XRP ETFs recorded their strongest monthly inflows of 2026 in May, drawing $131.94 million as Bitcoin and Ethereum products faced heavy withdrawals.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n Summary<\/span>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n XRP ETF products attracted $131.94 million in total net inflows in May, according<\/a> to SoSoValue data. The figure marked the best monthly performance for XRP ETFs so far this year.<\/p>\n The May total moved above April\u2019s inflow figure, which had stood near $81.59 million. March had brought more than $31 million in outflows, while February and January posted smaller net inflows.<\/p>\n The rebound came during a weak period for XRP\u2019s spot price. XRP retested lower yearly levels in May, but ETF demand stayed positive through most of the month.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The steady inflows show that regulated XRP products continued to attract capital even as the wider crypto market remained under pressure.<\/p>\n Bitcoin and Ethereum funds moved in the opposite direction during May. Bitcoin products recorded about $2.43 billion in monthly outflows, while Ethereum products saw around $540.88 million leave funds.<\/p>\n That gap placed XRP ahead of the two largest crypto assets by monthly fund flow performance. It also made XRP one of the few major crypto-linked ETF categories to show strong demand during the period.<\/p>\n The divergence continued in late May. XRP products added fresh capital while Bitcoin and Ether funds kept losing money across several trading sessions.<\/p>\n This shift did not mean XRP avoided market pressure. The token still traded weakly, but fund data showed that ETF buyers remained active.<\/p>\n Related reports show that XRP ETF demand had been building before the final May total. Earlier May data showed<\/a> XRP ETFs posting their strongest weekly inflow since late 2025.<\/p>\n The products also recorded a strong daily inflow in mid-May, with fresh capital entering while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were facing withdrawals.<\/p>\n As previously reported<\/a> by crypto.news, XRP investment products attracted $85.8 million over three weeks. During the same period, Bitcoin and Ethereum products posted much larger net outflows.<\/p>\n The May result builds on that trend. It gives XRP ETFs a stronger position in the 2026 fund flow race, even without a matching price breakout.<\/p>\n XRP\u2019s ETF performance comes as investors continue to watch regulation, fund access, and institutional adoption. XRP has drawn attention from traders looking for exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n The inflows also show that some investors still want altcoin products during market volatility. That demand has remained selective, with only a few assets attracting steady capital.<\/p>\n The key issue now is whether ETF demand can continue into June. XRP\u2019s price remains under pressure, and wider market conditions remain weak.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Ripple\u2019s native token traded at $1.30 at the time of writing, based<\/a> on crypto.news data.<\/p>\n\n
