XRP defies the trend to attract $45.8 million in capital! A signal of market funds rotating into altcoins

2026-01-12 16:22:56

【Crypto World】The year 2026 kicks off with XRP performing brilliantly. Last week, institutional funds saw a net inflow of $45.8 million, a surge of 428% week-over-week (compared to only $10.7 million the previous week)—a remarkable achievement amid the overall crypto market downturn.

Looking at the broader market? It’s disastrous. Crypto investment products experienced a net outflow of $454 million last week, the largest weekly decline since mid-2023. Bitcoin and Ethereum each saw withdrawals of $404.7 million and $116.1 million, mainly due to weakening expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts.

But that’s not the whole story. Alongside XRP’s rally against the headwinds, Solana and Sui also attracted capital. This signals a shift: big funds are rotating. Mainstream coins are under pressure, while some altcoins have become new favorites for investors. The market is searching for new opportunities, and XRP’s performance just shows that institutions are not bearish on this sector.

XRP-3,22%

BTC-1,37%

ETH-1,18%

SOL-2,94%

Large funds are playing the rotation game; this wave of XRP really has something special.

The rhetoric of capital rotation, huh, it all depends on the underlying logic. As for the recent net inflow of XRP, I want to see if there's an audit report to follow up... Otherwise, it's just a typical chase-the-high game.

Wow, XRP this time really defied the trend and attracted funds. What tricks are the institutions playing? BTC and ETH are being hammered like this, yet funds are flowing into XRP. It's obvious they're looking for the next hot spot. Rotation is coming, are mainstream coins about to cool down? Funds are so smart, they've already sniffed out the opportunity in altcoins. No wonder SOL and Sui are also riding the hype. 428% month-over-month... this number is truly outrageous, a paradise for gamblers. Is it institutions deploying or the market gambling? Who can tell for sure? XRP really caught the right wave this time, but I just don't know how long it can fly.

Wow, XRP is really impressive this time. While Bitcoin and Ethereum were being dumped crazily, it was still attracting funds against the trend. Institutions really have good vision.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are being heavily hammered, while XRP is actually attracting funds? This round of movement is quite intense. What game are the institutions playing?

Mainstream coins are crashing, but XRP is still attracting funds. I really can't hold it anymore... Institutions are playing this round of rotation brilliantly.

Another game of capital rotation, mainstream coins being exploited, XRP has now become the new favorite? Theoretically, it should be feasible, but in practice, it's just gamblers changing tables.
