CoinShares weekly fund flow data showed a sharp split across major digital assets: Bitcoin posted $1.438 billion in outflows and Ethereum lost $257.3 million, taking the combined withdrawals to nearly $1.7 billion. XRP moved the other way, bringing in a $20.3 million net inflow during the same period.
Bitcoin and Ethereum absorb the bulk of weekly selling
The figures point to concentrated selling in large-cap products. Bitcoin accounted for the biggest weekly redemption total, while Ethereum also saw substantial withdrawals. The report said this did not amount to a broad exit from digital assets. Instead, the pattern looked closer to short-term position trimming after recent volatility, with investors taking profits and cutting exposure to assets seen as more sensitive to macro conditions. That distinction matters. Capital left the largest coins, but it did not leave the sector evenly.
CoinShares data was cited as evidence of rotation rather than a market-wide retreat. Selling pressure stayed centered on the biggest assets, which was interpreted as portfolio rebalancing instead of a deeper structural break in demand.
XRP stands out with positive weekly, monthly and year-to-date flows
XRP was one of the few major assets to record net positive demand, with $20.3 million in weekly inflows. The article framed XRP as closely tied to the XRP Ledger and to cross-border payment use cases, which continue to shape its place in the digital asset market.
The broader flow picture was stronger than the weekly number alone. Monthly inflows into XRP reached $159.5 million, and year-to-date net inflows rose to $311 million. Those totals suggest that demand for XRP has not been confined to a single week of positioning. The report described the trend as a sign of more durable institutional interest rather than a temporary response from traders.
Flow divergence points to selective institutional allocation
The market split has been read by some observers as a sign of selective institutional confidence. Instead of pulling money from all digital assets at once, investors appear to be shifting capital toward tokens with different regulatory profiles, specific utility, or distinct return expectations. In that reading, XRP is not simply moving with the wider market. It reflects a deliberate allocation choice.
The article also noted that CoinShares publishes weekly flow data for digital asset investment products, and such data is often watched for early clues about institutional behavior before those trends become obvious in price action.
Sentiment data and on-chain signals keep XRP in focus
Another data provider mentioned in the report, Santiment Intelligence, said recent market discussion has not centered only on price. Narratives around XRP, Stellar, and Tether have also been shaping sentiment, showing that attention in the market can shift on drivers beyond short-term trading moves.
On a longer timeline, the article said XRP is marking 14 years since its early development stage. It also pointed to on-chain indicators showing that whale-related XRP outflows from Binance have been almost nonexistent recently, a pattern historically linked to lower distribution pressure. With continued inflows and relatively modest selling, XRP has stayed near the front of market attention while larger coins continue to face persistent withdrawals.
