Ah, the ironies of the market! CoinShares, that tireless chronicler of financial whims, has unveiled its latest tale of woe and wonder for the week ending May 1, 2026. Behold, the XRP funds, once the darlings of the speculative crowd, have suffered a chilling embrace-an 88% plunge in inflows, no less! Yet, like a stubborn weed in a cracked pavement, XRP clings to its green hue, thanks to the steadfast (or perhaps foolhardy) loyalty of Western markets.
The numbers, dry as a Bolshevik’s humor, tell a story: a mere $3 million trickled into global XRP-based ETPs, a pittance compared to the $25 million of the previous week. And yet, in this desert of enthusiasm, XRP stands taller than Ethereum, which bled $81.6 million in outflows. Oh, the schadenfreude of it all!
While the asset’s resilience is as baffling as a capitalist’s conscience, it is the geography of this loyalty that truly tickles the ribs. Germany, that bastion of fiscal prudence, poured in $43.8 million, playing the role of the sober stabilizer in a room full of drunks. Meanwhile, the United States, ever the gambler, contributed $47.5 million, though it teetered on the brink of negativity like a tightrope walker after one too many schnapps.

The $737 Million Hail Mary and the German Dip-Buying Circus
What kept XRP’s head above water? A Friday miracle, of course! A record $737 million inflow across the broader market saved the day, pushing XRP and Bitcoin back into the green. CoinShares’ James Butterfill, ever the poet of finance, called it a “narrow bottleneck,” with $619 million fleeing crypto products earlier in the week. Yet, XRP’s modest $3 million inflow reveals a core of die-hard investors, clinging to their coins like a proletariat to its revolution.
Is this a liquidity drought or a mere hiccup? The green status, despite the 88% drop, suggests that institutional support in the U.S. and Germany is no fleeting fancy but a stubborn foundation. Or perhaps, as the saying goes, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
