Ethereum Abandoned? XRP Surges! 💸🔥

by

The latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, published by CoinShares, reveals a most curious development: esteemed investors, once enamored with Ethereum, now turn their eyes to XRP with the fervor of a romantic novel’s climax. Alas, Ethereum, once the darling of the digital realm, now languishes in the shadows, its inflows a mere whisper compared to its former glory. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Ethereum Inflows Lose Momentum

Ethereum’s position in the hearts of institutional investors has waned most lamentably of late. A four-week stretch of outflows in November, a most unremarkable performance, has left many sighing. Yet, amidst the broader market’s recovery, total digital asset inflows reached a modest $716 million last week-a triumph, to be sure, though Ethereum captured but a fraction of this bounty. 📉

With a paltry $39.1 million in weekly inflows, Ethereum’s allure seems to have faded, much like a fleeting romance. The month-to-date figure, a mere $41.2 million, trails behind even the humblest of its peers, such as Chainlink, a most unassuming contender. 🙃

XRP Pulls In Massive Institutional Demand

Behold! XRP, that most enigmatic of assets, claimed the second-highest inflow position last week, drawing a staggering $245 million-more than sixfold Ethereum’s meager sum. This surge, a most delightful spectacle, has seen XRP’s total inflows for 2025 soar to over $3.1 billion, a figure that makes even the most stoic investor blush. 📈

CoinShares’ report suggests this is no mere fling but a steadfast affection. Since the advent of Spot XRP ETFs, inflows have skyrocketed, a most promising trend. One might say the institutions have found their true love. 💖

Meanwhile, Bitcoin, the ever-reliable suitor, remained the dominant force, with $352 million in inflows. Yet, the true tale lies in the sequence behind it. Capital once destined for Ethereum now flows to XRP and other favored assets, such as Chainlink, which posted a record $52.8 million-half its year-to-date total. 🎉

Geographically, the US, Germany, and Canada led the charge, with the US receiving the lion’s share of $483 million. Germany, Canada, and Switzerland followed, their contributions a most commendable effort. 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇨🇦
