XRP has emerged as a strong performer during the DeepSeek saga, attracting $2.1 million in weekly inflows. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) suffered combined outflows of $541 million, raising questions about whether XRP is becoming a safer choice for investors.
XRP Outperforms Other Crypto Inflows
According to James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, XRP has recorded impressive weekly inflows of $2.1 million. This brings its monthly inflows to a striking $92.6 million.
Meanwhile, XRP’s performance has given an impressive Year-to-date return with an inflow of 93 million. In comparison, Bitcoin and Ethereum have faced collective outflows of $541 million, with BTC losing $442 million and ETH seeing $99.2 million in outflows.
Other cryptocurrencies such as Solana (SOL) and Litecoin (LTC) also faced outflows of $2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) and Chainlink (LINK) recorded modest inflows of $0.3 million and $0.1 million.
Despite this, XRP stands out as the top-performing digital asset, demonstrating its ability to attract investor confidence even during a market downturn.
Market Sentiments Remain Bullish
Despite Bitcoin and Ethereum lagging, the overall sentiment in the crypto market remains optimistic. High-profile moves by companies like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet have contributed to this bullish outlook.
MicroStrategy recently added over 10,000 BTC to its holdings, while Metaplanet announced raising $745 million to invest in Bitcoin.
