XRP has emerged as the top-performing cryptocurrency this week, recording inflows of $2.1 million. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) faced significant outflows of $541 million, leaving investors wondering if XRP could be a safer alternative during volatile times.

XRP Outshines Bitcoin and Ethereum
According to CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill, XRP led the market with $2.1 million in inflows since Monday, pushing its month-to-date inflows to $92.6 million. In stark contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum suffered heavy weekly outflows of $442 million and $99.2 million, respectively.

Other cryptocurrencies also experienced mixed results. Solana and Litecoin saw outflows of $2 million and $0.2 million, while Cardano and Chainlink recorded minor inflows of $0.3 million and $0.1 million. Despite the challenging market conditions caused by the DeepSeek saga, XRP maintained its upward momentum, cementing its position as a strong performer.
Crypto Market Sentiment Remains Bullish
Despite Bitcoin and Ethereum’s recent struggles, the overall market sentiment remains optimistic. Notable developments, like Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy purchasing 10,107 BTC during the price dip, signal continued confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
Japanese firm Metaplanet has also raised $745 million to increase its Bitcoin holdings. Additionally, the appointment of pro-crypto Scott Bessent as the US Treasury Secretary has further boosted optimism among crypto enthusiasts.
XRP Surges, Outpaces Major Cryptos
XRP has outperformed its competitors in both inflows and price growth. Over the past 24 hours, XRP gained 11.40%, taking its price to $3.13. This surge outpaced Bitcoin’s 3.91% increase and Ethereum’s 4.40% rise.

Notably, XRP whales have accumulated 120 million tokens during the market dip, showcasing strong investor confidence. This accumulation has helped fuel XRP’s rally, positioning it as a standout in the crypto market.
XRP Community Anticipates More Good News

Adding to the bullish sentiment, Sean McBride hinted on social media that the upcoming XRP Community Day could bring exciting developments. While details remain scarce, the community is optimistic that this event will further support XRP’s upward momentum.
