XRP ETF Surges 1,220% in 7 Days...US Dominates 86%

Funds flowing into XRP-based investment products have surged within a week. Amid growing expectations for an improved regulatory environment in the US, net inflows into XRP ETFs jumped from $3 million last week to $39.6 million, an increase of 1,220%.

U.Today reported on May 11 (local time), citing CoinShares' latest weekly report, that XRP ETFs have emerged as one of the main beneficiaries of recent changes in the US regulatory climate. CoinShares analyst James Butterfill explained that this surge in XRP inflows is not merely a speculative move but a direct response from institutional investors to progress surrounding the US cryptocurrency market structure bill.

In the US, on May 1, Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks introduced a final compromise bill to regulate stablecoin yields. On May 4, bill drafters strongly resisted lobbying attempts by the banking sector to weaken or block key provisions. U.Today reported that a final vote by the US Senate Banking Committee is expected this week.

Butterfill assessed that the firm stance of lawmakers restored market confidence that legal clarity for altcoins could arrive in the near future, and the results were immediately reflected in the actions of large funds. The increased inflows into XRP ETFs are interpreted as a case where expectations of easing regulatory uncertainty directly translated into investment products for a specific asset.

Regional trends have also shifted. Two weeks ago, interest in XRP ETFs was primarily driven by European and Canadian investors, but over the past seven days, US investors have led the trend. The US accounted for $34.21 million of the weekly global XRP inflows, representing approximately 86% of the total.

The contributions from other regions, including traditionally active Germany and Switzerland, totaled $5.39 million. Although the US held an overwhelming proportion, U.Today reported that moderate and stable fund inflows continued in other regions as well.

Assets under management for XRP-based products reached $2.564 billion amidst this expanded inflow of funds. Cumulative net inflows since early 2025 are close to $191 million. However, despite the large ETF inflows, the price of XRP remains confined to the range of $1.41 to $1.50, and profit-taking by large holders is raised as a potential resistance factor.

While Bitcoin attempts to break past $80,000, absorbing $706 million out of the total weekly cryptocurrency inflow of $858 million, XRP is forming its own distinct trend. U.Today assessed this as a signal that large funds may already be reflecting the positive outcome of the Senate vote in prices and fund flows.
