XRP ETPs Defy Market Trend with $25M Inflows as Bitcoin and Ethereum Bleed $1.43B

While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs hemorrhage billions, XRP products quietly stack institutional interest.

The Great Rotation Begins

Smart money isn't fleeing crypto—it's rotating. As $1.43B pours out of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs, XRP products just recorded $25M in fresh inflows. Shows where the real alpha might be hiding.

Institutional Darling Emerges

XRP's regulatory clarity finally pays dividends. While Bitcoin traders obsess over Fed rate cuts and Ethereum struggles with scaling debates, institutions are making cold, calculated bets on the one asset with actual legal certainty.

The Contrarian Play

Wall Street's dumping the blue chips to chase the real momentum—because nothing says 'sophisticated investing' like following the regulatory green lights instead of actual technology. XRP's quiet accumulation suggests the smart money knows something the crypto Twitter mob doesn't.

Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate withdrawals

Bitcoin bore the brunt of the selling, with $1 billion leaving related products. ethereum followed with $440 million in outflows, though midweek gains softened the decline.

Despite the setback, month-to-date figures highlight Ethereum’s stronger positioning. The asset has attracted $2.5 billion in inflows in August, compared to Bitcoin’s $1 billion in net outflows.

Year-to-date, Ethereum inflows account for 26% of total assets under management, while Bitcoin lags at 11%.

Beyond the two majors, investor appetite is split across other major altcoins.

XRP attracted $25 million in new capital as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officially closed its case against Ripple, while Solana and Cronos added $12 million and $4.4 million in fresh capital.

In contrast, sui and Ton lost $12.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, highlighting fragmented investor sentiment.

Meanwhile, geographic flows also revealed diverging investor behavior last week.

US-based funds like BlackRock’s iShares drove the bulk of outflows at $1.3 billion, while Sweden and Switzerland contributed $135.5 million and $11.8 million.

In comparison, Germany, Canada, and Hong Kong registered modest inflows of $18.4 million, $3.7 million, and $3.5 million, respectively, offering a partial offset.
