XRP ETFs Record Inflows as Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds See Outflows

XRP exchange-traded funds posted positive net capital flows on Tuesday, September 9. This marked the first time a crypto ETF category attracted inflows during the current market correction. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana funds all recorded net outflows over the same period.

The broader crypto market extended its corrective move. Major digital assets showed slight declines in price. XRP traded at $1.42, down 0.98 percent from the previous day. Bitcoin traded at $78,590, down 0.06 percent.

Divergence in ETF Capital Flows

Investor behavior split sharply between asset classes. Demand for XRP exposure continued while demand for major altcoins and Bitcoin waned. This pattern suggests a rotation of capital within the crypto sector. Traders appear to favor specific high-beta assets over broad market exposure.

Data from GN markets/crypto indicates XRP funds were the sole positive performers. Bitcoin ETFs saw continued redemptions as prices hovered near the $78,000 level. Ethereum funds also lost capital, mirroring the trend in Solana products.

Market Context and Price Action

The crypto market entered a bearish phase in early September. XRP price action remained stable relative to peers despite the overall decline. The asset traded at $1.42, while Bitcoin settled at $78,590. Ethereum dropped 0.02 percent to $2,490.

Solana and other top-100 cryptocurrencies recorded losses between 0.60 percent and 0.98 percent. The divergence in ETF flows highlights a selective market. Investors are not exiting crypto entirely but are shifting positions. This rotation favors assets with perceived momentum or specific utility.
