XRP ETFs Are Going Crazy In May As Outflows Die Down
The XRP ETFs continue to see significant demand despite the current bear market conditions, with XRP on the decline. These funds are also outperforming the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which are seeing outflows as BTC and ETH trend downwards. XRP ETFs Record Steady Inflows Even As Price Declines SoSoValue data shows that the XRP ETFs have yet to record any outflows this month, boasting a net inflow of $116.74 million. These funds now have a total net inflow of $1.41 billion since they launched last year. Meanwhile, they hold total net assets of $1.13 billion, which represents 1.36% of XRP’s market cap . These inflows into the XRP ETFs come despite XRP’s downtrend alongside the broader crypto market. The altcoin notably dropped to a new low of around $1.31 last week, but funds have yet to see outflows, signaling strong institutional demand . These ETFs are also notably outperforming the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Further data from SoSoValue shows that Bitcoin ETFs have seen net outflows of $1 billion this month and are currently on a six-day streak of consecutive outflows. At the same time, the Ethereum ETFs have seen net outflows of almost $300 million and are currently on a 10-day streak of consecutive outflows. Meanwhile, continued inflows into XRP ETFs coincide with XRP’s crowd sentiment turning negative again. The ratio of positive to negative commentary is dropping to just 1.1 bullish comments per 1 bearish comment, according to Santiment . The on-chain analytics platform noted that historically, this kind of fear and skepticism has often acted as a contrarian signal for XRP’s price. As such, this could be the perfect buy-the-dip opportunity in preparation for a potential bullish reversal. What Institutional Investors Are Focused On In an X post , crypto pundit X Finance Bull said that institutions buying XRP through ETF products are not reacting to the weekly price action but are positioning ahead of catalysts. These catalysts include the CLARITY Act , Kevin Warsh as the new Fed Chair, the DTCC tokenization going live in July, Ripple Prime’s $200 million debt facility, and the JPMorgan settlement on the XRP Ledger. X Finance Bull remarked that institutional capital is making a statement about which assets they believe in through the downturn, as Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs see outflows while XRP ETFs see inflows. He added that smart money accumulates when the price goes down. Notably, XRP is expected to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the CLARITY Act, especially as Ripple continues to expand its operations. Another bullish catalyst for XRP is that the XRP Ledger continues to see increased tokenization activity. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.33, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Will Pi Network (PI) Outperform AI Crypto Coins in 2026? ChatGPT Gives a Surprising Answer
Pi Network has always been one of the rather unusual stories in crypto. You see, unlike most tokens that first build liquidity and then search for users, Pi’s team spent years building a mobile-first community before actually opening itself to the broader cryptocurrency market through a token generation event. That makes the question of whether Pi Network can outperform AI crypto coins, representing one of the strongest narratives in the industry at present times, particularly interesting. With it in mind, we decided to ask ChatGPT for an answer, to see how an AI thinks about whether a viral altcoin can outperform AI-based cryptocurrencies. Let’s see what it had to say. The Bull Case: A Contrarian View As the subheading suggests, ChatGPT favors AI crypto coins, but it also presents a contrarian view where Pi emerges victorious. It explains that artificial intelligence remains one of the strongest narratives, not just in crypto, but in finance as well. To be fair, there is a point to that. Just yesterday, we reported that DRAM became the fastest-growing ETF in history, and its prime focus is chip manufacturing for AI infrastructure development. But the chatbot built a different bull case for Pi Network: “It is not mainly about advanced technology. It is about community, distribution, and surprise. If PI gains stronger exchange listings, improves liquidity, and shows real ecosystem usage, the token could reprice quickly. because PI’s market cap is smaller than the broader AI crypto sector, it may have more room for a sharp percentage move if sentiment turns bullish.” Of course, that does sound a lot like hopium, given that prominent exchange listings on platforms like Binance have been teased for many months now to no avail. That said, it’s interesting to see if PI can pull off a “surprise.” Why AI Cryptos Have an Edge Surprisingly or not, the AI-based system thinks that AI has an edge. That’s because these altcoins are associated with a global technology trend, as opposed to PI coin, which still needs to prove that its community can actually convert into a robust economy. ChatGPT even gave some odds. It thinks there is a 15% chance of PI strongly outperforming AI cryptos, and it gives us a 25% chance of modestly outperforming some AI coins. It thinks that there is a 40% chance that AI will prevail. Now, remember, this article leans on the speculative spectrum, and it’s intended for comparative purposes, not as financial advice. The objective truth is that PI coin is down 80% in the past year, and its performance has been quite disappointing. Still, it sits on a market cap of more than $1.5 billion, making it one of the larger altcoins. The post Will Pi Network (PI) Outperform AI Crypto Coins in 2026?
