- XRP led altcoin ETF inflows with over $9M
Altcoins Shine Amid ETF Outflows
On January 27, 2026, spot ETFs for XRP and SOL recorded net inflows, defying the broader trend of capital exiting major crypto funds. This shift in investor behavior is drawing attention from market watchers, particularly as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs posted significant outflows.
XRP spot ETFs led the altcoin pack with a notable $9.16 million in net inflows. Solana (SOL) followed with a more modest $1.87 million. These numbers suggest that despite the dominance of BTC and ETH in the ETF space, alternative assets are slowly gaining investor confidence.
BTC and ETH ETFs See Major Withdrawals
In stark contrast, BTC and ETH spot ETFs experienced heavy outflows. Bitcoin ETFs lost a staggering $147.37 million, while Ethereum ETFs followed with $63.53 million in net redemptions.
These outflows may reflect short-term profit-taking, macroeconomic concerns, or shifting investor sentiment towards underpriced assets like XRP and SOL. The pattern also raises questions about whether traditional investors are becoming more open to diversifying beyond the top two cryptocurrencies.
What This Means for the Market
The divergence in ETF flows highlights growing interest in altcoins and signals that investors may be rebalancing their crypto portfolios. XRP’s legal clarity in the U.S. and Solana’s rising developer activity could be contributing factors behind this surge in demand.
While BTC and ETH remain dominant, the inflows into XRP and SOL ETFs may indicate the early stages of a broader altcoin adoption trend in institutional finance. If this continues, it could reshape the ETF landscape in the months to come.
