XRP spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are continuing to attract inflows despite price declines, showing a relatively steady trend compared with bitcoin and ethereum spot ETFs.
On June 11, blockchain media outlet The Crypto Basic reported that Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said in a recent interview that XRP and Solana spot ETFs showed stronger-than-expected ability to hold up in a bear market.
Seyffart noted that the two products launched around late October 2025, when the crypto market was entering a downturn. The timing of the launch itself was unfavorable, but inflows continued. He pointed out that “XRP spot ETFs did not see the outflows that appeared in bitcoin or ethereum.”
Fund flows also supported that assessment. Based on Sosovalue tallies, XRP spot ETFs posted net inflows of $1.19 million over the most recent day. Cumulative net inflows since November 2025 reached about $1.43 billion.
Bitcoin spot ETFs and ethereum spot ETFs, the comparison group, have been weaker recently. Bitcoin spot ETFs rebounded strongly from late February to early May but have recently shown signs of renewed weakness. Net outflows over the past 30 days exceeded $2.1 billion. Ethereum spot ETFs also failed to build momentum in inflows as outflows continued, with monthly net outflows rising to $167 million.
By contrast, XRP and Solana spot ETFs saw smooth fund flows despite large volatility in their underlying asset prices. Seyffart said the nature of ETF investors created that difference. He explained that ETF investors generally allocate only 2 to 5 percent of their portfolios to digital assets and show greater tolerance for price volatility.
ETF fund flows do not simply reflect the price trend of the underlying asset. In particular, spot ETFs can provide a route to access a specific cryptocurrency without setting up a wallet or using an exchange, meaning some investors may see a price correction as an opportunity for staggered buying or long-term inclusion. The continued inflows into XRP spot ETFs suggest investors are focusing on expanded access through regulated products rather than short-term price moves.
Still, inflows do not immediately guarantee a price rebound. When overall liquidity in the spot market is weak and appetite for risk assets shrinks, money flowing into ETFs may find it difficult to offset all downward price pressure. As a result, XRP spot ETFs’ steady trend can be seen as a sign that investor sentiment has not completely broken, but an assessment has emerged that whether prices actually recover depends on the broader direction of the crypto market and a rebound in demand for XRP itself.
XRP spot ETFs are therefore maintaining inflows even under continued price pressure. With cumulative net inflows surpassing $1.4 billion, market attention is focusing on the view that XRP spot ETFs are showing stronger-than-expected resilience in the current market downturn.
