XRP has stayed near $1.36, even as broader crypto markets remain weak. Recent ETF flows and on chain data suggest some investors may be shifting money out of Bitcoin and Ether and into XRP instead.

$XRP 4h price chart

XRP funds record steady weekly inflows

XRP linked investment products have attracted about $42 million in net inflows over the past week.

Recent daily inflows include:

This steady flow of money into XRP stands out because it is happening while major crypto assets are seeing consistent selling pressure.

Bitcoin and Ether ETFs face strong outflows

At the same time, Bitcoin ETFs are seeing heavy withdrawals:

  • $100.9 million latest session
  • $648.6 million earlier in the week
  • $331.1 million and $290.4 million in previous days

Ether funds are also under pressure, losing about $32.6 million in the latest session.

These outflows suggest weakening demand for the biggest crypto assets.

On-chain data shows sudden XRP wallet spike

Blockchain data shows a sharp rise in XRP activity, with around 4,300 new wallets created in a single day. This is one of the largest daily spikes of the year.

However, analysts note that XRP’s overall network growth has been weak since late 2025, so this may be a short term burst rather than long term adoption.

The data is creating debate. Some traders think this could be an early rotation into XRP, while others believe it is just temporary speculation during a weak crypto market.
