Despite Bitcoin retracing over 30% in the past 10 weeks, causing concern among many investors, on-chain data shows that the spark of a bullish trend still remains alive. According to Glassnode data, Bitcoin's "Realized Cap" currently remains firmly above the historic high of $1.125 trillion, indicating that there has not been a large-scale withdrawal of funds from the market, and suggesting that the bull market structure remains solid. Unlike the commonly seen "Market Cap" (current price x total circulating supply), this on-chain indicator is more valuable for reference. "Realized Cap" is calculated based on the "last on-chain movement price" of each Bitcoin, removing the influence of short-term speculative trading, and reflecting the "actual cost basis invested by investors" and "actual capital inflow." In other words, when the total market cap fluctuates wildly with price swings, the realized cap provides a more accurate picture of the underlying investment activity.

The US ETF market in 2025 set a historic "triple crown" record, with a net capital inflow of up to $1.4 trillion, over 1,100 new products launched, and a total trading volume of $57.9 trillion. However, beneath this prosperity, the crypto asset ETFs are experiencing a fierce rotation of funds. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs faced significant outflows in December, totaling over $1.1 billion; in stark contrast, newly launched XRP and Solana ETFs continued to attract funds, with XRP ETF setting an astonishing record of 28 consecutive trading days of net inflows. This phenomenon clearly indicates that beyond the grand narrative of ETFs, institutional investors are becoming more and more selective, shifting their focus from mere "digital gold" to crypto assets with clear regulation and real-world utility. The structural shift in the market may have quietly begun.

Recently, XRP price movement has entered a technical weakness, recording a fourth consecutive trading day decline on December 24, closing near $1.86, a significant retracement from the July all-time high of $3.66. In stark contrast to the price weakness, its spot ETF has demonstrated remarkable institutional absorption capacity, with 28 consecutive days of net capital inflows since its listing in November, totaling $1.13 billion. This divergence of "price falling, funds flowing in" reveals a deep contradiction between short-term profit-taking pressure and medium- to long-term structural optimism in the market. Looking ahead to 2026, the advancement of crypto-friendly regulatory bills, the potential Fed interest rate cut cycle, and the deepening utility of XRP in cross-border payments collectively form a positive narrative for its price recovery.

The 2025 Layer1 market undergoes a thorough split: Solana and BNB Chain rely on meme coin speculation to attract funds, Ethereum transitions to a settlement layer, and a net increase of $90 billion in stablecoins spurs the creation of dedicated "stable chains."
