XRP ETFs Outpace Solana by $270M as CLARITY Act Looms

XRP (XRP) exchange-traded funds have attracted significantly more investment than Solana (SOL) products since their launch, despite SOL outperforming XRP in price. According to market analyst Sam Daodu, XRP ETFs have absorbed $1.39 billion in cumulative inflows since November 2025, while Solana funds launched a month earlier have gathered $1.12 billion. The roughly $270 million gap has persisted even as XRP declined from its summer 2025 high.

Solana has seen stronger token performance throughout the year, but ETF capital continues to flow towards XRP. In April, XRP funds posted $81.6 million in inflows and maintained a 14-day positive streak that month. Year-to-date inflows reached about $124 million by the end of April for XRP, while Solana products took in $38.69 million across the same stretch.

The CLARITY Act is seen as a key factor driving XRP's success. The bill would set defined rules for XRP custody, collateral treatment, and balance-sheet exposure, providing compliance clarity that pension funds and regulated asset managers need to deploy capital at scale. Standard Chartered has projected $4 billion to $8 billion in XRP ETF inflows by year-end if the bill becomes law.
