XRP ETF Inflows Extend to 8 Consecutive Weeks as Bitcoin ETFs Face Mounting Redemptions

XRP spot ETFs have quietly built an impressive eight-week inflow streak, collecting $22.99 million in the week ending June 26 — the strongest single-week figure for XRP funds throughout the entire month of June. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs are telling a very different story, with net outflows accelerating as BTC prices tumbled to their lowest point since late 2024.

The divergence between the two assets became particularly stark during the final week of June. According to CoinGlass data, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a staggering $444.50 million in net outflows in a single trading session. By contrast, XRP ETFs recorded zero outflow days across the entire week — a remarkable show of institutional confidence at a time when the broader crypto market is under significant pressure.

On the XRP side, Bitwise's XRP ETF was the standout performer, contributing $11.18 million in inflows on June 26 alone. Franklin Templeton's XRPZ product added another $3.80 million on the same day. Canary Capital and Grayscale saw minimal movement across most sessions, yet the seven currently active XRP ETF funds collectively hold combined assets under management that are approaching the $1 billion threshold — a milestone that would have seemed unlikely just months ago.

Bitcoin's situation is considerably more troubled. The asset has now endured seven straight weeks of net ETF outflows, with total net assets across the BTC ETF complex declining to $81.85 billion from approximately $107.8 billion in mid-May. That represents a significant erosion of institutional positioning in a relatively short timeframe.

The macro backdrop did Bitcoin no favors. On June 25, BTC dropped below $60,000 — a level not seen since October 2024 — as multiple headwinds converged simultaneously. A sharp selloff in semiconductor and AI-related equities pushed investors toward the exits on risk assets broadly. Reports suggesting a potential delay to the CLARITY Act introduced fresh regulatory uncertainty into an already fragile environment. Compounding matters, ETF redemptions triggered mechanical selling pressure as fund issuers liquidated underlying BTC holdings to satisfy withdrawal requests. Bitcoin now sits roughly 31% lower year-to-date and has shed more than 50% from its all-time high of $126,272, which was set in October 2025.

XRP has not been immune to selling pressure either, having declined from its January 2026 peak of $2.40. However, on a relative basis, XRP has demonstrated considerably more resilience than Bitcoin. Market observers interpret the sustained ETF inflow streak as a sign that institutional investors are treating XRP's regulatory clarity as a distinct and positive differentiator from the generalized macro-driven selloff affecting digital assets.

The key question heading into July is whether this institutional bid can be maintained. The answer will likely hinge on two factors: meaningful progress on the CLARITY Act and the evolution of broader macroeconomic conditions in the weeks ahead. If regulatory visibility improves and risk appetite stabilizes, XRP ETFs could extend their streak further. If macro headwinds persist, even XRP's relative strength may face a more serious test.
