XRP Beats Bitcoin on ETF Flows by 600% Amid Quantum Breakout
XRP spot ETFs have significantly outperformed Bitcoin ETFs in recent inflows, achieving up to 600% higher weekly net flows—such as $64 million versus Bitcoin's outflows of $589 million—amid a rapid buildup to over $1 billion in assets since their mid-November 2025 launch. This "quantum breakout" refers to XRP's accelerated institutional adoption, crossing $800 million in just 13 days (second-fastest after Bitcoin), with 30+ consecutive inflow days contrasting Bitcoin and Ethereum's volatility.
Inflow Comparison
XRP ETFs like Canary Capital's XRPC ($243M debut) and Bitwise's led with $824M-$975M cumulative by early December, surpassing Solana's $650M after 25 days and defying Bitcoin's $57.7B yearly total with recent outflows. No outflow days for XRP signal steady demand for its payments utility, while BTC faces macro drags.
Key Drivers
Institutional flows reflect XRP's decoupling from BTC weakness, fueled by ETF momentum, legislative tailwinds like the Market Structure Bill, and ODL volume hitting $15B quietly. Price holds bullish bias near $1.86 (down 0.09% daily), eyeing $2.5-$3 targets on Fed cuts and ETF supply absorption.
2026 Outlook
XRP's smaller $104B market cap offers 10x upside potential over BTC's stability, with analysts forecasting outperformance via ETF AUM growth to $1.18B+ and payment layer dominance. Binance Square echoes this as diversification from BTC dips, aligning with whale patterns.
