Bitcoin’s 2026 Slide Deepens: BTC Drops to $65K as $70K Level Becomes ‘Demand Vacuum’

Most crypto funds have been losing investors lately. XRP hasn&#8217;t gotten that 
memo. While Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds have faced weeks of 
steady outflows, XRP-linked products have quietly been doing something 
different — attracting fresh money even on the market&#8217;s worst days. Related

Thinks So XRP Takes Half Of All New Altcoin ETF Money According to Canary 
Capital CEO Steven McClurg, XRP is capturing roughly 50% of all new capital 
flowing into altcoin ETFs. That&#8217;s a commanding share of a market that includes 
several competing assets. Solana comes in second, drawing around 30% of fresh 
inflows, while Hedera accounts for the remaining 20%. McClurg made the 
comments publicly, pointing to XRP&#8217;s staying power at a time when investor 
confidence across the broader crypto market has been shaky at best. The 
numbers behind that claim are hard to dismiss. Reports show that so far this 
month, XRP ETFs have recorded negative flow days on just three occasions. 
Bitcoin ETFs, by comparison, have posted outflows on nine separate trading 
sessions during the same period. That gap tells a story about where some 
investors are choosing to put — or keep — their money right now. 🚨 BREAKING:

Xaif Crypto🇮🇳|🇺🇸 (@Xaif_Crypto) February 25, 2026 Last week offered perhaps 
the clearest snapshot of this divide. Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products 
together shed $250 million in outflows. XRP, meanwhile, pulled in $3.5 
million. Modest in size, but striking given the conditions surrounding it. 
Steady Inflows Since Launch Reports say XRP ETFs got off to a strong start 
when the first spot product was listed on Nasdaq in mid-November last year. 
From that point through January 7, 2026, inflows came in consistently without 
a single day of net outflows — an unbroken streak that lasted nearly two 
months. That first outflow day in January was an exception to an otherwise 
clean run. Since then, XRP funds have largely held their footing while 
competing products struggled. The cumulative result of that run: $1.24 billion 
in total net inflows, with assets under management now sitting at a little 
over $1 billion. Among the individual products, the Canary XRP ETF leads with 
$280 million in net assets. Bitwise&#8217;s XRP ETF trails narrowly at $278 million 
— a gap thin enough that the rankings could easily shift with a few strong 
trading days. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have faced sustained selling pressure 
for months. New buyers have been hard to come by. XRP funds stepping into that 
environment and continuing to attract capital — rather than lose it — is a 
departure from what most of the market has been experiencing. Related Reading:

Investors Are Looking Reports from Canary Capital suggest the pattern reflects 
something more than short-term trading behavior. Investors appear to be 
reallocating toward assets they see as having specific utility, with XRP&#8217;s 
established role in cross-border payments drawing attention from both 
institutional and retail buyers. Featured image from Vecteezy, chart from
