The U.S. spot Hedera (HBAR) exchange-traded fund (ETF) recorded no net inflows in the final week of December, leaving cumulative inflows unchanged at $83.70 million, according to weekly ETF data. Total net assets stood at $52.19 million, equal to about 1.11% of HBAR’s market capitalization.
The flat reading capped a month in which the ETF added very little new capital, following a strong surge during its first weeks after launch.
Most Inflows Came Shortly After Launch
Weekly data shows that the majority of capital entered the HBAR ETF in the initial weeks after its late-October launch. The fund attracted $44.39 million in its launch week ending Oct. 31, followed by $26.66 million in the week of Nov. 7.
By the end of November, cumulative inflows had already crossed $80 million, accounting for nearly all of the ETF’s current asset base.
After Dec. 3, inflows slowed sharply. The fund added $1.78 million in the first week of December, followed by $762,250 and $898,670 in the subsequent weeks, before recording no additions in the final week of the month.

Despite the slowdown, the ETF did not see meaningful outflows. Assets remained above $52 million, showing that investors largely kept their positions rather than cutting exposure.
Weekly trading activity remained limited at around $1.24 million, pointing to low secondary-market turnover during the holiday period.
How HBAR Compares With SOL and XRP ETFs
While HBAR ETF inflows stalled through December, larger crypto ETFs continued to pull in fresh capital. Solana spot ETFs added $5.21 million in a single session, taking cumulative inflows to $763.91 million and pushing total net assets to $950.67 million, or about 1.36% of Solana’s market capitalization. Trading activity in Solana ETFs remained active, with more than $33 million changing hands during the session.
XRP spot ETFs attracted even larger allocations, logging $15.55 million in daily inflows. That lifted cumulative inflows to roughly $1.16 billion, while total net assets climbed to $1.27 billion, close to 1.12% of XRP’s market capitalization. Daily trading value stood near $50 million, showing continued participation from both allocators and traders.
By comparison, HBAR ETFs recorded no new inflows over the same period, with assets holding steady rather than expanding.
The difference comes down to size. Solana and XRP trade with deeper liquidity and support larger ETF allocations. HBAR ETFs operate at a smaller scale, which limits how quickly new capital can be deployed without affecting execution.
As a result, Hedera’s ETF buildup happened early, followed by slower, smaller additions rather than steady weekly inflows.
