XRP ETFs Surge as Bitcoin ETFs Plummet in May
1 Jun
Summary
- XRP ETFs saw $131.94 million in inflows during May.
- Bitcoin ETFs experienced $2.43 billion in outflows last month.
- Ethereum ETFs lost $540 million amid outflows in May.
In May, XRP spot ETFs recorded substantial inflows, totaling $131.94 million without a single day of negative net flow. These funds have accumulated over $1.42 billion since their launch in November 2025. This performance stands in sharp contrast to Bitcoin spot ETFs, which experienced a challenging month.
Bitcoin spot ETFs shed $2.43 billion throughout May. They concluded the month with their longest outflow streak on record, enduring 10 consecutive trading days of withdrawals ending May 29, surpassing the previous record of eight days. Ethereum spot ETFs also faced significant investor departures, losing approximately $540 million.
Remarkably, Bitcoin ETFs saw only one positive inflow day in the latter half of May, on May 14, attracting $131 million. This single-day gain for Bitcoin was nearly equivalent to XRP ETFs' entire monthly inflow, highlighting the dramatic disparity in institutional capital movement between the two cryptocurrencies during May.
