Crypto Investment Inflows Rebound on XRP Surge Amid Mixed Market Signals

Global cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded a rebound in investor interest last week, with $224 million in inflows following a $414 million outflow the previous week, according to CoinShares. The inflows pushed total assets under management to approximately $131.8 billion, aligning with levels from the same period last year. Year-to-date, crypto ETPs have attracted $1.2 billion in inflows, compared to $960 million in the same timeframe in 2024. XRP (XRP) led the recovery, drawing $120 million in inflows—nearly half of the week’s total—and marking its largest weekly inflow since mid-December 2025. Bitcoin (BTC) ETPs followed with $107 million in inflows, though only $22 million came from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which remain in negative territory year-to-date. Solana (SOL) also saw modest gains of $35 million, while Ether (ETH) investment products posted $53 million in outflows, extending their year-to-date losses to $327 million. CoinShares research head James Butterfill attributed the mixed performance to evolving macroeconomic data and policy expectations, noting that the inflows represented a temporary rebound before later-week developments dampened momentum. The negative sentiment around Ether, he added, was linked to ongoing delays in the CLARITY Act, a key crypto legislation affecting stablecoins tied to the Ethereum blockchain. The bill’s potential progress, hinted at by US Senator Bill Hagerty, could influence future market dynamics. Geographically, Switzerland led inflows with $157 million, followed by Germany and the US at $28 million each, and Canada with $11 million. The uneven distribution highlights regional differences in investor appetite for crypto assets, with European markets showing stronger inflows compared to the US, where regulatory uncertainty continues to weigh on ETF performance.
