XRP Tops Weekly Fund Flows, Beating Bitcoin and Ethereum

CoinMarketCap data show XRP attracted $12.57 million in net inflows for the week ended May 23, while Bitcoin and Ethereum remained under pressure with net outflows of $1.15 billion and $209.32 million, respectively. The report said XRP posted net inflows on every trading day of the week, making it the strongest of the three assets on weekly fund flows. It was also the second time this month that XRP has led Bitcoin and Ethereum in weekly capital movement. Weekly figures point to a clear split in crypto allocations: XRP continues to draw steady inflows as Bitcoin and Ethereum extend consecutive outflows. Against a broadly cautious market backdrop, the pattern suggests institutional interest in XRP is holding up. On pricing, XRP spent most of the week below $1.40 and is hovering near $1.36. Despite muted price action, funding rates have not softened to the same degree. CoinMarketCap noted that the recent slowdown appears to have weighed more on retail demand, while institutional demand remains resilient, though inflows are still relatively modest. Market attention is now on whether continued institutional buying can translate into stronger price momentum. For now, XRP has clearly outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum on short-term fund flows.
