Bullish Chatter Meets ETF Demand: XRP Sentiment Surges as Solana Funds Pull In Cash

Retail traders stayed positive on XRP this week even as the token traded near the US$2 level (about AU$3.06), according to crypto analytics firm Santiment.

Santiment said the week saw the seventh-highest count of bullish XRP comments this year across major crypto social channels it tracks, including Telegram, Discord, subreddits and X. 

XRP traded between roughly US$1.99 (AU$3.04) and US$2.17 (AU$3.32) in the last seven days and was around US$2.03 (AU$3.11) on Saturday, CoinGecko data showed.

Flows into spot XRP ETFs also remained positive, with SoSoValue data showing about US$20.1 million (AU$30.75 million) of net inflows on Friday, extending the streak to 19 straight days. Total inflows were close to US$974.5 million (AU$1.49 billion), with assets under management at about US$1.18 billion (AU$1.81 billion).

Solana ETFs Takes In Fresh Money

Solana ETFs also took in fresh money despite SOL’s weaker price. Farside Investors’ data showed a seven-day inflow streak, led by about US$16.6 million (AU$25.40 million) on Tuesday. Total net inflows were about US$674 million (AU$1.03 billion).

Solana spot ETFs launched in July and expanded in October of this year, with some analysts pointing to the products as a sign of continued interest from traditional finance investors even during the wider crypto market pullback.

Solana has seen a lot of institutional support and interest. Recently, JP Morgan used the Solana network to carry out a US$50 million (AU$77.1 million) tokenised commercial paper transaction for Galaxy Digital.
