XRP extends the longest active ETF inflow streak in crypto as rival funds struggle for fresh cash

XRP funds led altcoin inflows in July, extending a four-month streak that increasingly separates them from most rival products.

The US-listed funds attracted $27.29 million during the month, nearly twice Solana’s $14.62 million intake, according to SoSoValue data. Chainlink followed with $4.54 million, while Hedera products added $3 million.

Bitcoin and Ethereum remained the dominant crypto fund categories, attracting $172 million and $365 million, respectively. Among products tracking assets outside the two market leaders, however, XRP finished July comfortably ahead.

XRP builds the steadiest demand as Solana and Hyperliquid gain ground

XRP funds have become the altcoin ETF market’s most consistent source of new capital, ranking first or second in monthly inflows since April and avoiding a single monthly outflow over that period.

Indeed, XRP funds attracted $81.59 million in April, $131.94 million in May, $59.46 million in June and $27.29 million in July. The four-month run has added more than $300 million and lifted cumulative inflows to roughly $1.5 billion, the largest total among altcoin products.

This run also gives XRP the longest active monthly inflow streak across the crypto funds tracked by SoSoValue this year.

However, that lead is becoming more competitive. Solana funds have accumulated about $1.15 billion since launch and returned to second place in July after a modest June outflow. Their scale suggests investor demand is beginning to extend beyond XRP rather than concentrating in a single altcoin.

Hyperliquid has emerged even faster. Its funds attracted about $293 million across May and June, briefly surpassing XRP in both months before recording its first outflow in July. The reversal slowed that momentum but did not erase one of the strongest launches in the market.

Together, XRP, Solana, and Hyperliquid are forming a distinct group beneath Bitcoin and Ethereum.

XRP stands out for the durability of its inflows, while Solana and Hyperliquid show that investors are also building meaningful exposure to a small number of emerging alternatives.

Crypto ETF product shelf is expanding faster than demand

Strong demand for XRP, Solana, and Hyperliquid contrasts with weak, sporadic flows across the rest of the altcoin fund market.

Several products spent most or all of July without attracting fresh capital. Avalanche and Polkadot recorded no monthly flows, while BNB has not registered a net inflow since June 11.

Their cumulative totals remain modest, ranging from about $1.45 million for BNB and $1.94 million for Polkadot to roughly $24 million for Avalanche.

A zero-flow day does not mean investors stopped trading the funds. It means creations and redemptions produced no net addition of capital. But the frequency of those days still reveals a market where new listings are expanding faster than the pool of committed buyers.

For context, Litecoin and Dogecoin each recorded flows on just two days during July, with withdrawals largely offsetting the limited money that entered. Dogecoin finished the month with about $526,000 of net outflows, while Litecoin was effectively flat.

Hedera stood out within that group, attracting $3 million across four positive sessions and lifting cumulative inflows to about $105 million.

Even so, the concentration of its monthly demand into only a few days shows how sporadic allocations remain outside the leading products.

The emerging structure is therefore becoming more selective. Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate the market, XRP and Solana have established a credible second tier, and Hyperliquid has shown that newer products can break through quickly.

Beneath them, a growing long tail of altcoin funds is struggling to convert regulatory access into sustained investment demand.
