Ripple (XRP) ETFs Post Best Week in 3 Months as Investors Return
TL;DR
Ripple's XRP ETFs experienced their best week in three months, seeing significant inflows after a period of poor performance. This rebound coincided with reduced tensions in the Middle East, though new uncertainties may arise soon.
Key points
- XRP ETFs had their best week in three months
- Significant inflows followed reduced Middle East tensions
- March saw over $31 million in outflows from XRP ETFs
After weeks of dwindling performance, no-inflow days, and investor uncertainty, the spot ETFs tracking the popular cross-border token saw impressive inflows over the past five trading days.
This coincided with the de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East, but the return of uncertainty from conflicting statements over the weekend could turn the tables next week.
Best Week in 3 Months
CryptoPotato has repeatedly reported the spot XRP ETFs’ rather intriguing performance, which began with impressive numbers. The first $1 billion was attracted in about a month, while the initial nine weeks had no single day of more net outflows than inflows.
However, the trend rapidly changed in January and February and worsened in March as the war in the Middle East broke out and quickly intensified. In fact, March was the first month in the red for the funds, with over $31 million leaving the financial vehicles in total. April began on the wrong foot as well, with multiple days of no-reportable activity and some minor outflows, mirroring the March performance to a large extent.
Investors showed the first signs of reactivation on April 10, pouring over $9 million into the funds. This trend continued in the following business week, which ended with $55.39 million in net inflows – the single-best weekly performance since the one that ended on January 16. April 15 stands out as the highest-inflow day ($17.11 million), setting a 10-week record.
As such, the cumulative total net inflows have neared the all-time high ($1.28 billion) at $1.27 billion as of Friday’s close, according to data from SoSoValue.
