XRP ETFs Mark Eight Straight Weeks of Inflows as Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $444M in a Single Day

XRP spot ETFs have now recorded inflows for eight consecutive weeks, with the latest streak running through June 26 and bringing in $22.99 million during that final week alone. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs continued their downward spiral, posting significant outflows as BTC dropped to its lowest price point since late 2024.

The contrast between the two assets became especially stark in the most recent trading week. According to CoinGlass data, Bitcoin ETFs shed a staggering $444.50 million in net outflows during a single session — while XRP ETFs did not record a single day of net outflows throughout the entire week.

XRP ETF Momentum Builds Despite Price Softness

The $22.99 million weekly figure for XRP ETFs was the strongest single-week result recorded in June. Bitwise's XRP ETF led the charge, contributing $11.18 million on June 26 alone. Franklin Templeton's XRPZ fund followed with an additional $3.80 million on the same date. Canary Capital and Grayscale saw relatively minor movement across most sessions, but the seven active XRP ETF products collectively hold combined assets under management approaching $1 billion — a notable milestone for a relatively young product category.

The persistent inflow trend is particularly striking given that XRP's price has declined from its January 2026 peak of $2.40. Despite the price softness, institutional capital has continued flowing in, suggesting that investors are treating XRP's regulatory standing as an independent factor rather than lumping it in with broader crypto market sentiment.

Bitcoin ETF Complex Takes a Heavy Hit

Bitcoin ETFs have now strung together seven consecutive weeks of net outflows. Total net assets across the BTC ETF landscape dropped to $81.85 billion, a sharp decline from approximately $107.8 billion recorded in mid-May. BTC itself slid below $60,000 on June 25, marking its weakest level since October 2024.

Several forces converged to drive the selloff. A wave of selling in semiconductor and AI-related equities pulled institutional investors away from risk assets more broadly. Adding to the pressure, reports emerged suggesting a potential delay in the CLARITY Act — a development that reintroduced regulatory uncertainty into the market. On top of that, ETF redemptions triggered mechanical selling, as issuers were required to liquidate underlying BTC holdings to fulfill withdrawal requests.

Bitcoin is now down roughly 31% year-to-date and sits more than 50% below its all-time high of $126,272 set in October 2025.

Regulatory Clarity Emerges as a Key Differentiator

The diverging ETF flow data points to a growing split in institutional sentiment between Bitcoin and XRP. While BTC faces a combination of macro headwinds and regulatory ambiguity, XRP appears to benefit from a perception of greater legal clarity — a sentiment that has been building since the conclusion of the SEC's long-running lawsuit against Ripple.

Whether XRP ETFs can maintain their inflow streak heading into July will largely hinge on two factors: progress on the CLARITY Act and the overall direction of macro conditions in the coming weeks. If regulatory tailwinds persist and risk appetite returns to markets, XRP could continue outperforming on the institutional flow front. If macro pressures intensify, even XRP's relative resilience may face a sterner test.
