- Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP experienced slight gains amid mixed inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Bitcoin shows the potential for a bullish shift as it modestly rises above $68,000. This slight price increase supports improved technical structure, with support from the lower end of the range around $65,115, which was tested last Thursday.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs present a bleak picture, as evidenced by outflows of approximately $105 million on Tuesday. Total inflows currently stand at $54.22 billion, with net assets under management (AUM) at $85.52 billion.
Looking at the broader picture, total AUM reached a record high of $170 billion in October, then gradually declined as risk appetite waned. This ongoing decline negatively impacts market sentiment, making it harder for Bitcoin to maintain its upward trend.

On the other hand, Ethereum recorded cash inflows of about $49 million on Tuesday, surpassing both Bitcoin and XRP. Total cash inflows now amount to $11.7 billion, with net AUM at $11.47 billion. The total net assets peaked at a record $25.71 billion in August, indicating a significant decline in interest in Ethereum ETFs.

As for spot XRP ETFs, activity was weak on Tuesday, with no inflows recorded, according to SoSoValue data. Total inflows currently stand at $1.23 billion, with net AUM at $1.06 billion. Similar to BTC and ETH, the total assets in XRP-related ETFs sharply declined after reaching a record $1.65 billion on January 5, suggesting that interest in U.S.-listed spot XRP ETFs has gradually decreased over the past few weeks.
