XRP ETFs Break Inflow Records: Ripple Coin Outperforms Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana

XRP ETFs Set New Standards for Capital Inflows

Spot XRP ETFs in the United States have continued their success story despite turbulent market conditions, extending their inflow streak to a remarkable 29 consecutive days ^[2]. This represents a new record among crypto ETFs and significantly surpasses both Bitcoin and Solana products.

On Monday, spot XRP ETFs recorded net inflows of $8.44 million ^[2]. Since their launch, cumulative inflows have totaled $1.15 billion, while total net assets stand at approximately $1.24 billion ^[2].

Historical Comparison to Other Crypto ETFs

The 29-day inflow streak of XRP ETFs significantly exceeds the comparative figures of other cryptocurrencies. While BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF IBIT holds the all-time record for a single crypto fund at 71 days, the inflow streak record across all Bitcoin ETFs stands at just 19 days ^[2]. For Solana ETFs, the record is 21 trading days ^[2].

Throughout December, XRP funds attracted $478 million ^[2]. Although daily gains were lower recently than at the beginning of the month, when between $30 and over $40 million per day were recorded, inflows remained consistently positive through the last week ^[2].

Reasons for Sustained Success

Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Kronos Research, explained the strong performance: "The inflows into XRP are a result of regulatory clarity and steady accumulation in a less crowded trade than BTC/ETH" ^[2]. He added that XRP's use case for cross-border settlements "offers a differentiated exposure that continues to attract longer-horizon capital" ^[2].

Challenging Market Environment for Other Cryptocurrencies

While XRP ETFs are flourishing, the broader crypto market is under pressure. Bitcoin is trading at $87,600, losing nearly two percent within 24 hours ^[1]. Ethereum, XRP and Solana are also recording declines ^[1].

According to analyst TXMC, the current directionless behavior of the market is a result of low liquidity ^[1]. Selling pressure continues to come from U.S. exchanges like Coinbase ^[1]. Hope comes from stabilized long-term holder positions and a possible capital rotation from precious metals like palladium into the crypto market ^[1].

Defensive Portfolio Strategies in Uncertain Times

Given the difficult market situation, professional investors are increasingly relying on defensive strategies. A model portfolio with starting capital of $100,000 currently holds nearly 60 percent in stablecoins, specifically Tether (USDT) ^[1]. This high cash position appears to be paying off amid current price corrections, with the portfolio showing only a manageable price loss of 0.39 percent ^[1].

True to the motto "Let the Dust settle," further purchases were avoided in light of the flood of data and the difficult-to-predict impacts ^[1]. Additional investments are planned only when there is more clarity ^[1].
