The trading week from July 6 to July 10 restored optimism to the US cryptocurrency ETF market, but the XRP sector unexpectedly remained on the sidelines of the rally. While institutional investors were actively buying discounted BTC and ETH, spot XRP ETFs recorded $7.18 million in net outflows, according to SoSoValue.
For XRP funds, the week ended a two-month streak of steady inflows. Notably, the entire decline resulted from investors closing positions in one specific fund.
Investors withdrew $7.29 million from the Bitwise XRP ETF, with most of the selling taking place during trading on Wednesday, July 8. The other major issuers remained virtually unchanged during the week: funds managed by Canary, Franklin, and Grayscale recorded zero net capital movement.
The only attempt to offset the losses came from the 21Shares TOXR fund, but its modest $107,400 inflow was not enough to improve the overall result.
Why Bitcoin and Ethereum roared back while XRP paused
The contrast with the rest of the industry was substantial, as the broader ETF market experienced a full trend reversal:
- Bitcoin funds ended a difficult eight-week losing streak and attracted $197 million.
- Ethereum funds also emerged from a similar two-month decline, recording $84.42 million in inflows.
- Funds tracking newer altcoins also remained in positive territory: HYPE-based products attracted $10.36 million, while Solana ETFs brought in $930,400.
Despite the weekly outflow, there is no reason to speak of a systemic crisis in the XRP ecosystem. The figures point instead to a temporary pause. The total net assets held by all seven approved US XRP funds remain near the psychologically important $1 billion level at $996.65 million, while cumulative net inflows since their launch remain stable at $1.48 billion.
Against the backdrop of these internal capital rotations, the XRP price avoided a sharp decline and found temporary balance within the $1.10–$1.11 range.
