XRP ETFs Crush BTC, ETH & SOL-Ripple’s Price Still Hiccups

by

In a world where geopolitics jiggles like a drunken accordion player and the U.S. government looks more like a prop in a Mel Brooks movie than a policy machine, investors treat spot crypto ETFs with more drama than a high-stakes farce-lots of shouting, a few pratfalls, and plenty of popcorn.

While Bitcoin fans have been draining their wallets, XRP ETFs are doing the mambo, pulling in money and outpacing their bigger cousins with a robust daily net inflow yesterday.

XRP Outmatches Competition

Data from SoSoValue shows spot Bitcoin ETFs have spent weeks mostly red on the board. February 2 was a rare spark, with more than $560 million entering the funds. But the prior business week saw more than $1.4 billion flee the scene. February 3 was another melodrama day, with $272 million being pulled out.

Given the cryptocurrency’s recent price dip, ETF holders’ positions have fallen below their average cost basis for accumulated BTC for the first time in 18 months.

For the first time in over 18 months, Bitcoin $BTC has dipped below the ETF cost basis at $82,600.

The other crypto ETFs tracking larger-cap alts, though, were in the green. The spot Ethereum ETFs attracted $14.06 million; the SOL funds saw a modest net inflow of $1.24 million; and the XRP products outperformed the rest with a net gain of $19.46 million. In total, the Ripple ETFs saw more daily inflows than all other crypto funds combined yesterday.

In fact, this was the XRP ETFs’ best day since January 5, when net inflows reached $46.10 million. The cumulative net inflows into the Ripple funds are up to $1.20 billion, which is still a tad below the $1.26 peak recorded before the January 29 crash.

XRP’s Volatility

Yesterday was another rollicking, volatile trading day in the cryptocurrency circus. Perhaps the growing tension in the Middle East and the partial reopening of the US government, or perhaps ETF inflows and outflows-BTC dipped to a yearly low of $73,000 before rebounding to over $76,000 as of press time.

The altcoins sang their own chorus. Interestingly, XRP dropped to $1.53, then climbed to $1.63 before settling at $1.60. That puts the token down about 17% for the week and 25% for the month. It was mercilessly rejected at the $2.40 ceiling reached on January 6 and has not found the right punchline since.
