XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have pulled in more money than their Solana ETF counterparts even though SOL has largely outperformed XRP on price during much of the year. The difference, according to market expert Sam Daodu, appears to come down to what\u2019s happening on the regulatory and institutional side.<\/p>\n
Daodu highlighted <\/a>that XRP ETFs have gathered $1.39 billion in cumulative inflows since their November 2025 launch. Solana ETFs, launched in October, have accumulated $1.12 billion over the same overall timeframe.\u00a0<\/p>\n In other words, despite XRP entering a drawdown from its summer 2025 high and despite SOL\u2019s relative price strength, XRP\u2019s ETF flows have still landed ahead, with the inflow gap persisting at the cumulative level.<\/p>\n The pattern of ETF demand for XRP also looks particularly consistent. Daodu noted that XRP ETFs logged a 13-day streak of positive net flows<\/a> in early December 2025, a run that came in ahead of Solana\u2019s cumulative inflow total of $618.59 million within those 13 trading days.\u00a0<\/p>\n Looking at more recent flow data, XRP reported $81.6 million in April inflows alongside a 14-day inflow streak. By the end of April, that put XRP\u2019s year-to-date inflows at roughly $124 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n Solana\u2019s April inflows were far lower\u2014$38.69 million, which is less than half of XRP\u2019s April figure. Daodu also pointed out that Solana\u2019s monthly inflows fell from $419 million in November 2025 to $38.69 million in April, suggesting a weaker stretch that only appears to be improving now.<\/p>\n That recovery is showing up in May. Solana has posted more than $99 million after 19 trading days, while XRP is close behind with roughly $95 million in the same period.\u00a0<\/p>\n Even so, the larger story remains that XRP has maintained a steadier inflow profile relative to Solana, and Daodu believes there is a catalyst <\/a>supporting that steadiness\u2014one that Solana does not have.<\/p>\nAlpenglow Vs CLARITY Act<\/h2>\n
