XRP ETFs Outpace Bitcoin & Ethereum: $756M Inflows Make Them Top Crypto Funds

What Happened

  • On December 1 alone, the four active U.S. XRP ETFs attracted US$89.65 million in new capital. 
  • Since inception, the collective inflows to these XRP funds now total $756.26 million. 
  • By contrast, Bitcoin ETFs gained a modest US$8.48 million on the same day, while Ethereum ETFs saw net outflows. 
  • XRP ETFs haven’t recorded a net outflow day since November 13. Their strongest inflow days include November 14 (≈ US$243 million), November 20 (~US$118 million), and November 24 (~US$164 million). 

Why It Matters

  • New confidence in alt-coin ETFs: The inflow numbers suggest that institutional and retail investors are actively embracing crypto beyond BTC and ETH — shifting some focus toward alt-coins like XRP.
  • Diversification within crypto exposure: For investors wary of overconcentration in BTC or ETH, XRP ETFs now offer a regulated, accessible alternative within the ETF wrapper.
  • Liquidity & market dynamics: Large inflows can deepen order books and improve tradability for XRP, potentially supporting price stability — though actual token performance remains detached for now.

But XRP Price Isn’t Following Yet

Despite the record inflows into XRP ETFs:

  • XRP as a token has dropped ~8% on the week, briefly dipping below US$2.00. 
  • On a year-to-date basis, XRP remains in red, underscoring a disconnect between fund inflows and spot-market sentiment. 

That suggests while ETF demand is strong, broader market forces — macro conditions, token-specific sentiment, and broader crypto volatility — continue to weigh heavily.

What to Watch Next

  • Whether XRP ETFs can maintain inflows given volatility — consistent positive net flow would reinforce their lead vs. BTC/ETH funds.
  • Any spillover into token price: sustained demand via ETFs could help support spot liquidity over time.
  • Broader market reaction: if ETF inflows to alt-coins spread beyond XRP (e.g. other altcoins), market dynamics might shift from BTC-dominance to more diversified crypto exposure.
