XRP ETF Inflows Surge 8 Weeks Straight as Bitcoin ETFs Face Massive Outflows
XRP ETFs are on an eight-week inflow tear, raking in $22.99 million last week alone. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs are bleeding cash, with outflows hitting $444.50 million in a single session. This divergence highlights a potential shift in institutional sentiment, favoring XRP's perceived regulatory clarity over BTC's current macro headwinds.
XRP spot ETFs just clocked their eighth consecutive week of inflows, adding another $22.99 million to the pile. This steady bid comes as Bitcoin ETFs are hemorrhaging capital, shedding hundreds of millions as BTC tanks. Last week saw a brutal $444.50 million vanish from BTC ETFs in one go, while XRP ETFs saw zero outflow days. The gap is widening fast. XRP ETFs are proving resilient, with inflows continuing even as the price dips. Institutions are clearly separating XRP's regulatory clarity from the broader market carnage. This sustained demand for XRP ETFs, nearing $1 billion in AUM, signals a conviction that's absent in the BTC ETF complex, which has seen its assets shrink from $107.8 billion to $81.85 billion since mid-May. Bitcoin's slide below $60,000 is fueled by risk-off sentiment, regulatory jitters, and ETF redemptions creating mechanical selling. XRP, while also down from its highs, is holding up relatively better, suggesting a distinct narrative is playing out for the Ripple-affiliated token.
