Bitcoin, XRP Lead $644M Crypto Inflows After Outflow Streak

The cryptocurrency market experienced a net inflow of $644 million, largely driven by Bitcoin and XRP. This inflow ended a five-week streak of outflows from cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) globally.

Bitcoin and XRP showed significant engagement, driving recent market gains. This inflow signals a shift in investor sentiment towards cryptocurrencies, reflecting a potential increase in demand and confidence in digital assets.

The inflows into crypto ETPs impacted market sentiment positively, with increases in trading volumes and asset prices. Increased investor interest may influence positive momentum in cryptocurrency markets.

Bitcoin’s market cap stands at $1.74 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $22 billion, reflecting a 142% increase. XRP’s market cap is $143 billion, with a volume of $2.98 billion, marking a 71% change. Data from CoinMarketCap shows price increases over recent days.

James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, stated, “Following 5 consecutive weeks of outflows totaling US$6.4bn, we saw inflows last week totaling US$644m, the largest since early January when the SEC approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US.” – CoinShares’ official report

Market increases in ETP inflows have happened previously, often linked to regulatory changes or emerging bullish trends. The recent Bitcoin and XRP-led inflow suggests parallels to past occurrences when investor sentiment saw resurging confidence.

Analysts suggest the current trend could lead to sustained price increases, emphasizing historical data showing similar shifts often result in prolonged market growth. Factors such as inflation fears and institutional investments contribute to this sentiment.
