Ethereum has once again overtaken Bitcoin in the competition for institutional attention, with Spot Ethereum ETFs recording larger inflows than their Bitcoin counterparts in the past few days. This trend might be building up another chapter in the growing debate over whether Ethereum is on track to start outperforming Bitcoin in terms of price action, which might lead to another altcoin season this cycle. Ethereum ETF Inflows Surpass Bitcoin Once Again Data from ETF trackers show that Ethereum funds have been posting stronger inflows than Bitcoin ETFs across several sessions in recent days. According to data from Farside Investors, US-based Spot Ethereum ETFs captured around $307.2 million in net inflows on August 27, bringing the total cummulative netflow to $13.64 billion.

By contrast, Spot Bitcoin ETFs based in the US managed to attract just $81.4 million in net inflows. The ETF inflows in the past 24 hours are not an isolated occurrence. Ethereum has now outpaced Bitcoin inflows across multiple consecutive trading days to give a glimpse into institutional sentiment toward the second-largest cryptocurrency. For example, August 26 was highlighted by a $455 million inflow into Spot Ethereum ETFs, compared to $88.1 million into Spot Bitcoin ETFs. The previous day (August 25) saw a similar pattern, with $443.9 million directed into Ethereum funds versus $219.1 million into Bitcoin. The surge in Ethereum inflows can be traced back to the middle of July, when Spot Ethereum ETFs first surpassed Bitcoin’s daily inflows. During that period, ETH funds brought in $603 million on July 17, compared with Bitcoin’s $522 million, to establish a precedent that appears to be repeating. Will Ethereum Outperform Bitcoin This Cycle? The recent trend of Ethereum ETFs outperforming their Spot Bitcoin ETFs is sure to resonate well with many Ethereum proponents, who are awaiting a full-blown altcoin season led by the leading altcoin. However, the important question is whether Ethereum’s recent momentum can translate into long-term outperformance of Bitcoin.

Ethereum has been trading with stronger upside pressure and less downside pressure, which allowed it to reach a new all-time high of $4,946 on August 24. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,616 after testing an intraday high near $4,658 and a session low of $4,473. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is steady but showing less upward momentum. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $113,100 after trading between roughly $110,465 and $113,332 on the day, which keeps its price movement tilted more towards the downside.

According to Forbes, XRP’s next five years will hinge on whether it can turn legal clarity into real payment use and steady liquidity. Related Reading: Could Pi Network Land On Coinbase? Hackathon Winner Thinks So The token is trading at $3, up 4% in the last seven days. It has a market cap of about $176 billion. That puts XRP back among the top three crypto assets by capitalization. Regulatory Clarity Gives XRP A Running Start In July 2023 a US court found that programmatic sales of XRP on public exchanges were not securities, while some institutional sales remained in question. The matter moved again in August 2025 when both the SEC and Ripple dismissed appeals, preserving that split ruling. That step removed a long-standing legal overhang that had discouraged many institutional players from moving forward in the US. Market Snapshot And On-Chain Tools Reports show recent price peaks vary by source — $3.84 on some trackers and $3.65 on others — but liquidity metrics have improved. The XRP Ledger settles transactions in three to five seconds and typically charges under $0.01 in fees. In March 2024 the ledger added an on-chain automated market maker via the XLS-30 amendment. Payments And Remittances Could Drive Demand Global remittances to low- and middle-income countries reached over $680 billion in 2024, with average fees near 6%, while the UN target is 3%, Forbes said. Ripple already runs production corridors with partners such as SBI Remit in Japan and Onafriq in Africa, connecting payments to the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and 27 African countries. If treasurers and regulators in those corridors accept crypto rails, XRP could win steady, utility-driven flows rather than pure speculation. Products And New Channels For Investors Ripple launched RLUSD, a dollar-backed stablecoin, in 2025 with reserves custodied at BNY Mellon. Multiple issuers have filed S-1 and 19b-4 forms for US spot XRP products. Those filings could create a fresh demand channel if approvals follow. According to Finder’s expert panel in July 2025, the average XRP price is expected to be $2.80 by the end of 2025 and $5.25 by 2030 — projections that depend on adoption, liquidity, and market-access steps such as ETFs. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For Triple Surge Vs. Bitcoin – Details Where XRP Could Stand In Five Years According to Forbes, if corridor volume shifts from fiat and stablecoins into XRP, and if custody and ETF channels open, demand could grow in a sustained way. In that scenario, price upside would be supported by both real payment flows and passive investment. If those pieces do not align — if stablecoins dominate corridors, if CBDCs gain traction, or if execution issues persist — XRP may stay widely traded but see limited real-world settlement use.
