Investment products based on XRP recorded an acceleration in capital inflows, becoming one of the main beneficiaries of the recent warming in the U.S. regulatory climate. According to the latest weekly report from CoinShares, net inflows into XRP ETFs over the past seven days surged by 1,220% - from a modest $3 million the previous week to $39.6 million.
The current spike in interest in XRP is not a random speculative move, but a direct reaction from institutional investors to the progress surrounding the U.S. CLARITY Act, suggests CoinShares analyst James Butterfill.
On May 1, Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks introduced the final compromise version of the bill regulating stablecoin yields, and on May 4, the authors of the legislation firmly pushed back against attempts by the banking lobby to soften or block key provisions. This week, a final vote in the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is expected.
It is precisely the hardline stance from lawmakers that restored market confidence in the near-term arrival of legal clarity for altcoins, which was immediately reflected in the actions of large funds, Butterfill says.
US investors outpace Europe for XRP exposure
While interest in XRP ETFs two weeks ago was driven primarily by European and Canadian investors, the picture changed dramatically over the past seven days. The United States accounted for $34.21 million, or around 86% of all global XRP inflows during the week, while the contribution from the rest of the world, including traditionally active Germany and Switzerland, amounted to a moderate but stable $5.39 million.
Against the backdrop of this rally, the total assets under management (AUM) in XRP-based products reached $2.564 billion, while net inflows since the beginning of 2025 moved close to the $191 million mark.
Despite the powerful injection of capital into ETFs, the price of XRP remains trapped in the $1.41-$1.50 range, facing resistance possibly in part because of profit-taking by large holders.
Nevertheless, while Bitcoin attempts to storm the $80,000 level, absorbing the lion's share of the crypto industry's total weekly inflows ($706 million out of $858 million), XRP is successfully forming its own independent trend, which may indicate that large capital is already pricing in a positive outcome of the Senate vote.
