XRP (XRP) exchange-traded funds have pulled in roughly $270 million more than rival Solana (SOL) products since launch, even as SOL has outperformed on price.
XRP Fund Inflows Top $1.39B
Market analyst Sam Daodu flagged the divergence in a breakdown published this week. XRP ETFs have absorbed $1.39 billion in cumulative inflows since their November 2025 debut, while Solana funds launched a month earlier have gathered $1.12 billion. The roughly $270 million gap has held even as XRP slipped well off its summer 2025 high.
SOL has logged stronger token performance across much of the year, yet ETF capital keeps flowing the other way.
XRP funds posted $81.6 million in April inflows and ran a 14-day positive streak that month.
Year-to-date inflows reached about $124 million by the end of April. Solana products took in $38.69 million across the same stretch, less than half the XRP figure, after monthly inflows tumbled from $419 million in November 2025.
May numbers show a tighter race. Solana has pulled in more than $99 million over 19 trading days, with XRP close behind at roughly $95 million.

CLARITY Act Versus Alpenglow
Daodu argued the structural difference is regulatory, not technical. The CLARITY Act would set defined rules for XRP custody, collateral treatment, and balance-sheet exposure, a compliance template that pension funds and regulated asset managers need before deploying capital at scale.
