While the digital asset investment space continued to lose capital for the third week in a row, posting $795 million in outflows and dragging the month-to-date figure close to the billion mark, a few assets managed to reject the trend — and right at the top of that short list was XRP, which attracted $3.4 million in inflows while almost everything else went the other way.
That kind of divergence does not usually show up so clearly, especially in a week like this where negative sentiment is more or less everywhere at once.
Arman ShirinyanFlows were down across countries, down across providers and down across pretty much every major asset except a handful of small altcoins — but XRP not only avoided the hit, it led all non-Bitcoin tokens in net inflows, as reported by CoinShares.
In a week that saw the United States pull $763 million out of crypto ETPs alone, that stands out.
The larger market narrative has not changed much. Since early February, when outflows really picked up, the sector has seen $7.2 billion pulled out, which has now wiped out nearly all of the net gains made earlier in the year, bringing year-to-date flows to just $165 million.
Tomiwabold OlajideBitcoin (BTC) again saw the most pressure with $751 million in outflows, followed by Ethereum with $37.6 million. Solana (SOL), Sui and Litecoin did not fare much better, all posting losses and even short Bitcoin saw outflows — suggesting bearish bets were being unwound as well.
Gamza KhanzadaevStill, despite the pressure, the total amount of assets under management actually rose — not due to inflows but thanks to a price rebound toward the end of the week after the temporary tariff rollback gave the market some breathing room, pushing the figure back up to $130 billion.
