XRP ETFs Outpace Solana Counterparts by Over $270M
XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted significantly more capital than their Solana counterparts, despite the latter's stronger token performance. According to market analyst Sam Daodu, XRP ETFs have drawn in $1.39 billion since their November 2025 launch, outpacing Solana funds that debuted a month earlier with $1.12 billion in cumulative inflows.
The roughly $270 million gap has held even as XRP's price slipped from its summer 2025 high. Meanwhile, Solana has logged stronger token performance across much of the year.
Daodu attributes the structural difference between the two assets to regulatory clarity, rather than technical capabilities. He notes that the CLARITY Act would set defined rules for XRP custody, collateral treatment, and balance-sheet exposure, a compliance template that pension funds and regulated asset managers need before deploying capital at scale.
Standard Chartered has projected $4 billion to $8 billion in XRP ETF inflows by year-end if the bill becomes law, several times the current cumulative total. The Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act in a 15-9 vote last week, pushing XRP briefly above $1.50 before sellers reclaimed the $1.45 level.
