Shocking! XRP Overtakes Bitcoin in Institutional Flows – The Crypto Shakeup You Didn’t See Coming! 🚀

by

Well, hold onto your hats, folks. XRP just did what many thought impossible: it flipped Bitcoin in the super serious world of institutional dough. Yeah, while your Bitcoin strolled around chilling under $90K, XRP was busy pulling in some serious cash-like a crypto version of the cool kid at the park, except instead of skateboards, it’s pouring millions into its digital pockets. CoinShares’ James Butterfill practically had to sit down after writing this blog post.

XRP’s Weekly Inflow: Just $70.2 Million? No Big Deal.

In the span of seven days, XRP raked in $70.2 million from those oh-so-discerning institutional investors. Basically, XRP’s party trick of the week was collecting more cash than your grandma’s vintage coin jar. It’s the star of the show, pulling in more funds than Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana-who, let’s be honest, are probably wondering what’s happening. Solana, proud and nicely green, managed a mere $7.5 million, which is basically the difference between XRP’s tip jar and Solana’s lemonade stand.

This signals one thing: XRP is getting the crypto world’s VIP treatment, even though it’s not exactly breaking the bank with its current sub-$2 price tag. Investors are still pumping cash because, apparently, they see the dip as the perfect shopping spree. Gotta love a good bargain, right?

At press time, XRP was hanging out at $1.86, up a tiny 0.05% in the past 24 hours. Early in the day, it flirted with $1.91 but was either too shy or just refused to hit that elusive $2. resistance. Volume, however, exploded by 84.11%, hitting $1.96 billion. Looks like everyone’s trying to get a piece of this digital pie before it gets cold.

Bitcoin’s Outflow: The Great Escape

Meanwhile, old Uncle Bitcoin is feeling a little less loved-like a student who just got their paper back with a big red “Needs Improvement.” Over the past week, $443 million has just headed for the exits, leaving Bitcoin below the $90K line. The crypto market, in general, isn’t exactly screaming ‘confidence’ right now, with total weekly outflows hitting $446 million. Since October 10, investors have taken a cool $3.2 billion and run-probably to buy less risky things like gold-plated lattes.

In an even sadder twist, U.S. exchanges lost a whopping $460 million. Switzerland? Just $14.2 million. Meanwhile, Germany quietly snuck in $35.7 million to help stabilize the budget. It’s like a really slow-moving soap opera of money, and nobody’s winning best actor.

Basically, the entire market feels like it’s taking a long nap before the next big hype-maybe in 2026? Who knows, but the vibe is definitely low, and traders are just waiting for that magic moment when hope hits the jackpot again.
