XRP Dominates $224M Weekly Inflow Surge in Crypto Investment Products
Digital asset investment vehicles attracted $224 million last week with XRP dominating inflows, as American ETFs underperformed and Ethereum experienced withdrawals against a backdrop of uncertain macroeconomic indicators and regulatory developments.
Digital currency investment vehicles saw modest capital inflows during the previous week, even as conflicting geopolitical developments and progressively more hawkish sentiment among market participants emerged.
Worldwide cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) registered $224 million in fresh capital last week, representing a reversal from the $414 million exodus observed the week prior, according to a Tuesday report from CoinShares.
These renewed inflows pushed aggregate assets under management to approximately $131.8 billion, maintaining levels consistent with those recorded during the corresponding timeframe in the previous year. Cumulative inflows for the year to date have reached approximately $1.2 billion, surpassing the $960 million witnessed during the equivalent period in the prior year.
According to James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, the capital inflows represented a temporary recovery in market sentiment that occurred before macroeconomic data releases and shifting policy expectations during the latter portion of the week caused momentum to shift direction.
XRP leads inflows as Bitcoin trails closely
XRP (XRP) dominated weekly inflows with approximately $120 million, accounting for more than fifty percent of the week's total net capital influx.
As Butterfill observed, these gains constituted XRP's most substantial weekly inflows since the middle of December 2025, pushing its cumulative year-to-date inflows to $159 million.
Bitcoin (BTC) investment vehicles came in second place with $107 million in new capital, elevating year-to-date flows to marginally over $1 billion. Among these inflows, US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) contributed merely approximately $22 million, with these products continuing to show negative performance on a year-to-date basis.
Solana (SOL) additionally experienced modest positive flows amounting to roughly $35 million throughout the week, with consistent inflows throughout the current year accounting for 10% of overall assets under management.
Conversely, Ether (ETH) investment vehicles continued their underperformance, recording $53 million in capital outflows. This followed the previous week's $222 million in withdrawals, resulting in cumulative year-to-date outflows totaling $327 million.
Butterfill from CoinShares linked the pessimistic sentiment surrounding Ether to recent developments connected to the CLARITY Act, a significant piece of cryptocurrency legislation with strong ties to stablecoins, the majority of which are deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. After multiple months of procedural delays, US Senate Banking Committee member Bill Hagerty stated on Monday that he anticipates a viable pathway forward for the legislation within the upcoming weeks.
From a geographical perspective, Switzerland commanded last week's inflows with approximately $157 million, with Germany and the US following at roughly $28 million apiece, while Canada contributed $11 million.
