XRP has emerged as the top destination for institutional capital among major digital assets, even as Standard Chartered sharply reduced its 2026 price forecast for the token. The contrasting trends highlight a widening gap between institutional fund rotation and a cautious macro outlook across the broader crypto market.
CoinShares’ latest weekly report shows digital asset investment products recorded $173 million in net outflows last week, extending withdrawals to four consecutive weeks. Monthly redemptions have reached $3.74 billion, with Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products accounting for most of the outflows.
Against this backdrop, XRP investment products attracted $33.4 million in weekly inflows. While this is below the previous week’s $63.1 million, the continued positive flows suggest institutional investors are allocating capital to select altcoins rather than exiting the crypto market entirely.

Jane Street Group has become one of the largest holders of multiple XRP ETFs and is now the third-largest holder of the Bitwise XRP ETF, behind Sloy Dahl and Hols and Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs further reinforced institutional interest through its Q4 2025 13F filing, which reported more than $2.36 billion in crypto exposure, including $153 million in XRP holdings. Grayscale also reported rising institutional demand for XRP, identifying it as the second-most discussed digital asset among clients after Bitcoin.
Despite the inflows, Standard Chartered reduced its XRP price target from $8 to $2.80 for 2026. The bank cited ongoing market volatility and potential ETF fatigue.
XRP had earlier surged on strong ETF flows and regulatory optimism, but has since declined 20% year-to-date. Assets under management in XRP funds peaked near $1.6 billion in January 2026 and have since fallen to just above $1 billion, reflecting shifting sentiment within the evolving crypto investment landscape.
