XRP has delivered the strongest performance seen so far in 2026 in both its trading price and ETF flows this week.
While its price achieved a major breakout past the $1.50 barrier, the asset was also showing strong demand from its institutional investors as the demand for the XRP-based investment product reached notable levels this week.
XRP ETFs post highest weekly inflow
Amid the growing demand for XRP among both retail and institutional investors, XRP ETFs saw a consistent influx of large capital over the past seven days.
With the strong performances seen over the past week, the XRP ETFs were able to achieve a total weekly inflow of $60.50 million. This marks the largest weekly inflow recorded since the beginning of 2026.
While this marks a strong week for XRP even across the broader crypto market, the asset became the talk of the community following frequent price rallies seen during the week.
As of Thursday, May 14, XRP achieved a massive price surge of over 11% in just one day, breaking its key resistance after hitting a high of $1.54.
This parabolic price move gained market attention and sparked renewed optimism for the asset even across its ETF market as many predicted bigger price moves in the near future.
XRP outperforms Bitcoin and Ethereum
With the massive inflow of $60.50 million that XRP ETFs posted this week, XRP has outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum as they both achieved massive outflows for the week.
Despite seeing a mix of inflows and withdrawals in the past five days, the Bitcoin ETFs saw more capital exit their funds over the period, causing them to achieve a total outflow of $1 billion for the week.
The Ethereum ETFs, on the other hand, witnessed a similar fate as they recorded no daily inflow for the week. As such, they have registered an outflow of $65 million for the same week.
