XRP flow and wallet-growth dashboard showing positive XRP inflows beside Bitcoin and Ethereum fund outflows.

XRP Pulls In $42 Million in Weekly Inflows While Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds Bleed

XRP-linked investment products pulled in roughly $42 million in net inflows over the past week, according to CoinDesk. The latest daily session added $8.88 million to XRP funds, following $18.52 million on May 14 and $10.87 million on May 15.

Bitcoin and Ethereum products moved in the opposite direction. BTC ETFs lost $100.9 million in the same session, and Ether products shed $32.6 million.

XRP held near $1.37 at the time of reporting and remains ranked inside the Top 10 by market capitalization on CoinGecko.

The fund-flow divergence suggests investors were selective last week, moving capital into specific altcoin products rather than buying crypto broadly. XRP captured the largest share of altcoin inflows in the period.

On the network side, on-chain analytics firm Santiment reported that roughly 4,300 new XRP wallets were created in a single 24-hour window. That was the fourth-largest daily wallet-creation spike on the XRP Ledger so far in 2026.

Santiment described network growth as “among the top leading signals to identify reversals.” New wallet creation can indicate fresh participants entering the network, which analysts watch alongside volume and fund flows for early signs of momentum shifts.

CoinDesk noted, however, that the longer-term network-growth trend for XRP still looks weaker than what the ledger saw in late 2025. One strong day of wallet creation is a useful data point, not confirmation of a sustained adoption curve.

According to CoinDesk: CoinDesk’s XRP market report ties together the two useful pieces of evidence: capital moving into XRP-linked products and a sharp one-day rise in newly created XRP wallets. The article said XRP held near $1.37, XRP-linked products attracted about $42 million in net inflows over the past week, and the latest session showed $8.88 million of XRP inflows while Bitcoin and Ether products lost assets.

CoinDesk also cited Santiment data showing about 4,300 new XRP wallets in 24 hours, the fourth-largest daily wallet-creation spike of 2026. The same report warned that the longer-term network-growth chart still looked weaker than late 2025, so the article should present this as a rotation signal, not a confirmed long-term adoption trend.

CoinDesk reported on May 22, 2026 that XRP held near $1.37 while fresh ETF and on-chain data suggested some investors may be rotating into XRP. CoinDesk reported that XRP-linked products attracted about $42 million in net inflows over the past week.

CoinGlass data cited by CoinDesk showed XRP-linked funds pulled in $8.88 million in the latest session, after $18.52 million on May 14 and $10.87 million on May 15.

The combination of positive fund flows and a wallet spike happening at the same time is worth paying attention to. Capital entering through regulated products and new addresses appearing on-chain are two independent signals pointing in the same direction.

Whether this holds into next week depends on whether fresh wallet creation continues or fades back to baseline. For now, XRP is one of the few large-cap crypto assets where both the product-flow data and the on-chain data lined up green on the same day.
