While Bitcoin and Ethereum struggle, XRP and Solana are quietly attracting billions.
Investor interest remained strong for XRP and SOL last week, as the two assets recorded the highest inflows among crypto products. XRP attracted $70.2 million, while Solana added $7.5 million. This trend has continued since their ETFs launched in the US in mid-October, and has brought total inflows to $1.14 billion for XRP and $1.34 billion for Solana.
These gains come despite broader negative sentiment in the crypto market.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Lose
According to CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, Bitcoin and Ethereum moved in the opposite direction, seeing significant outflows. Bitcoin products lost $443 million last week, while Ethereum saw $59.5 million exit. Since the ETF launches, Bitcoin and Ethereum have recorded $2.8 billion and $1.6 billion in outflows, respectively. Multi-asset crypto funds also fell by $27.2 million, though Chainlink attracted $2.1 million.
Zooming out, digital asset investment products continued to face selling pressure last week and recorded $446 million in outflows. This brings total withdrawals since the sharp price drop on October 10 to $3.2 billion, as investor confidence has yet to fully recover. While recent flows look weak, year-to-date data tells a more balanced story. Total inflows for the year stand at $46.3 billion, close to the $48.7 billion recorded over the same period in 2024.
However, assets under management have increased by only 10% so far this year. This potentially means that, despite steady inflows, many investors have not seen meaningful gains once market performance is taken into account.
Selling activity was seen across most regions, particularly in the United States, where $460 million was withdrawn from digital asset products. Switzerland also recorded minor losses of $14.2 million. Additionally, Sweden, Canada, and Brazil shed $3.7 million, $2.9 million, and $1 million, respectively.
Germany was the prominent outlier, as it added $35.7 million over the same period. Hong Kong also settled for a modest $0.9 million. With $248 million recorded so far this month, Germany now leads in terms of regional totals amid recent market weakness.
