Institutional Shift in Crypto Investments: Recent trends indicate that institutional investors are moving capital from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs to XRP-linked products, as highlighted in CNBC's coverage of crypto ETF flows.
Sustained Inflows into XRP ETFs: XRP-focused ETFs have seen consistent inflows, totaling around $1 billion since their launch on November 13, 2025, contrasting with the net outflows experienced by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs during the same period.
Differentiated Institutional Allocation: The growing interest in XRP ETFs suggests that institutions are reassessing their investment strategies, focusing on asset-specific fundamentals rather than broader market trends.
