XRP Leads Inflows as Bitcoin and Ethereum See Nearly $500M Outflows

Published at 2025-12-31 01:45:08

The CoinShares Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report (Dec. 30) highlights sharply divergent fund flows: XRP was the top inflow destination while Bitcoin and Ethereum together suffered nearly $500 million in outflows. The data suggests investors are rebalancing away from the two largest cryptocurrencies into specific alternatives, a move that stands out during the current period of elevated volatility and macro uncertainty.

For traders and portfolio managers, the rotation is meaningful because sustained inflows into XRP could support liquidity and create asymmetric upside pressure relative to BTC and ETH, which saw capital exits. Market watchers should monitor subsequent weekly reports and on-chain indicators to see if this is a short-lived repositioning or the start of a broader shift toward select altcoins.
