Institutional investors are beginning to pull capital out of XRP after a month 
of steady inflows, raising new questions about whether confidence in the 
digital asset is weakening. Lately, XRP has experienced significant 
volatility, sending its price crashing below $1.4. If this downtrend continues 
alongside capital outflows, it would not be surprising if market participants 
begin to wonder whether now may be the right time to sell their bags to avoid 
deeper losses. XRP Records Outflows As Other Digital Assets Attract Capital 
XRP currently stands apart from the rest of the crypto market, and not in a 
good way. According to a CoinShares digital asset fund flows weekly report, 
XRP recorded substantial outflows of $30.3 million last week. The decline 
stands in contrast to the broader digital asset investment market, which 
continued to attract new money during the same period. Related Reading: Buying 
XRP At These Prices Is Like Buying Bitcoin At $200 Across all digital asset 
investment products, CoinShares reports that total inflows had jumped to $619 
million. Early in the week, the market also showed strong demand, with $1.44 
billion flowing into crypto funds during the first three days. However, the 
trend reversed toward the end of the week, with investors withdrawing $829 
million on Thursday and Friday. According to CoinShares analysts, the negative 
shift in sentiment came as oil prices rose, complicating inflation 
expectations. This occurred even though US payroll data came in weaker than 
expected, a development that would normally support risk assets like 
cryptocurrencies, but failed to do so. Investors Become More Selective About 
Crypto Despite the late-week reversal, the total inflows show that 
institutional interest in digital assets has remained relatively strong, 
especially amid ongoing geopolitical tensions involving the US, Israel, and 
Iran. Still, the distribution of those flows shows that investors are becoming 
more selective about capital allocation, with XRP notably absent from the list 
of assets attracting new institutional money. Related Reading: XRP Starts New 
Week With Bullish Confirmation, But This Level Is A Problem Instead, funds are 
concentrated on larger assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, leaving 
XRP outside the current focus of institutional demand. CoinShares reports that 
Bitcoin attracted the vast majority of new capital, with $521 million flowing 
into related investment products. At the same time, $11.4 million moved into 
short Bitcoin products, reflecting a divided outlook among investors. Notably, 
Ethereum recorded $88.5 million in inflows, while Solana brought in $14.6 
million. Smaller allocations were also directed toward Uniswap and Chainlink. 
Against this backdrop, XRP was the only major digital asset to experience 
significant outflows. The recent withdrawals could signal that institutions 
are rotating capital from XRP into assets with stronger narratives or higher 
expected returns. For investors, this shift could raise questions about 
whether it is time to sell. Although institutional outflows do not 
automatically signal a price decline, they can indicate weakening confidence 
among large investors. If these outflows continue in the coming weeks, it 
could be a sign of caution ahead. Featured image from Pxfuel, chart from

Blockchain payments giant Ripple has initiated a share buyback program that 
positions the company at a substantial valuation of $50 billion. Ripple 
Revives Share Buyback Effort According to a Wednesday report from Bloomberg, 
Ripple plans to repurchase up to $750 million in shares from both investors 
and employees. The plan is set to run through April, as disclosed by sources 
familiar with the situation. This new buyback effort follows a previous 
attempt in September, when Ripple aimed to buy back $1 billion worth of 
shares. However, that initiative fell short, as the company&#8217;s participation 
rate was notably low compared to earlier rounds of tender offers. Related

2026 During that attempt, Ripple had valued the company at $40 billion but 
struggled to attract interest from current shareholders, suggesting that many 
were reluctant to part with their stakes in what they believed to be a 
promising venture. Despite the recent buyback news, the blockchain payment 
company has consistently maintained that it has no plans to take Ripple public 
in the United States. Meanwhile, a growing number of crypto firms, including 
giants such as Circle (CRCL) and Gemini (GME), have launched their own initial 
public offerings (IPOs) in the US over the past year, amid a notable shift 
toward a pro-crypto environment among regulators. XRP Price Sees Minor 
Recovery In connection with the buyback announcement, XRP, Ripple&#8217;s associated 
digital asset, experienced a slight rebound, reaching approximately $1.39 at 
the time of writing. Related Reading: Top Analyst Suggests Solana May Surpass
