XRP funds receive $240,000 in inflows from institutional investors

Despite a week-on-week decline in XRP price, institutional investors poured $240,000 in capital in XRP funds over the past week. Weekly inflows to crypto funds totaled $199 million, the largest volume since July 2022.

CoinShares analysts explained that after nearly nine consecutive weeks of outflows, inflow to XRP funds gathered steam. Bitcoin emerged as the largest single beneficiary of the inflows at $187 million representing 94% of $199 million. The inflow to altcoins with smaller market capitalization is minor when compared to XRP. 

Fund inflows by asset 

The Year-To-Date (YTD) flows in XRP funds is $6 million. These funds have $50 million worth of Assets Under Management (AUM). The inflow to XRP funds is considered significant since the altcoin's price declined week-on-week. On June 19, XRP price was $0.4942 and it declined to below $0.4900 as of Monday. 

Despite the decline in XRP price, the sentiment among institutional investors is largely bullish and driven by the likelihood of a rally in the altcoin. To find out more, check this out.
