XRP and Solana have dethroned Bitcoin and Ethereum as institutional favorites in 2025 With a 500% increase in inflows, XRP is emerging as an institutional favorite, reshaping the crypto investment hierarchy.
The numbers show a marked change in investor behavior. Although Bitcoin investment products attracted $26.98 billion in inflows for 2025, that figure represented a 35% drop from 2024's record pace. In contrast, capital poured into alternative networks at an unprecedented rate. Ethereum inflows increased by 138%, while XRP and Solana saw growth rates of approximately 500% and 1000% respectively, effectively doubling their installed asset bases in one calendar year. This divergence signals a maturing market moving away from broad, speculative diversification toward a narrow, concentrated elite.
