These inflows have not gone unnoticed. Institutions continue to explore the future of XRP’s ETF and ETP products. Grayscale, Bitwise, and Bitnomial held a meeting to discuss the way forward for these products.

Volume has also been key in these products. The volume shot up when the day’s trading opened. In the first half hour, the total hit $5 million. Bitwise XRP went up $1.92 million in just one minute.

At the same time, other crypto ETFs were losing money every week. But last week alone, XRP ETFs brought in $39 million. This strength showed that there was a clear demand.

Other Crypto ETFs Lag Behind XRP ETFs

While XRP ETFs were doing well, other crypto ETFs have had a hard time. In one recent session, Bitcoin ETFs lost $272 million, and last week they lost $689 million. Ethereum did the same thing, losing $149 million.

The situation was worse for Dogecoin ETFs, which didn’t move much. Since they started, they have only brought in $6.5 million. And in total, Dogecoin ETFs hold less than $9 million in capital. This was an indication of real struggle.

Solana ETFs made only $2.94 million a week. But last week alone, XRP made $39 million. This was more than 10x less than that of XRP. It’s easy to see this difference. Money was moving to XRP while other coins lost value.

Comparison of Market Performance: XRP ETF vs. XRP Crypto Prices

The charts were, however, different. XRP ETFs ended the day up 21%. The value of XRP crypto dropped by 3%. This gap is very noticeable. This meant that ETFs were attracting more money than the native cryptocurrency.

ETF demand remained strong, but crypto faced selling pressure. Hope was growing the same way as interest. The momentum of ETFs may help the recovery, but it is not guaranteed.

However, the weakness could last if crypto continues to lose capital. It was still possible to keep selling, as the top 100 coins were, on average, in the bear market zone. Both results were real. Getting better or getting worse was the market’s choice.
