Bloomberg ETF Analyst Explains Why XRP ETFs Are Holding Up Better Despite Price Declines

$XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to attract investor capital even as $XRP trades lower.

The trend has caught the attention of Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart. Speaking in a recent interview, Seyffart said $XRP and Solana ETFs have shown surprising resilience. That is especially notable given that both products launched during a difficult period for the crypto market.

$XRP ETFs Continue to Draw Inflows

According to Seyffart, spot $XRP and Solana ETFs launched near the end of October, when the crypto market was entering a bear market. Despite those conditions, both products have continued to attract assets.

“The $XRP ETFs have taken in money year to date, and they haven’t seen outflows in the way that we’ve seen for Bitcoin or Ethereum,” Seyffart said.

Data from SoSoValue supports that view. $XRP ETFs recorded $1.19 million in net inflows over the past day. Since November 2025, cumulative net inflows have reached roughly $1.43 billion.

The inflows have continued even as $XRP’s price weakened. $XRP is currently trading at $1.12, down about 1% over the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Face Greater Pressure

Seyffart contrasted $XRP’s performance with that of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

Bitcoin ETFs rebounded strongly between late February and early May. However, they have recently shown signs of weakness again. Specifically, Bitcoin ETFs have recorded outflows of over $2.10 billion in the last 30 days.

Similarly, Ethereum ETFs have struggled to build momentum and have continued to record rounds of outflows. Monthly outflows have now reached $167 million.

Meanwhile, $XRP and Solana ETFs have been far more stable. Most of the capital they attracted has remained invested despite significant volatility in the underlying assets, Seyffart noted.

Why Investors Are Staying Invested

Seyffart believes the difference comes down to how ETF investors approach crypto exposure. Unlike many crypto-native traders, ETF investors typically allocate only a small portion of their portfolios to digital assets. As a result, sharp price declines do not always trigger panic selling.

He said many ETF holders view crypto as a 2% to 5% portfolio allocation rather than a core investment. They also tend to enter the market with a higher tolerance for volatility.

As an example, Seyffart noted that if an asset falls 60% but retains nearly all of the inflows it attracted since launch, that would still be considered a strong outcome.

His comments suggest that $XRP ETF investors are taking a longer-term view. That approach has helped funds maintain positive asset flows despite ongoing price pressure.

With cumulative inflows now above $1.4 billion, $XRP ETFs is weathering the current market downturn better than many expected.
