Global XRP ETF Inflows Jump 70% as Bitcoin and Ethereum See Withdrawals

Capital has been rotating across major digital assets, and XRP-linked products are emerging as a clear winner. CoinShares data cited by CoinDesk show global inflows into XRP-based investment products reached $67.6 million last week, up 70% from $39.6 million the prior week. Headline regional figures initially suggest Europe dominated activity. At the same time, heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East pushed U.S. investors to cut risk, leading to a net outflow of $1.1403 billion from the U.S. market overall. Bitcoin saw $981.5 million in outflows, while Ethereum posted $249.3 million in withdrawals. More granular figures from SoSoValue point to a different conclusion on XRP: most of the $67.6 million global inflow was driven by the United States. The U.S. Spot XRP ETF alone took in $60.5 million. European exchange-traded products (ETPs) and other regions accounted for just over $7.1 million, up from $5.39 million a week earlier. CoinShares' breakdown indicates Switzerland (+$22.8 million) and Germany (+$22 million) showed steady, broad-based demand across multiple digital assets. U.S. investors, in contrast, appeared more selective, leaning into XRP as a defensive positioning choice for the week. CoinShares analyst James Butterfill said positive insider sentiment helped keep the broader altcoin market from sliding into a larger downturn. Regulatory expectations also improved after progress on the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act at the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. The bill is reportedly being pushed for passage before June 4, a timeline viewed as achievable if the full Senate votes in favor. That regulatory optimism, combined with macro pressure on Bitcoin, helped shift U.S. demand toward selective buying—with XRP the week's biggest beneficiary.
