The crypto market continues its sideways momentum, showing no clear directional bias over the past week. Amid the uncertainty, U.S. investors have shown strong interest in listed altcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), which are now drawing widespread attention from crypto enthusiasts.
As per the latest data from an on-chain analytics tool, SoSoValue — major listed altcoins ETFs — including spot Ethereum, XRP, and Solana, recorded heavy inflows of $35.49 million, $38.04 million, and $1.18 million, respectively, on December 8, 2025. Together, these figures show a total inflow of $74.71 million into altcoin ETFs.
Notably, spot Bitcoin ETFs also recorded a massive outflow of $60.48 million, suggesting a rotation of funds and indicating that Wall Street’s interest is quietly tilting toward altcoins.
Based on the above data, it appears that Wall Street investors are currently tilted toward altcoins—especially spot XRP ETFs, which recorded the highest inflows, followed by Ethereum and Solana.
ETF inflows indicate that investors are moving their capital into these listed funds, while outflows suggest capital withdrawals. Both reflect different market sentiments, with inflows signaling bullish momentum and outflows pointing to a bearish outlook.
Altcoin Prices Lag Despite ETF Inflows
Despite the massive inflows into these altcoin ETFs, the prices of the underlying assets continue to struggle. So far today, ETH has declined 0.60% and is currently trading at $3,117, while XRP and SOL have dropped 0.35% and 0.22%, respectively, and are currently trading at $2.06 and $132.85.
As per CoinMarketCap, the Altcoin Season Index is currently sitting at just 19, pointing to a Bitcoin Season as most altcoins continue to lag. The index measures how the top 100 altcoins are performing against Bitcoin over the past 90 days, and the latest reading shows that altcoins have lost a lot of momentum, especially compared to the yearly high of 78.
Crypto Analysts Share Bold Predictions
Despite the sideways price action, analysts have shown strong interest in altcoins and have made bold predictions.
- For Ethereum (ETH), a well-followed crypto analyst shared a post on X noting that if ETH breaks out of the major resistance zone between $3,000 and $3,400, it could open the door for a move toward the $3,700–$3,800 range within a few weeks.
- For XRP, analysts noted that the asset is mirroring its 2017 pattern, which resulted in a massive rally. If it follows the same trend, XRP could surge above $10.
- For Solana (SOL), an analyst with over 100k followers shared a four-hour chart and stated that $157 is their target.
