Regionally, the United States led with $3.1 billion in inflows, accounting for U.S.-based ETFs, cryptocurrency exchanges, and individual investor interest. Switzerland and Germany followed with $35 million and $32 million in inflows respectively.

Ripple XRP Ledger and Ethereum top altcoin inflows

According to records, Ripple’s XRP token came 3rd place in the inflows race with $145 million last week. Taking one of the top positions in inflows, below Ethereum’s $1 billion, could be due to Ripple’s institutional connections and potential ETFs on the horizon if Ripple’s SEC case is dismissed.

With the announcement of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin being released on XRP Ledger, pressure from regulators in the U.S. seems to have subsided since the New York Department of Financial Services had to give the green light for the token to go live.

According to Ripple, following regulators and doing things the ‘right way’, is how Ripple wants to play. Like many other regulated, institutional tokens such as Hedera, Algorand, and Cardano, gaining the trust of regulators is the best way to bridge to the traditional financial world.
