XRP ETFs post 13th consecutive week of inflows despite broader market decline and XRP price falling 7% weekly to $1.40.
Macro & Markets ·
XRP exchange-traded funds extended their winning streak to 13 consecutive weeks, drawing $11.31 million in net inflows despite deteriorating conditions across most of the digital asset market. The cumulative tally of inflows into XRP ETFs has reached $1.8 billion, a fresh all-time high. This resilience stands in sharp contrast to broader crypto holdings, where Bitcoin ETFs shed $681 million and Ethereum ETFs lost $542 million as Bitcoin faced rejection near $87,000.
The disconnect between ETF flows and spot price reveals an asymmetry in market dynamics. XRP's price began the week at $1.51, descended to $1.32 during the downturn, and has since recovered partially to $1.40—still representing a 7% weekly loss. The pattern of sustained ETF demand amid price weakness raises questions about the drivers behind institutional flows and whether they reflect conviction independent of short-term price action or are responding to other catalysts.
What remains unclear is whether the streak of inflows will persist if price declines accelerate further, and whether the divergence between ETF accumulation and spot weakness indicates genuine value-hunting or is temporary. The depth of institutional interest relative to retail positioning also remains uncharted.
