Key Takeaways
- • XRP spot ETFs recorded $7.18 million in net outflows during the week of July 6-10, 2026, snapping a two-month consecutive inflow streak and marking a sharp divergence from broader crypto market recovery.
- • Bitwise XRP ETF alone accounted for $7.29 million in withdrawals, with the majority of selling concentrated on Wednesday, July 8, while competing issuers (Canary, Franklin, Grayscale) recorded zero net movement and 21Shares contributed only $107,400 in offsetting inflows.
- • Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reversed multi-week losing streaks during the same period, attracting $197 million and $84.42 million respectively, indicating institutional capital rotation away from XRP despite broader market recovery.
- • Total net assets in all seven approved US XRP ETFs remain near $1 billion ($996 million as of reporting), suggesting temporary weakness rather than systemic deterioration in the XRP institutional investment vehicle.
- • The divergence highlights selective institutional appetite within crypto assets, with altcoins including Solana ($930,400 inflows) and broader altcoin products (HYPE-based funds: $10.36 million) maintaining positive momentum while XRP faced unexpected headwinds.
Summary
US spot XRP exchange-traded funds experienced a significant reversal during the trading week ending July 10, 2026, recording $7.18 million in net outflows and terminating a two-month streak of consecutive inflows. The outflow marks a notable departure from the broader cryptocurrency ETF market, which experienced a pronounced recovery during the same period as institutional investors rotated into discounted Bitcoin and Ethereum positions.
The weakness in XRP ETF flows was concentrated in a single fund. Bitwise's XRP ETF sustained $7.29 million in withdrawals, with the heaviest selling pressure occurring on Wednesday, July 8. Other major XRP fund issuers—Canary, Franklin Templeton, and Grayscale—recorded no net capital movement during the week. The 21Shares TOXR fund attempted modest mitigation with $107,400 in inflows, insufficient to offset the Bitwise decline.
The contrast with competing cryptocurrency assets was substantial. Bitcoin ETFs ended an eight-week losing streak and attracted $197 million in inflows, while Ethereum funds similarly reversed a two-month downturn with $84.42 million in net purchases. Alternative assets maintained positive momentum: Solana ETFs recorded $930,400 in inflows and HYPE-based altcoin products attracted $10.36 million. This selective institutional buying pattern suggests that capital deployment during market recoveries is increasingly divergent across digital asset classes.
Despite the weekly outflow, the underlying XRP ETF ecosystem remains structurally intact. Cumulative assets across all seven approved US XRP funds stood near $1 billion at $996 million, indicating the recent outflow represents a tactical pause rather than a systemic loss of confidence in XRP as an institutional investment vehicle. The sustainability of this asset base level will depend on whether the two-month inflow trend can resume or whether XRP continues to trade sideways as competing assets capture institutional capital during market bounces.
