XRP exchange-traded funds pulled in $1.4 billion on Tuesday, making the token a rare bright spot as Bitcoin and Ethereum bled millions in outflows amid a broader capital flight.
A $1.4 billion day for XRP
The inflow hit on May 26, according to data tracked by multiple providers. That single-day number stands out in a week when most digital asset funds have seen net redemptions. XRP was the clear winner — no other major token came close to matching that level of fresh cash.
Bitcoin and Ethereum under pressure
While XRP surged, Bitcoin and Ethereum funds recorded steep multi-million dollar outflows on the same day. The withdrawals were part of a broader pullback from crypto markets, with investors rotating out of the two largest cryptocurrencies. The exact figures weren't immediately available, but the trend was consistent across fund issuers.
What the divergence tells us
The contrast is stark. XRP is drawing demand at a time when the rest of the market is heading for the exits. Whether this is a one-day blip or the start of a sustained shift in investor preference is unclear. What is clear: on May 26, XRP was the outlier in a market that otherwise bled capital.
