Are XRP and HYPE the only ETFs still drawing money in?

XRP and HYPE funds are the bright spots as investors flee BTC and ETH ETFs. Spot bitcoin ETFs had their worst month ever in June. The June crash looks even deadlier on the charts. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ SPONSORED BY Wednesday, July 1, 2026   Welcome to Q3. It can’t be worse than Q2 — probably. The one place where investors are still putting money to work: XRP and HYPE funds, which drew inflows in June even as bitcoin and ether ETFs bled record amounts. Spot bitcoin ETFs shed $4.5 billion in June, the worst month in their history. And bitcoin’s monthly candlestick tells an even grimmer story than the raw 20% decline: a solid red brick with virtually no wicks, a technical pattern called a Marubozu, which chartists read as a warning of continued one-directional selling ahead. Analysts target $48,000–$55,000 as the eventual floor. Seasonality, at least, is on the bulls’ side — July has historically been positive for BTC ten times in fifteen years, with average gains of 19%.

What matters today Markets   Story 1 of 3 XRP and HYPE funds are the bright spots as investors flee bitcoin and ether ETFs. XRP-linked ETFs added $59.4 million in June — a third straight month of net inflows, albeit at a slower pace — while HYPE funds notched $161 million in net inflows for the month. Both stand in sharp contrast to bitcoin ETFs, which suffered record outflows of more than $4 billion, ether ETFs losing $528.99 million, and solana ETFs shedding $786,000. The positive flows into XRP and HYPE signal potential for significant spot price appreciation, particularly if bitcoin and the broader market stabilize. HYPE has fundamental support too: its parent, decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, generated just over $80 million in fees over the past 30 days per DefiLlama — placing it third among all protocols globally, behind only Tether ($486.9 million) and Circle Internet ($184.07 million). July also offers seasonal hope. According to FxPro chief market analyst Alex Kuptsikevich, over the past 15 years bitcoin has ended July higher on ten occasions and lower on five, with an average gain of 19% and an average decline of 7.8%. History is no guarantee — and strong inflows into spot ETFs may be needed to lift BTC — but the setup entering Q3 is at least better on a relative basis than it was entering Q2.

U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $4.5 billion in net outflows in June, the largest monthly redemption since their January 2024 launch. BlackRock’s IBIT alone shed $300 million in a single session Tuesday — its largest single-day outflow in weeks — while Fidelity’s FBTC and other smaller products also recorded sustained redemptions throughout the month. The cumulative outflow figure now stands at approximately $5 billion on a year-to-date basis, meaning the entire first half of 2024 inflow surge has effectively been unwound. Options traders have begun loading up on $50,000 strike puts — a bet that BTC could breach that level — and the gold futures ETF (GLD) is slipping into its own death cross, with the 50-day moving average crossing below the 200-day. BlackRock’s IBIT entered its own death cross in December 2025 and has since fallen 35%. The SOL/ETH ratio’s 50-day SMA is crossing above its 200-day SMA (a “golden cross”) — the one technical positive in an otherwise bleak picture, suggesting Solana may outperform Ether in the weeks ahead.

Bitcoin fell 20% in June to under $60,000 — its worst monthly performance since June 2022 — but the monthly price chart reveals something even more concerning than the raw number. The June candlestick looks like a solid red brick with virtually no wicks: a clear sign of complete and uninterrupted bear dominance throughout the entire 30 days. Sellers never faced a serious challenge from bulls. There was no meaningful bounce above the June 1 open and no relief rally from lows. The price on June 30 was the lowest for the month. Traders call this a “Marubozu” — from the Japanese word for a shaved head — a candlestick with no shadows at either end. Most months, regardless of direction, produce at least some visible volatility because markets are inherently two-sided, and even in bad months there are usually sporadic recoveries that leave a trace. The absence of any of that in the June candle makes the bearishness stand out far beyond the raw 20% decline. The pattern on the monthly chart signals decisively bearish sentiment, consistent with analysts’ predictions of a deeper slide toward an eventual bottom in the $48,000–$55,000 range. As of Wednesday morning, BTC traded near $58,600.

Grayscale Research calls Hyperliquid "the breakout success story of the modern digital assets industry." A high-performance blockchain purpose-built for perpetual futures trading, Hyperliquid is emerging as critical infrastructure for onchain markets. Its native token, HYPE, which ranks among the top 10 tokens by market capitalization1, hit an all-time high this month2. While HYPE is a digital asset, it can equally be thought of as an early-stage technology company: one that processed nearly $3 trillion in derivatives volume and generated ~$800 million in revenue in 20253, all with no venture capital backing.   For investors interested in the Hyperliquid opportunity, HYPG offers exposure to HYPE through an exchange-traded product. Why HYPG? Over $100 million in AUM4 Lowest management fee in its category5 Potential staking rewards through a familiar structure. HYPG seeks to stake 70% or more of its assets, offering the potential for staking rewards that averaged ~2.2% last year6.

This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change.   When a Fund stakes its underlying asset, the token is subject to the risks attendant to staking generally. Staking requires that the Fund lock up the token for the period of time required by the staking protocol, meaning that the Fund cannot sell or transfer the staked token, thereby making it illiquid for the period it is being staked. In addition, during the lock-up period, the Fund is subject to the market price volatility of underlying asset, and it may miss opportunities to sell during opportune times. During the unstaking period, the Fund may miss out on earning opportunities because, in some cases, the staked token may not earn rewards during the unstaking period or may only earn rewards during part of the unstaking period. Staked assets are also subject to security breaches, network downtime or attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, and validator or custodian failure or compromise, which can result in a complete loss of the staked asset or a loss of any rewards. Potential staking rewards are earned by the Fund and not issued directly to investors.   Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry. The value of the Fund depends on the acceptance of the digital assets, the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and the fundamental investment characteristics of the digital asset. Digital asset networks are developed by a diverse set of contributors and the perception that certain high-profile contributors will no longer contribute to the network could have an adverse effect on the market price of the related digital asset. Digital assets may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of such digital assets.   Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the marketing agent for HYPG. © 2026 Grayscale.
