Breaking News: XRP ETFs Plunge 45% But US Still Leading – What’s Going On?

by

Well, well, well. According to CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report (because we all love a good weekly report, right?), XRP exchange-traded funds have seen a dramatic drop in inflows-45% to be precise-over the past week (Feb 23 to March 1). Totaling a modest $1.9 million by the end of the week, it’s safe to say the XRP party is slowing down. To put that in perspective, during the same period, a whopping $1.061 billion poured into crypto ETFs and other exchange-traded investment products. You know, just casual billion-dollar flows. XRP’s share? A mere 0.18%. Ouch.

Just a few weeks ago, XRP-linked products were practically the life of the party. They were attracting capital like nobody’s business, leaving all the other ETFs looking like they forgot to RSVP. Now, not so much.

But here’s the kicker: since the start of the year, XRP ETFs have still managed to rake in $153 million, which is second only to Solana’s $156 million. So, uh, not a complete disaster, then. You know, some capital still likes the idea of XRP.

Let’s not forget the month-to-date figure: $106.8 million, which is the highest among comparable products. So, while the weekly decline might look like the crypto world’s version of a sad trombone, it’s hardly the end of the line. XRP’s been doing fine, just taking a little breather (like the rest of us after a long week of poor life choices).

Demand for XRP ETF Seems to Be Fulfilled for Now

Now, let’s get to the nitty-gritty. What’s going on with XRP? It looks like the demand for the ETF simply ran its course. XRP was attracting capital at lightning speed, and now that the available demand has pretty much been absorbed, there’s less left for XRP to nab in the final week of February. It’s not like XRP’s lost its appeal; it just doesn’t have the same urgency it once did. If you were hoping for a continuous flow of funds, well, bad news, my friend. When everyone else catches up, there’s not much leftover for XRP.

But here’s the silver lining: XRP didn’t suffer any outflows, and that’s arguably more important than a 45% dip in inflows. That’s right-no one’s dumping XRP. Yet. That’s good news, right?

What happens next? A lot depends on price action. XRP is still hanging around the critical $1.40 mark like that one person who just won’t leave the party until someone tells them to go home. It’s range-bound, moving sideways, waiting for something-anything-to give it the push it needs. Either the market as a whole will move, or some new XRP narrative will break the tie. Fingers crossed!

And in case you’re wondering, the United States is still absolutely killing it in crypto ETF inflows. They raked in a cool $958.2 million, leaving Canada in the dust with a humble $34.1 million. The gap is so wide, it’s almost embarrassing for Canada. But hey, second place isn’t so bad, right?
