XRP Tops Weekly Crypto Inflows Despite Market Volatility

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-04-22Última atualização em 2025-04-22

Global crypto investment products attracted $6 million in net inflows during the last week even though investors remain cautious because of market conditions, according to CoinShares’s data. XRP-based investment products delivered the most notable weekly performance by absorbing $37.7 million in funds.

The available data shows that market activity is starting to grow despite the mixed feelings among professionals. The week’s early optimism was abruptly dashed when U.S. retail sales shocked investors and took $146 million out of the market.

While maintaining attention on the underlying recovery tendencies in motion, James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, described this market shift via the prism of “mixed investor sentiment.”

The XRP-based investment products countered the general market trends by attracting $37.7 million worth of investments since the beginning of the year. XRP’s market value declined by one percent during the time frame even as investors poured fresh funds into XRP-based products.

XRP-based investment products outperformed both their Bitcoin and Ethereum counterparts. It achieved its market success through its advanced liquidity capacity and new leveraged investment products, according to research by Kaiko. Professional optimism about XRP’s U.S. spot ETF approval potential keeps increasing because experts believe this approval will enhance its digital asset market position strongly.

The Ethereum investment products experienced declining demand as funds resulted in $26.7 million in outflows, while Bitcoin products faced $6 million in outflows worldwide. Short Bitcoin positions experienced a continuous weekly decline for seven straight weeks throughout this year while losing $36 million from their total assets under management.

The geographical preference of investors became evident through recent slow patterns. Regional investments during this period showed Switzerland obtained $43.7 million, then Germany received $22.3 million, and Canada secured $9.4 million.

U.S. fund managers acted differently from typical global patterns by showing $71 million in net capital outflow despite their positions as the market’s biggest player due to economic uncertainties linked to Trump-era tariffs policies. 

The modest numbers show how the digital asset investment field is changing due to XRP’s performance and the European market emergence as a prospective leader. The Crypto market stands at the threshold of an extensive long-term recovery based on current investment tendencies.

Collateral Dollars: How Does a 'Second-Layer Dollar' Above Stablecoins Form?

Collateral Dollars: How Does a "Second Layer of Dollars" Form on Top of Stablecoins? Most assume stablecoins replicate Eurodollar functions, expanding the offshore dollar system. However, stablecoins primarily replace specific functions like operational dollar balances for settlement. They do not inherently create new dollar credit; they substitute existing claims. The key question is: what happens when financial intermediaries use stablecoins as collateral to create a new layer of dollar-denominated claims? This "collateral dollar" channel operates through secured lending, not direct money creation. A money-like event only occurs when a liability issued against the controlled stablecoin is funded, rolled over, or accepted at near-par value by another balance sheet. The discount (haircut) prices the gap between "effective control over the token" and "reliable convertibility to bank dollars." Elasticity stems not from the stablecoin itself but from the liability issued against it and the willingness of third-party balance sheets to treat that liability as a near-par asset. Compared to the traditional Eurodollar system—where elasticity originates from bank deposit creation—the stablecoin collateral chain is structurally different. Eurodollar deposits are credit-expansive from inception. Stablecoins are initially substitutive; elasticity emerges later if an intermediary's liability against them gains monetary acceptance. Stablecoins disrupt specific tiers of the offshore dollar system, mainly replacing operational settlement balances. They do not replace the need for full dollar balance-sheet capacity (credit lines, hedging, maturity transformation). For systemic impact, the second-layer liability must pass three tests: transferability, funding capacity, and monetary acceptance (being fundable or held at par by others). Pressure transmission also differs. In the Eurodollar system, stress moves up a hierarchy of claims. In a stablecoin collateral chain, the second-layer liability can lose its money-like status well before the underlying stablecoin faces a run, often triggered by haircut increases and margin calls that create a dynamic spiral of falling token prices and rising discounts. In conclusion, the "collateral dollar" is not the stablecoin itself. It is the second-layer liability issued against a controlled token balance that is willing to be funded and maintained at near-par value. Its existence depends on that liability surviving the leap from "token liquidity" to "bank dollar liquidity."
