A recent post from crypto enthusiast X Finance Bull highlighted what he described as a measurable shift in institutional behaviour across the digital asset market.
He pointed to the continued accumulation of XRP during price dips, contrasting it with declining exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum. His remarks referenced data showing that newly launched XRP exchange-traded funds have been receiving consistent inflows since their debut.
These inflows, according to current market figures, have been notably strong compared with their Bitcoin and Ethereum counterparts, suggesting a rotation of capital toward assets seen as having regulatory clarity and defined utility within payment infrastructure.
Bearish on $XRP? 🚨🚨🚨 Institutions are literally buying the dips you fear!
Institutional capital is quietly rotating out of Bitcoin and Ethereum…and flowing straight into XRP
Week after week, XRP ETFs are pulling $200M+ in fresh inflows.
BTC and ETH? Bleeding.

ETF Demand and Capital Movement
Current figures place cumulative XRP ETF inflows between $874 million and $906 million within the first few weeks of trading, with daily movements reinforcing the trend. On December 3 alone, XRP ETFs recorded more than $50 million in fresh inflows, pushing their total to over $874 million.
Other short-term comparisons further illustrate this divergence. Over the recent 3-day period, XRP ETFs accumulated roughly $207 million in new capital, compared with approximately $52 million for Bitcoin ETFs and $51 million for Ethereum ETFs.
On December 2, XRP ETFs recorded approximately $67 million in inflows, while Bitcoin ETFs received nearly $58 million, and Ethereum ETFs saw close to $10 million in outflows.
X Finance Bull referred to this pace of accumulation as evidence of an inflection stage, noting that XRP is absorbing institutional capital more rapidly than the larger market typically anticipates.
Community Questions on Acquisition Channels
Under the post, an X user, BristolSociety3, raised a question about the methods used by ETF providers to acquire large amounts of XRP.
He asked why they were sourcing supply primarily through over-the-counter desks rather than through open-market purchases, noting that OTC accumulation prevents buying activity from immediately influencing the asset’s price. The user suggested that investors might expect ETF issuers to contribute to upward price movement rather than avoid it.

Clarification from X Finance Bull
X Finance Bull responded by stating that ETF desks prioritize securing adequate inventory over short-term price action. His point was that their accumulation phase is operational rather than speculative, and is therefore conducted in ways that do not disrupt market prices.
Once inventory is established, he said, any significant market move would occur in the open market as normal trading volume interacts with constrained supply. His view is that the recent inflow data provides a clearer indication of institutional intent than day-to-day price volatility.
The added inflow figures and accumulation behaviour contribute to a more detailed understanding of how institutional positioning around XRP is developing.
The numbers referenced in the market provide measurable context to X Finance Bull’s post, reinforcing his view that the patterns emerging in ETF activity signal a continued shift in investor allocation within the digital asset sector.
