Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Record Massive Drop in Institutional Interest: CoinShares

There is a notable decline in institutional interest in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. The same sentiment is reflected in their prices, leaving the community wondering what’s next now that US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his intention of making the US a crypto capital of the world. Also, inflows into BlackRock’s iShares ETFs are growing continuously reaching $1.45 billion in a week.

Institutional Interest Drops in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP

According to a report by CoinShares, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP recorded a significant drop in inflow last week. It indicates a decline in interest from institutional investors. Inflows into digital assets are now down to $1.9 billion from $2.2 billion in an earlier week.

Nevertheless, trading volume remained high with a recorded number of $25 billion throughout the week. It is speculated that the number has changed in response to the Presidential executive order establishing a strategic digital asset stockpile in the US. This could include altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), XRP and Hedera (HBAR).

The Year-to-Date inflow stands at $4.8 billion, a boost that is rooted to the proposal of an executive order that aims to develop a National Digital Asset Stockpile. It has triggered bullish sentiments across the crypto market and is gaining further momentum since Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to making the US a crypto capital.

Inflows into Bitcoin are down from $1.9 billion to $1.6 billion over a week. Similarly, flows into Ethereum have dipped from $246 million to $205 million. Inflows into XRP are down from $31 million to $18.5 million.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Price Crash

The global crypto market has crashed today due to multiple reasons including panic towards China’s DeepSeek AI model, FOMC Meeting, and others.

BTC price has slipped below the $100,000 milestone with a 5.66% dip in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin is now exchanging hands at $98,738.10. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicted a crash to $75K before rebounding again for a new all-time high.

Meanwhile, XRP has plunged by 11.15% to $2.77, and there is a risk that XRP price may fall to $2. Experts are bullish that such a huge decline is not on the horizon for Ripple’s native token.
