Franklin’s XRPZ Gains Ground With Strong Inflows

Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ pulled in the highest inflow for the week at $21.76 million. This new cash injection brought its total ETF haul to $252.31 million. The strong inflow gave the product momentum in an increasingly competitive field.

Institutional activity focused on performance and efficiency, which elevated XRPZ’s profile. The week’s data confirmed investor preference for lower fees and ease of execution. “Money was not evenly spread, it picked winners,” SoSoValue stated in its market brief.

With volume up, XRPZ positioned itself to compete more aggressively. Higher flows could lead to more XRP spot market buying. The ETF’s rising share in the market reflects how fast sentiment can shift among issuers.

Bitwise XRP Sees Consistent Strength

Bitwise’s XRP ETF attracted $17.27 million this week. This added to its existing base, taking cumulative inflows to $264.99 million. It ended the week just ahead of Franklin on total inflow.

Buyers continued to show confidence in the product’s liquidity and fee structure. As XRP approached the $2 mark, ETF activity increased. The price movement aligned with fresh demand through institutional channels.

Bitwise remained focused on maintaining strong daily trading volumes. These flows fueled underlying spot market demand. ETF performance now plays a direct role in real-time XRP price action.

Canary’s XRPC Still Leads in Size Despite Outflows

Canary’s XRPC saw an outflow of $1.18 million over the week. Despite that, it maintained the largest total asset base at $349.24 million. It also kept the highest cumulative inflow at $383.94 million.

The product experienced a pullback even as XRP rallied. Traders shifted allocations, favoring issuers with stronger weekly flows. Liquidity and daily volumes became deciding factors.

XRPC’s asset size showed its dominance over time. But issuer preference can now change week to week. Investors are selecting based on flexibility and trading cost.

XRP ETF Volume Spikes With Price Rally

XRP ETF shares worth $27.51 million traded in a single day this week. Multiple products recorded around 8% gains in that session. The rally indicated a synchronized buying response.

The moves pointed to active strategies rather than passive exposure. Buyers reacted to price, not long-term positioning. The session reflected quick institutional shifts.

As flows increase, spot market purchases surge. This amplifies price movement on strong days. Higher ETF ownership magnifies daily upside when demand spikes.

Allocators continued selecting ETFs based on cost, speed, and access. Share creations and redemptions drove shifts in capital. Faster volume growth turned attention to outperforming issuers.

Product competition remains fluid across the XRP ETF space. One issuer’s gain now means another’s loss. Stronger daily flows pushed some funds ahead in exposure race.

More inflows require real XRP purchases. These transactions impact the spot market quickly. The feedback loop tightens between ETFs and XRP price.
