XRP Holds Steady As Institutional Inflows Defy Broader Market Outflows

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is trading marginally higher Tuesday, up 0.05% to $2.10. While the token has slipped 2.75% over the last seven days and 12.21% over the past month, investor interest appears to be stabilizing—especially among institutions betting on XRP’s relative strength against Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

XRP Defies Retail Sell-Off With Strong Inflows

XRP investment products recorded $37.7 million in net inflows last week, according to CoinShares—placing the token just $1 million shy of Ethereum’s year-to-date total and positioning it as one of the best-performing altcoins among institutional traders.

The resilience comes as stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales figures prompted $146 million in broader crypto outflows last week. The U.S. market, in particular, saw net outflows of $71 million, while Ethereum and Bitcoin products posted losses of $27 million and $6 million, respectively.
