Xrp saw significant institutional inflows of $84.3 million last week, driven by speculation over a u.s. spot etf. its year-to-date inflows stand at $1.9 billion, positioning it as a top-tracked single-asset product. institutional capital is actively positioning, waiting for regulatory clarity, with etf filings being key drivers.
The data is sourced from coinshares, a reputable digital asset fund flow tracker, and supported by insights from well-known bloomberg etf analysts eric balchunas and nate geraci.
The substantial institutional inflows and the high number of active xrp etf applications (20) signal strong institutional interest and potential demand. analysts believe the current u.s. government shutdown is the main hurdle for approvals, and its resolution could trigger a 'bigger institutional leg,' pushing prices upward.
While immediate price movements may occur upon news of etf progress or approval, the underlying institutional adoption and capital allocation driven by spot etfs represent a structural, long-term bullish catalyst for xrp.

For comparison, in the same week Ethereum had its first outflows in over a month, losing $169 million. Solana, in the meantime, posted $29 million, keeping its year-to-date total above $2.8 billion.

ETF filings remain the key drivers behind the crypto investments, in product form too. According to Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas, there are 155 active applications across 35 assets, with XRP having 20 of them. None of them received a full-fledged greenlight yet, and the reason is the U.S. government shutdown. Analysts like Nate Geraci say the situation is like a dam holding back approvals. Once the shutdown ends, XRP's $1.9 billion in inflows this year might not be a peak but the groundwork for a bigger institutional leg. The fact that ETP volumes touched $39 billion last week against a $28 billion average underscores that institutional capital is not just circling but actively positioning, waiting for clarity. #XRP #XRP News #Ripple News #Solana
