XRP’s 80-Week Inflow Streak Shatters as Bitcoin and Crypto Funds Rake in $3.3B

After nearly two years of relentless inflows, XRP finally hits a wall—while Bitcoin and friends soak up institutional cash like a hedge fund at a tax loophole buffet.

The streak breaks

XRP’s 80-week inflow streak—once the darling of crypto ETFs—collapses as investors pivot toward greener pastures (or at least more volatile ones).

Big money moves

Meanwhile, Bitcoin and other digital asset products vacuum up $3.3 billion in fresh capital. Because nothing says ’mature asset class’ like triple-digit weekly inflows chasing the same speculative bets.

The cynical take

Wall Street’s latest crypto love affair proves one thing: when traditional finance finally ’gets it,’ you can bet they’ll overdo it. Again.

Meanwhile, Ethereum-based funds recorded a 15-week high net inflow of $326.2 million, as sentiments around the asset continue to improve.

It saw a net inflow of $2.56 billion, with one of its daily performances last week beating the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) for the first time.
