I just noticed an interesting trend with XRP ETF. Last week, inflows reached $55.4 million — the highest in several months. Ripple coin is clearly attracting the attention of institutional investors, and the numbers confirm this. Accumulated investments in related products have already exceeded $1.5 billion, with more than 30 major institutions, including Goldman Sachs, having exposure through ETFs. Interestingly, these flows have remained steady despite the overall market volatility since October.

This makes one think that institutional players are making conscious decisions rather than chasing short-term fluctuations. JPMorgan previously predicted that XRP ETFs could attract between $4 billion and $8.4 billion in the first year. Current inflows are around $1.27 billion, so there is still room for growth toward the target figure. If the baseline scenario of $4 billion is reached, it would mean a threefold increase from the current level.

What really impresses is that capital outflows from Ripple coin in 2026 amounted to over $4 billion, but this is still much less than during previous bear markets. In 2022, outflows were twice as large. This indicates a relative resilience of the altcoin in the cycle. At this moment, the coin’s price is trading at $1.44. The question remains whether this resilience will hold if the market worsens further.
