XRP Outperforms in ETF Inflows During Market Turmoil
XRP saw a 19.6% drop on Feb. 5, reaching a 15-month low of $1.11 before partially recovering. Yet, unlike other major assets, ETF products linked to XRP posted consistent inflows throughout the week.
According to data from Coinglass, XRP ETFs recorded inflows on four out of five trading days. Even on Feb. 5, when XRP dropped sharply, ETF products attracted $5.91 million in capital. The largest inflow came on Feb. 3, totaling $19.46 million, while Feb. 6 saw $15.16 million added to XRP-linked funds.
In total, XRP ETF products pulled in $44.95 million during the week, reversing the previous two weeks of negative flows. Between Jan. 23 and Jan. 30, XRP ETFs lost a combined $92.9 million.
Franklin and Bitwise Drive Most of the Weekly Inflows
The Franklin XRPZ and Bitwise XRP ETFs were the biggest contributors to the recent surge. Together, they accounted for over 90% of the weekly net inflow, with Franklin XRPZ pulling in $20.51 million and Bitwise XRP adding $20.01 million.
Other products such as Canary Capital’s XRPC brought in $3.43 million, while Grayscale’s GXRP recorded $1.36 million in net inflows. The only XRP ETF to experience outflows was 21Shares’ product, which saw $348,000 in withdrawals.
The latest ETF activity brought the total net assets under XRP ETFs to $1.04 billion. This now represents about 1.17% of XRP’s total market cap.
Bitcoin Ethereum and Solana ETFs Face Major Weekly Losses
While XRP recorded positive inflows, other top assets saw large outflows. Bitcoin ETFs experienced $358 million in capital exits, while Ethereum funds lost $170.4 million. Solana ETFs faced $9.3 million in outflows, with most losses occurring on Feb. 6.
The ETF data reflects broader investor caution during the recent market volatility. Despite the approval of spot crypto ETFs in recent months, price swings have remained high. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas commented,
“I was wrong when I said we’d see less wild volatility. I’ll take the L there.”
Institutional Buyers Treated Dip as Entry Point
Institutional desks appeared to view the sharp drop in prices as a buying opportunity. On Feb. 6 alone, XRP ETF products received $39.04 million in inflows. Bitwise led that day’s inflow with $8.29 million, while Franklin XRPZ added $3.94 million.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse addressed the downturn by quoting Warren Buffett’s advice: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful,” suggesting long-term confidence from institutional holders.
Despite recent turbulence, XRP’s ETF inflows mark a shift in sentiment and growing institutional exposure amid a volatile digital asset market.
