XRP ETF Inflows Outpace Bitcoin and Ethereum Amid Market Volatility

The cryptocurrency market has seen significant changes in investor sentiment over the past few months. According to Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg, investors are increasingly turning to XRP ETFs as a safe-haven asset.

In a recent interview, McClurg revealed that XRP-linked products have attracted fresh capital even during periods of sharp market declines. This trend is particularly evident in the first quarter of 2025, where XRP ETFs recorded consistent inflows until January 7th. During this time, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced sustained redemptions.

The data suggests that XRP has emerged as a primary beneficiary of capital rotation in the crypto ETF market. McClurg claims that XRP-linked products have captured about 50% of fresh inflows into altcoin ETFs, significantly outpacing Solana and Hedera which account for roughly 30% and 20%, respectively.

Notably, McClurg emphasized that XRP ETFs have attracted fresh capital even during sharp market sell-offs. On several trading days this year, when Bitcoin ETFs recorded heavy outflows, XRP funds still posted net inflows. This divergence underscores the relative strength of XRP in the market.
