XRP ETFs See First Outflows as Whale Activity Rises and Market Sentiment Weakens

XRP ETFs logged first outflows amid broad ETF selling as whale transfers rose, exchange balances fell, and sentiment weakened market.

US spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted their first day of net outflows since hitting the market. And effectively, this poor run halted a weeks-long run of steady inflows. Interestingly, this market drop came as patronage of ETF products reduced and the broader market flashed cooling signs. But even so, XRP-linked investment products remain among the strongest-performing in the ETF market.

XRP ETFs Face Initial Pullback as Bitcoin and Ether Funds Also See Outflows

Data from SoSoValue shows that around $40.8 million left US spot XRP ETFs on Wednesday. The move marked the first daily reversal since the funds began gathering assets in mid-November 2025. Until then, XRP ETFs had recorded uninterrupted inflows, supported by rising investor interest and positive sentiment around the token.

Despite the red day, XRP ETFs entered the week on solid footing. Consecutive inflows earlier in the year had pushed cumulative net inflows to about $1.2 billion. Total net assets across the products remain above $1.5 billion, keeping XRP ETFs among the largest and most resilient crypto exchange-traded products currently trading in the US.

Selling pressure was not limited to XRP-linked funds. Figures from Farside Investors show that spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $486 million in net outflows on Wednesday, their largest single-day withdrawal since November. 

Spot Ether ETFs also turned negative, posting roughly $98 million in investment exits. The synchronized move points to broader risk reduction rather than XRP-specific weakness.

In recent weeks, market participants have shown strong interest in XRP-linked investment products. Total net assets crossed the $1.5 billion mark, helped by familiarity with the token and its long market history.

Last month, CF Benchmarks CEO Sui Chung said XRP’s long track record made it easier for traditional investors to gain comfort with the product. That narrative carried through December, when spot XRP ETFs logged a 29-day inflow streak, even as other crypto ETFs faced month-end withdrawals tied to portfolio repositioning.

Whale Activity Rises as Price Pulls Back Despite Strong Start to the Year

XRP has been on a strong run this new year, ranked among the leading digital assets in performance. But analysts still warn that in a volatile market, even a strong outing does not guarantee future growth.

For instance, on-chain data indicates a shift in activity that aligns with price movements. Large transfers on the XRP Ledger picked up as the asset’s price pulled back. 

As per Santiment, transactions exceeding $100,000 touched a three-month peak. Daily whale-sized jumped to an intraday high of 2,802, which is its highest level since October. Generally, such periods often precede higher volatility, as large holders position for price swings.

At the same time, exchange data points to reduced immediate selling pressure. XRP balances on Binance fell to about 2.6 billion tokens, the lowest level since January 2024. By late 2025, the exchange held roughly 3.25 billion XRP. The decline suggests ongoing withdrawals to private wallets, a pattern more often associated with custody than with near-term selling.

Bearish Sentiment Persists as XRP Whale Exchange Flows Trend Lower

Deposits from large holders to Binance have trended lower since mid-December. In November and early December, whales made up more than 70% of total inflows. That share has since dropped to around 60%, while retail activity has stayed steady. Historically, a smaller whale share in deposits tends to ease short-term sell pressure.

At the time of writing, XRP is exchanging hands at $2.07 after a 7.5% intraday drop. Prices touched $2.40 earlier in the week before yielding to a broader market pullback. For now, the market sentiment is bearish, with the Fear & Greed pointing to prevailing fear.

Tokyo Fashion Brand Expands Into Bitcoin and AI

The post Tokyo Fashion Brand Expands Into Bitcoin and AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Wednesday, Japanese casual apparel retailer Mac House announced that shareholders approved a name change to Gyet Co., Ltd., signaling a strategic shift into crypto and digital assets. The move highlights a broader corporate plan centered on cryptocurrency, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. It reflects the company’s ambition to launch a global Bitcoin treasury program, drawing attention from both domestic and international observers. “Yet” and Its Global Significance Gyet’s amended corporate charter introduces wide-ranging digital initiatives, adding cryptocurrency acquisition, trading, management, and payment services. The new objectives also cover crypto mining, staking, lending, and yield farming, as well as blockchain system development, NFT-related projects, and research in generative AI and data center operations. These changes indicate a clear intent to diversify beyond apparel and position the company within global technology and finance sectors. Sponsored Sponsored The rebranding reflects Gyet’s aim to operate with a broader international outlook. Its new name conveys three concepts: “Growth Yet,” “Global Yet,” and “Generation Yet,” signaling a desire to create technology-driven value for future generations while expanding beyond Japan’s domestic market. Bitcoin Purchasing and Mining Gyet declared its digital asset ambitions in June 2025 and in July signed a basic cooperation agreement with mining firm Zerofield. The company has since begun a $11.6 million Bitcoin acquisition program and is testing mining operations in US states such as Texas and Georgia, where electricity costs are relatively low. Its goal of holding more than 1,000 BTC is modest globally, but the model—funding purchases and mining with retail cash flow—remains unusual for an apparel business. Within Japan, Gyet follows companies such as Hotta Marusho and Kitabo, which have also diversified into cryptocurrency activities distinct from their original operations. This move may accelerate corporate Bitcoin holdings as a financial strategy, attract interest in overseas mining ventures by Japanese firms, and…

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
