Most crypto funds have been losing investors lately. XRP hasn’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’s worst days. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin The Poor Man’s Hedge Against Inflation? Coinbase CEO 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’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’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: Canary Capital CEO just dropped something the market isn’t ready for.$XRP quietly absorbing capital while BTC & ETH see outflows. Even on red days. Even when Bitcoin ETFs bled. ???? https://t.co/MrCwbmUnPC pic.twitter.com/xEAMaMm80e — 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’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.

Solana (SOL) could be facing one of its most critical technical tests in recent months, with crypto trader Jussy warning that a breakdown at a key level could trigger a collapse toward prices not seen since previous bear market cycles. With the cryptocurrency trading above this level and forming two bearish patterns across multiple timeframes, the analyst has set two major crash targets for SOL. However, only one of these patterns could lead to a staggering 50% decline to $30 once the price breaks.  Solana Bear Flag Pattern Signals Crash To $30 On Tuesday, February 24, Jussy took to X, warning crypto investors and traders that Solana could be heading toward a dramatic price collapse. The analyst notes that the leading smart contract token is currently at a critical support level of $76.57 on the price chart that could define its next bearish move.  Related Reading: Wondering What’s Going On With Solana? Projects Are Taking Massive Hit As Price Plunges Looking at the daily chart, Jussy has identified a Bear Flag formation that has been developing since early February 2026. The pattern shows price consolidating within a descending channel after a steep sell-off from above $112, underscoring Solana’s continued downtrend over the past months.  Should the $76.57 support level give way, the analyst projects a measured move from the Bear Flag pattern to $37.88, representing a potential decline of more than 50% from current levels. Jussy also said in his analysis that Solana is on a path to $30, suggesting the altcoin could fall even further to that level.  Notably, the analyst’s bearish forecast arrives amid Solana’s recent price struggles, as broader market volatility and shifting investor sentiment weigh heavily on the sector. With the crypto bear market already in full swing, SOL has been trading sideways, mirroring the weak performance across major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.  CoinMarketCap’s data also shows that Solana’s price has fallen by more than 38% since the start of the year. While it was trending downward just last week, the altcoin has since staged a slight recovery from the $76 level, highlighted in Jussy’s chart analysis. As of writing, SOL is trading above $86, up more than 13% from the critical support level. Should upward momentum persist, it could signal a potential deviation from the analyst’s bearish $30 forecast.  Triple Top Pattern Signals Lesser Decline To $60 For his second bearish forecast, Jussy highlighted that Solana has formed a Triple Top pattern on its four-hour chart. This pattern is characterized by three successive failed attempts to push higher, with each one printing at a lower peak than the last. The structure, visible across the January and February price action, suggests buyers have been steadily losing momentum after each recovery attempt.  Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Solana Prices Are Still Crashing Hard If the $76.57 support level breaks, Jussy sees a measured move from the Triple Top pattern down to $61.73 as Solana’s next target. A drop to this level would represent a roughly 19% crash from the support area.  Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
