Bitcoin spot ETFs registered $318 million in net outflows during the week of February 2-6, 2026. Ethereum ETFs performed worse, with $166 million in redemptions. Conversely, XRP spot ETFs saw $39 million in net weekly inflows.

Franklin’s XRPZ led with $20.50 million in inflows. Bitwise’s XRP fund drew $20.01 million, while Canary’s XRPC received $3.44 million in consistent support.

This performance signals a reversal for XRP ETFs. These products debuted in mid-November 2025, with Canary Capital launching the first U.S. ETF offering direct exposure to the coin. Within a month of trading, the funds saw total inflows surpass $1.14 billion.

On February 6, U.S. spot XRP ETFs alone recorded $15.16 million in daily net inflows. Bitwise’s fund led the day with $8.29 million, followed by Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ at $3.94 million.

During the same period, the broader crypto market saw $187 million in outflows from investment products. Bitcoin faced $264.4 million in weekly outflows.

Year-to-date figures reflect a similar trend. XRP leads all digital assets with $109 million in inflows, while Bitcoin has seen $984 million in outflows year-to-date.

Regionally, Germany saw the highest crypto fund inflows at $87.1 million, with Switzerland next at $30.1 million.

Crypto ETP trading volumes reached a record $63.1 billion last week, exceeding the prior high of $56.4 billion set in October 2025.

Ripple Expands Regulatory Reach

Ripple obtained a license from Dubai’s Financial Services Authority in mid-January to offer regulated crypto stablecoin payments in the Dubai International Financial Centre. This approval positions Ripple as one of only three stablecoin providers permitted to operate in this major financial hub.

The Dubai license adds to Ripple’s expanding portfolio of regulatory approvals across jurisdictions. Ripple’s payment networks settle transactions using XRP, mandating users to hold and utilize the token for transfer processing.

The XRP Ledger processes transactions in three to five seconds. Low transaction fees on the chain make it well-suited for high-volume institutional applications such as trade settlement.

Last week, the XRP Ledger adopted the PermissionedDEX amendment. This upgrade has passed the consensus threshold and is now pending activation.

As of the latest data, XRP’s price fell 2.8% over 24 hours to $1.39. Daily trading volume declined 3% to $3.4 billion. On February 7, the coin surged 26% to an intraday high of $1.54 before stabilizing in the $1.51-$1.53 range.
