XRP ETFs Remain Only Bright Spot as BTC and Other Crypto Funds See Heavy Outflows
XRP ETF products were the sole category to post inflows on a day when Bitcoin ETFs shed $244 million and other crypto funds extended their outflow streaks. The divergence highlights a shift in institutional sentiment that appears to favor XRP-linked products over broader crypto ETF vehicles. Bitcoin itself retreated to around $82,000 following a $1 billion liquidation event.
XRP ETFs stood out as the only funds in positive territory on Thursday, a notable divergence from the broader crypto ETF landscape. Bitcoin ETFs recorded outflows of $244 million in a single session, while funds tracking assets such as Zcash continued a sustained run of October outflows.
The session was marked by a $1 billion liquidation event that pushed Bitcoin back toward the $82,000 level, contributing to a risk-off tone across most crypto assets. Despite this backdrop, XRP-linked ETF products held their ground and attracted net positive flows.
The relative strength of XRP ETFs during a broad market selloff is a data point that institutional observers are likely to monitor. It suggests that demand for regulated XRP exposure through exchange-traded products is holding firm even when overall crypto sentiment is under pressure.
This development comes at a time when the XRP ETF product category is still relatively new and building a track record. Sustained inflows during adverse conditions could support the case for future institutional adoption of these products.
