Bitcoin and ETH ETFs face heavy weekly outflows
The positive momentum in XRP funds comes as the two largest crypto ETF categories continue to lose assets.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $1.42 billion in net outflows during the same period. The largest single-day outflow occurred on May 27, when investors withdrew about $733 million. BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for roughly $527 million of that figure.
Ethereum ETFs also remained under pressure, posting about $241 million over the same period. On May 29 alone, the sector recorded $17.91 million in outflows, extending its decline to 14 straight sessions.
Bitwise and major asset managers lead XRP demand
This inflow to XRP ETFs is managed by different companies. On May 29 alone, Bitwise recorded the largest share of XRP ETF inflows for the day with $7.36 million.
Canary Capital’s XRPC added $2.38 million, while Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ attracted another $2.14 million. Products from 21Shares and Grayscale reported no new inflows during the session. According to the latest figures, total net assets held by XRP ETFs reached approximately $1.12 billion.
Beyond XRP, several altcoin ETF products also posted weekly gains. Hyperliquid ETFs added about $25.57 million, Solana ETFs recorded $2.36 million in inflows, and Chainlink products brought in $2.02 million. Hedera ETFs gained nearly $250,000. Meanwhile, ETFs tied to BNB, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Avalanche ended the day without new inflows.
XRP price surge to $1.34
The surge in XRP fund activity comes as the token trades near $1.34, up more than 2.96% over the previous 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
At the same time, trading activity has increased by 11.7% over the same 24-hour period, reaching $2.28 million, while its market cap sits at $83.07 billion.
XRP ETF growth backed by market expansion
A recent report from Messari’s “State of XRP Q1 2026” showed that XRP ETF growth has been steady since launch. U.S. spot XRP ETFs were approved by the SEC and launched in the last quarter of 2025. After launch, they crossed $1 billion in assets under management in less than four weeks. This made them one of the fastest-growing crypto ETF groups in recent times.
By the end of the first quarter of 2026, XRP ETFs held about 775.4 million XRP. This is around 1.26% of all XRP in circulation. That number also grew by 1.9% compared to the previous quarter. At one point, holdings even reached 810.2 million XRP on March 3, 2026, showing strong buying activity earlier in the year.
The report also noted that nearly 905 million XRP are now held in verified ETF vaults, representing about 1.37% of the asset’s total market capitalization.
Among the major ETF providers, Canary Capital’s XRPC held 197.1 million XRP, making it the largest at the time. Bitwise followed closely with 194.9 million XRP. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ held 159.7 million XRP, while 21Shares’ TOXR managed 105.8 million XRP. Grayscale also had a smaller share at 70.84 million XRP.
According to Messari, the XRP ETF market remains broadly spread out, with the four largest U.S. spot funds each holding between 13% and 26% of total XRP ETF assets.
