Interest around crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continues to grow, and new data suggests that XRP-related funds are quietly drawing strong attention from investors.

Rather than institutions dominating the inflows, the data indicates that retail investors are playing a major role. That trend is not entirely unexpected, especially considering XRP’s long-standing reputation for having a very active community of individual supporters.
