XRP News Today: Cryptocurrency Funds See $3.7 Billion Inflows, Bitcoin Dominates

Cryptocurrency funds experienced a significant surge in inflows during the week of July 5–11, totaling $3.7 billion. This marked the second-largest weekly inflow on record, just shy of the peak value of $3.85 billion recorded in early December 2024. The reporting period also marked the thirteenth consecutive week of net inflows, with cumulative inflows reaching $21.8 billion. This figure is nearly on par with the year-to-date total of $22.7 billion, indicating a strong and sustained interest in cryptocurrency investments.

The value of assets under management (AUM) surpassed the $200 billion mark for the first time, setting a new record at $211 billion. This milestone underscores the growing confidence and investment in the cryptocurrency market. The weekly trading volume in exchange-traded products reached $29 billion, double the average for this year, further highlighting the robust activity in the sector.

Bitcoin-based investment products continued to dominate investor interest, attracting $2.7 billion during the reporting period. For the first time, the value of Bitcoin-based investment products reached 54% of the aggregate value of gold ETPs, signaling a shift in investor preference towards digital assets. Ethereum-based funds also saw a twelfth straight week of inflows, totaling $990 million, the fourth largest in history. This consistent inflow into Ethereum funds reflects the growing interest in decentralized finance and smart contract platforms.

XRP-based products led in weekly outflows with $104 million, while Solana funds recorded inflows of $92.6 million. The outflows from XRP-based products may be attributed to regulatory uncertainties and market sentiment, while the inflows into Solana funds indicate investor confidence in the platform's potential and technological advancements.

By jurisdiction, the U.S. led with $3.7 billion in inflows, demonstrating the region's dominant role in the global cryptocurrency market. Germany recorded an outflow of $85.7 million, while investors in Switzerland and Canada invested $65.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively. These figures highlight the varying levels of investor sentiment and regulatory environments across different regions.

Analysts attribute the surge in inflows to growing institutional interest and optimism about regulatory clarity. Market participants are closely watching upcoming policy developments, which could further influence fund flows and investor sentiment. The increasing institutional involvement and regulatory clarity are expected to drive continued growth and stability in the cryptocurrency market.
