The figure marked the best monthly performance for XRP ETFs so far this year.<\/p>\n<p>The May total moved above April\u2019s inflow figure, which had stood near $81.59 million. March had brought more than $31 million in outflows, while February and January posted smaller net inflows.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XRP Spot ETF Net Inflow, source: SoSoValue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The rebound came during a weak period for XRP\u2019s spot price. XRP retested lower yearly levels in May, but ETF demand stayed positive through most of the month.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The steady inflows show that regulated XRP products continued to attract capital even as the wider crypto market remained under pressure.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bitcoin and Ethereum funds lose ground<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin and Ethereum funds moved in the opposite direction during May. Bitcoin products recorded about $2.43 billion in monthly outflows, while Ethereum products saw around $540.88 million leave funds.<\/p>\n<p>That gap placed XRP ahead of the two largest crypto assets by monthly fund flow performance. It also made XRP one of the few major crypto-linked ETF categories to show strong demand during the period.<\/p>\n<p>The divergence continued in late May. XRP products added fresh capital while Bitcoin and Ether funds kept losing money across several trading sessions.<\/p>\n<p>This shift did not mean XRP avoided market pressure. The token still traded weakly, but fund data showed that ETF buyers remained active.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>May flows add to recent demand trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Related reports show that XRP ETF demand had been building before the final May total. Earlier May data showed XRP ETFs posting their strongest weekly inflow since late 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The products also recorded a strong daily inflow in mid-May, with fresh capital entering while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were facing withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p>As previously reported by crypto.news, XRP investment products attracted $85.8 million over three weeks. During the same period, Bitcoin and Ethereum products posted much larger net outflows.<\/p>\n<p>The May result builds on that trend. It gives XRP ETFs a stronger position in the 2026 fund flow race, even without a matching price breakout.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>XRP demand remains tied to market structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>XRP\u2019s ETF performance comes as investors continue to watch regulation, fund access, and institutional adoption. XRP has drawn attention from traders looking for exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>The inflows also show that some investors still want altcoin products during market volatility. That demand has remained selective, with only a few assets attracting steady capital.<\/p>\n<p>The key issue now is whether ETF demand can continue into June. XRP\u2019s price remains under pressure, and wider market conditions remain weak.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ripple\u2019s native token traded at $1.30 at the time of writing, based on crypto.news data.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1780318165_468_XRP-ETFs-beat-Bitcoin-and-Ethereum-funds-with-13194M-May.webp.webp\" alt=\"Ripple (XRP) price chart, source: crypto.news\" class=\"wp-image-14464232\"  ><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ripple (XRP) price chart, source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP ETFs recorded their strongest monthly inflows of 2026 in May, drawing $131.94 million as Bitcoin and Ethereum products faced heavy withdrawals.
