This month's interesting phenomenon: when the market is so volatile, XRP spot ETF has instead become a safe haven for funds.



The data is clear—according to CryptoCompare statistics, the cumulative net inflow into XRP ETFs in December reached $230 million. In contrast, Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced outflows during the same period. The difference is quite significant.

The underlying logic is not hard to guess: institutions are re-evaluating the value of XRP. First, the progress of Ripple's lawsuit with the SEC is looking good, and the compliance path is becoming clearer. Second, real-world cases of cross-border payments are increasing, no longer just promises on paper. Third, ecosystem development on the XRP chain has not stopped, with various applications being promoted. These three points combined are enough to attract institutional attention.

However, it's important to clarify that there are risks as well. Short-term arbitrage funds may account for a significant proportion, and regulatory policies could change at any time. All these uncertainties need to be considered.

The question is: is this influx of institutional funds a long-term strategic layout or just a short-term risk-hedging move? What do you all think?

2.3 billion invested, are institutions really optimistic or just playing with heartbeats? I actually think it's a bit too good to be true.

Institutions are really changing their approach. This wave of XRP is quite desperate. But honestly, the 230 million inflow doesn't feel as strong as expected. Compared to the size of BTC, it's just a drop in the bucket. Winning the Ripple lawsuit is a positive, but such cycles for speculation are only so long. Don't expect to hold for too long. I've seen quite a few news reports about cross-border payment implementations, but truly usable companies are still few, most are still conceptual. Short-term risk aversion? Long-term positioning? I actually think institutions are just accumulating at low levels, waiting for the SEC policy to change again before taking action. The XRP ecosystem is indeed moving, but to be honest, it still depends on Ripple's next move. The ecosystem itself feels too weak. The truly stable projects this time should still be those with actual applications. Pure concepts will inevitably face setbacks.

Oops, XRP is showing off again. Are the institutions really optimistic this time or just selling high? I'm a bit confused.
