wu Blockchain today. Of the 11 U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs, BlackRock's IBIT was the only one to record net inflows, showing outstanding strength. Without that, the entire Bitcoin ETF sector could have seen net outflows for the day.
Despite massive outflows seen over the past few weeks, the fundamentals of Bitcoin funds and other crypto ETFs remain intact. In general, demand for crypto ETFs remains weak as the Fed's cautious December rate cut failed to impress crypto investors.
The Federal Reserve's 25 basis point interest rate cut announced this Wednesday did not push crypto prices higher as the agency's cautious comments that it would likely be suspended next year affected the risk appetite of digital asset investors. This has extended the consolidation phase for most major crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are currently trading at $90,142 and $3,118, up 0.1% and 2.0% respectively over the past week.
Ethereum and XRP fund flow and market impact
Other important developments in the crypto exchange-traded fund industry include capital outflows from the Ethereum ETF and inflows to the XRP ETF on Friday.
As highlighted by data reported by Wu Blockchain, the Ethereum ETF recorded net outflows of $19.41 million on December 12, while BlackRock's ETHA was the only Ether-based fund to experience inflows of $23.246 million during the day. Despite Friday's outflows, the Spot Ethereum ETF reported net inflows of more than $250 million this week after weeks of outflows. Market analysts explain this development as institutional demand remains strong amid recent volatility in the large crypto market.
Finally, as confirmed by the data, the XRP Spot ETF had net inflows of $2017 million on Friday, marking the 19th consecutive day of positive inflows into the fund. Despite the impressive streak, XRP is currently trading at $2.03 after declining 18.6% in the past 30 days.
