XRP ETFs recorded steady inflows as the token held near $1.37 during Thursday trading hours in Hong Kong. Data shows continued capital entering XRP-linked products while bitcoin and ether funds faced sustained outflows. On-chain metrics also showed a surge in wallet creation, adding to short-term market signals.

XRP ETFs Post Steady Inflows as Other Crypto Funds Decline

XRP ETFs attracted $8.88 million in inflows during the latest trading session, according to CoinGlass data. This extended a streak of positive flows over recent days.

Funds linked to XRP recorded $18.52 million in inflows on May 14 and $10.87 million on May 15. Weekly totals reached about $42 million in net inflows.

At the same time, bitcoin ETFs posted $100.9 million in outflows in the latest session. This followed earlier redemptions of $648.6 million, $331.1 million, and $290.4 million.

Ether-linked products also remained under pressure during the same period. These funds recorded $32.6 million in outflows in the most recent daily data.

Bitcoin traded near $77,400 while XRP held around $1.37 during midday Hong Kong trading. Ether continued to trade below recent levels as selling pressure persisted.

The divergence in flows points to selective capital allocation across crypto investment products. Data shows investors shifting exposure toward alternative tokens like XRP.

Wallet Growth Spikes but Broader Network Trend Remains Weak

On-chain data showed a rise in XRP wallet activity during the same period. Blockchain analytics firm Santiment reported 4,300 new wallets created in 24 hours.

This marked the fourth-largest daily increase in wallet creation for XRP this year. Analysts often link such spikes to increased user participation.

Santiment stated that “fresh wallet creation can sometimes point to new network participation.” However, the firm noted the signal remains unclear without sustained growth.

Historical data shows XRP network growth has declined since late 2025. The latest spike appears as a short-term increase rather than a consistent trend.

Wallet creation data alone does not confirm long-term adoption patterns. Analysts often combine such metrics with capital flows for clearer signals. The latest figures showed XRP gaining both inflows and user activity in a short period. However, broader network metrics have not yet reflected sustained expansion.
