XRP spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted $2.66 million in net inflows last week, while the larger cryptocurrency ETF market saw significant outflows. Bitcoin and Ethereum funds recorded outflows of $296.18 million and $206.58 million, respectively. This divergent flow data comes as XRP’s price showed a minor 1.1% 24-hour gain, though it remains down significantly over longer time frames amid broader market volatility.
Institutional investment flows for major cryptocurrencies diverged sharply last week. Spot ETFs for Ripple‘s XRP token saw $2.66 million in net inflows, while funds for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) experienced collective outflows. “ETF outflows could be a signal of what institutional investors are feeling,” the report noted.
Despite the ETF inflows, XRP’s price movement appears tied to the broader market. According to CoinGecko data, XRP is up 1.1% in 24 hours but down 38% since late March 2025. The crypto market in general experienced a slight rebound after a weekend dip, with Bitcoin reclaiming the $67,000 level.
Several macroeconomic factors continue to pressure risky assets like cryptocurrencies. The ongoing US-Iran conflict presents significant challenges to market stability. Furthermore, the prospect of an interest rate cut in April remains slim, maintaining headwinds for a sector-wide price rally.
