XRP and Bitcoin Lead $2.2 Billion Crypto Inflows Surge

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed countless trends and shifts that have reshaped the investment landscape. The latest developments in the cryptocurrency market, as outlined in CoinShares’ weekly report, are no exception.


In simple terms, Bitcoin and Ripple (XRP) are two well-known digital currencies that have recently caught attention in CoinShares’ recent weekly analysis focusing on investments flowing into crypto-related products.

Based on recent figures, there has been a record $2.2 billion invested into crypto assets over the last week, marking the highest inflow since July. Remarkably, these investments have primarily occurred within the U.S., whereas other nations are experiencing outflows in this sector. CoinShares expert James Butterfill links this trend to the approaching political events in the U.S. in November, which seem to be influencing the flow of funds into cryptocurrency-related investment products as well.

Indeed, it’s worth noting that Bitcoin, along with its different versions, holds a significant position at events, accounting for approximately 97% of the enormous sums flowing into various cryptocurrencies.

Concurrently, ETFs focusing on XRP have likewise experienced influxes of funds, albeit in a relatively smaller quantity compared to other assets. Noteworthy is the consistent weekly flow of funds into these ETFs over an extended period, indicating that this positive trend persists and resources are continually being directed towards XRP.

Consequently, approximately $26 million has been invested in XRP Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) this year so far, and several key players in the ETP sector are discussing the possibility of introducing an XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Bitwise has applied for regulatory clearance to develop such a product, implying that there is demand for XRP ETFs but the supply is scarce. This underscores the need to swiftly create them.

The future development of this tale is still uncertain, but considering the patterns indicated by the recent data, it wouldn’t come as a shock if an XRP ETF enters the cryptocurrency investment scene alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
