According to a fresh weekly report from CoinShares on funds flows into crypto-oriented investment products, inflows into those tied to XRP rose by more than 33% in the past week. In the past seven days, they have reached $400,000, which brings the year-to-date net flow figure to $1 million.

This is despite the fact that there have now been $177 million outflows from this sector of the financial markets since the beginning of the year, which represents 40.87% of the total net flows for the whole of 2022.
