Spot XRP ETFs Draw $82M as BTC/ETH ETFs See Large Outflows; SOL Gains

Spot XRP ETFs in the US recorded $82 million of net inflows last week, pushing total XRP ETF assets under management (AUM) above $1.2 billion after six consecutive weeks of inflows since their mid‑November launch. Early demand was initially retail-led but institutional investors — including pension and insurance funds — have begun allocating to XRP ETFs, with industry figures citing XRP’s payments use case and operational track record as easing institutional adoption. By contrast, US Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs saw significant outflows last week: roughly $497 million from BTC ETFs and about $644 million from ETH ETFs (SoSoValue data). Solana spot ETFs attracted $66.5 million in inflows. Despite these ETF flows, XRP’s price slipped below $2 amid broader market weakness. Earlier reporting showed a different snapshot in which US crypto ETFs overall had net inflows exceeding $500 million over a comparable period, led by BTC ($287M) and ETH ($209M), Solana ($33.6M) and persistent XRP inflows over 30 days. The combined coverage indicates a rotation of capital: some money is moving away from BTC/ETH ETFs into alternative spot-crypto ETFs like XRP and SOL, reflecting shifting retail and growing institutional interest in non-BTC/ETH exposure. For traders: monitor ETF subscription/redemption data, AUM trends, and short-term liquidity as these reallocations can decouple ETF flows from immediate spot price moves, create transient volatility in BTC/ETH and bolster demand for XRP and SOL.
Neutral
The news shows sustained net inflows into spot XRP ETFs and inflows to Solana products while US BTC and ETH spot ETFs registered notable outflows in the latest snapshot. For XRP, consecutive weekly ETF inflows and rising AUM indicate increasing demand and institutional interest — a bullish structural signal for medium-to-long-term adoption. However, the immediate price reaction (XRP dipping below $2) and large outflows from BTC/ETH ETFs introduce short-term downward pressure and cross-asset liquidity rotation. Overall impact on XRP is neutral: flows support underlying demand and could be bullish over a longer horizon, but near-term market weakness and capital rotation between ETFs can mute or reverse price gains. Traders should expect potential short-term volatility as reallocations unfold, while monitoring ETF subscription/redemption figures and AUM trends for directional clues.
