$3.3 Billion Floods Into Crypto Funds as XRP’s Historic 80-Week Run Craters
Digital asset funds just racked up another monster week—$3.3 billion in fresh capital plowed into crypto products, defying the usual Wall Street skepticism (and probably triggering a few ulcers at the SEC).
XRP’s streak snaps: The former darling of the ‘regulation-by-lawsuit’ crowd saw its 80-week inflow streak collapse—proof even the most stubborn narratives eventually hit reality.
Bonus cynicism: Traders are piling in like it’s 2021 again, because nothing teaches caution like a 300% rebound… until the next ‘black swan’ drops by for lunch.
Bitcoin dominates inflows
According to CoinShares report, Bitcoin attracted $2.9 billion in weekly inflows and has maintained its position as the dominant digital asset for institutional investment. ethereum also posted strong performance with $326 million in weekly inflows. This marks its highest single-week total in 15 weeks. This is the fifth consecutive week of positive flows for Ethereum.
Interestingly, some investors viewed recent price gains as an opportunity for contrarian positioning. Short-Bitcoin products attracted $12.7 million in weekly inflows, the highest amount since December 2024.
Other cryptocurrencies showed mixed results as Solana received modest inflows of $4.3 million weekly while XRP faced its first outflows in 80 weeks. Sui recorded $2.9 million in weekly inflows and $23.9 million month-to-date, while Cardano brought in $0.6 million weekly.
Multi-asset products experienced minor weekly outflows of $1.9 million. However, they maintained positive month-to-date flows of $3.5 million. The total weekly inflows across all digital assets reached $3.29 billion, with total assets under management hitting $183.7 billion.
XRP’s 80-week inflow streak ends
XRP experienced a sharp shift in investor sentiment and concluded its historic 80-week consecutive inflow run with a historic outflow of $37.2 million in the week. It is the largest single-week outflow ever in the history of XRP investment products.
The outflows were beyond a weekly horizon as XRP had $28.6 million in month-to-date outflows and still had $226 million in year-to-date inflows. Provider-specific data indicate mixed results in investment products.
iShares ETFs/USA led the charge with $2.568 billion in week-on-week inflows, followed by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin F with $210 million of week-on-week inflows and $92 million year-to-date. Grayscale Investments posted continued outflows of $145 million month-to-date and $1.614 billion year-to-date.
The XRP inflow streak is ending while the overall market remains healthy. This means that the outflows are specific to XRP and not representative of the overall cryptocurrency sentiment. Total digital asset investment product assets under management remained resilient at $183.7 billion.
