Investment products tied to cryptocurrencies, including XRP, posted their sharpest weekly outflows since mid-November 2025.
According to a new CoinShares report, digital asset investment products recorded $1.73 billion in outflows last week, with XRP accounting for a relatively small share compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Key Points
- Crypto investment products recorded outflows of more than $1.70 billion over the past week.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum led outflows, with XRP posting a modest capital flight of $18.2 million.
- XRP’s outflows coincided with record single-day exits from spot XRP ETFs.
- Despite the setback, XRP products still hold $89.9 million in month-to-date inflows.
XRP Records Outflows Alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum
Bearish sentiment remained entrenched across the broader crypto market as products linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP all recorded significant withdrawals. In total, outflows reached $1.73 billion, marking the largest weekly withdrawal since mid-November 2025.
Bitcoin led the decline with approximately $1.09 billion in outflows, followed by Ethereum at $630 million. XRP also followed the broader market trend, posting $18.2 million in outflows and ranking as the third-largest contributor behind Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Notably, this move coincided with reports that spot XRP ETFs recorded their largest single-day outflows since launch. On January 20, 2026, approximately $53.32 million exited spot XRP ETFs. Grayscale’s XRP ETF accounted for nearly all of the pressure, reporting $55.39 million in outflows, while Franklin’s XRP ETF partially offset the decline with a $2.07 million inflow.
While ETF products quickly reversed course and resumed attracting capital, the rebound was insufficient to offset the weekly outflows across XRP investment products. Despite the weekly exit, XRP investment products still boast around $89.9 million in month-to-date flows.
What This Means for XRP
Nonetheless, XRP’s outflows are part of a systemic market retreat driven by macroeconomic factors, particularly the U.S.-EU trade war.
Compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP’s outflows were relatively modest. This suggests that while investor sentiment turned defensive, capital flight from XRP has been more restrained.
Meanwhile, XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum were not the only cryptocurrencies that posted outflows last week. Multi-asset and Sui saw roughly $15.5 million and $6 million in outflows, respectively.
Solana, Chainlink, Short Bitcoin, and Litecoin Buck Trend
Interestingly, investment products focused on Solana, BNB, Chainlink, Short Bitcoin, and Litecoin bucked the trend. Specifically, Solana stood out as a rare exception, attracting $17.1 million in inflows.
BNB, Chainlink, Short Bitcoin, and Litecoin recorded inflows to the tune of $4.6 million, $3.8 million, $500,000, and $300,000, respectively.
Regionally Flows
Regionally, the United States was the epicenter of the sell-off, accounting for nearly US$1.8 billion in outflows. In contrast, investor behavior in some parts of Europe and Canada was positive.
Canada, Switzerland, and Germany registered inflows of $33.5 million, $32.5 million, and $19.1 million as investors viewed recent price weakness as an opportunity to build long exposure.
