XRP ETF Inflows Rise as Bitcoin ETFs See Outflows

Key Takeaways

  • XRP spot ETFs posted eight straight weeks of net inflows through June 26, totaling $22.99 million.
  • Bitcoin ETFs saw seven straight weeks of net outflows, while BTC fell to its lowest level since late 2024.
  • The seven active XRP funds now manage nearly $1 billion combined, pointing to growing institutional demand.

XRP spot ETFs kept their winning streak alive for an eighth straight week through June 26, bringing in $22.99 million (€20.2 million) in net inflows. Over the same stretch, Bitcoin ETFs were hit with sizable outflows as BTC dropped to its lowest level since late 2024. The split highlights just how uneven institutional appetite has become across crypto.

XRP Keeps the Momentum Going

XRP's strongest weekly inflow in June came last week. On June 26, Bitwise added $11.18 million (€9.8 million), while Franklin Templeton's XRPZ brought in another $3.80 million (€3.3 million) the same day. Canary Capital and Grayscale, meanwhile, saw only modest activity on most trading days.

What stands out is that none of the XRP funds recorded an outflow day. Together, the seven active funds now hold nearly $1 billion (€0.9 billion) in assets under management. For a product category that only reached the U.S. market floor in November 2025, that is a meaningful early signal.

Bitcoin ETFs Under Pressure

At the same time, Bitcoin ETFs have now posted seven consecutive weeks of net outflows. CoinGlass data shows that last week included a single day with $444.50 million (€390 million) leaving the funds. That pulled total net assets in the BTC ETF complex down to $81.85 billion (€71.8 billion), from about $107.8 billion (€94.6 billion) in mid-May.

Bitcoin's slide came as broader macro conditions turned less friendly. A sell-off in semiconductor and AI stocks weighed on risk assets, while reports that the CLARITY Act could be delayed added another layer of uncertainty. ETF redemptions also fed into the weakness, since issuers had to sell underlying BTC to meet withdrawals.

Why This Matters for Europe

For European crypto readers, the move is a reminder that spot ETFs are more than just a U.S. market story. They also offer a window into how institutions are sorting through different crypto assets. XRP has benefited from the legal clarity that followed a 2023 federal court ruling that XRP traded on public exchanges is not a security. That backdrop later helped clear the way for spot XRP ETFs to launch in November 2025, after Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs had already set the precedent.

That makes the current inflow streak relevant well beyond the U.S. It suggests investors are still separating individual cryptos, regulation, and product design, even as the broader market faces pressure.
