XRP and SOL Investment Products Defy Crypto Collapse as Billions Flow in While Bitcoin Bleeds

While Bitcoin and Ethereum are struggling, XRP and Solana are quietly attracting billions.

Investor interest in XRP and SOL remained strong last week as the two assets recorded the highest inflows among crypto products. XRP attracted $70.2 million, while Solana added $7.5 million. This trend has continued since their ETFs launched in the US in mid-October, bringing total inflows to $1.14 billion for XRP and $1.34 billion for Solana.

These gains come despite broader negative sentiment in the crypto market.

Bitcoin and Ethereum lose

According to the Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report from CoinShares, Bitcoin and Ethereum moved in the opposite direction, with significant outflow. Bitcoin products lost $443 million last week, while Ethereum saw $59.5 million disappear. Since the ETF’s launch, Bitcoin and Ethereum have recorded $2.8 billion and $1.6 billion in outflows, respectively. Multi-asset crypto funds also fell by $27.2 million, although Chainlink attracted $2.1 million.

Zooming out, digital asset investment products remained under selling pressure last week, recording outflows of $446 million. This brings the total number of withdrawals since the sharp price drop on October 10 to $3.2 billion, as investor confidence has not yet fully recovered. While recent flows appear weak, year-to-date numbers tell a more balanced story. Total inflows for the year are $46.3 billion, close to the $48.7 billion recorded in the same period in 2024.

However, assets under management have increased by only 10% this year. This potentially means that despite steady inflows, many investors have not seen meaningful gains when market performance is taken into account.

There was sales activity in most regions, especially in the United States, where $460 million was withdrawn from digital asset products. Switzerland also recorded small losses of $14.2 million. Additionally, Sweden, Canada and Brazil lost $3.7 million, $2.9 million and $1 million respectively.

Germany was the prominent outlier, as it added $35.7 million over the same period. Hong Kong also settled for a modest $0.9 million. With $248 million recorded so far this month, Germany now leads in terms of regional totals amid recent market weakness.
