XRP defied the market downturn last week by drawing $3.4 million in inflows, a surprising move amid heavy losses across digital asset investment products. According to CoinShares, the broader market recorded $795 million in outflows, marking the third consecutive week of declining capital.
Investor sentiment remained negative across nearly all regions and providers. The United States led the outflows with $763 million pulled from crypto exchange-traded products, contributing significantly to the global trend.
Bitcoin and other major assets faced heavy sell-offs, while only a few small altcoins remained neutral or slightly positive. However, XRP emerged as the top-performing non-Bitcoin token regarding net inflows, setting itself apart in a declining market environment.

XRP Emerges as the Unlikely Leader Amid Broad Outflows
Since early February, the digital asset sector has seen persistent withdrawals totaling $7.2 billion. These outflows have nearly erased all gains recorded earlier in the year, reducing year-to-date flows to just $165 million.
XRP’s performance is particularly notable in this context, as most altcoins failed to attract fresh capital. The asset avoided the trend and led the way, signaling selective investor interest despite ongoing regulatory and market pressures.
The recent market decline affected all regions and sectors of the market. Major providers and diverse jurisdictions demonstrated risk-averse behavior through investor capital pullouts across the board.
Despite the persistent outflows, the total assets under management in crypto investment products rose slightly toward the end of the week. The asset rise came from recovering digital asset values following the temporary suspension of tariffs rather than from new investments.
The total value of assets managed by crypto ETPs reached $130 billion during this current period. Capital flight was sustained at this time while investor optimism was faltering, so this development offered brief relief.
XRP’s divergence from the trend has sparked interest, as it managed to gain attention in a market otherwise gripped by sell pressure. The inflows into XRP suggest that specific market segments may still view the asset as a strategic hold or a hedge against volatility.
Conclusion
XRP’s ability to attract heavy inflows in a week, which was defined by mass withdrawals, highlights a rare moment of investor confidence. While broader market conditions remain unstable, XRP’s performance presents an unusual shift that market observers are now closely watching.
