XRP Defies the Trend: Sees Strong Inflows as Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds Bleed
While Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products faced heavy outflows last week, XRP stood out with $37.7 million in inflows—bringing its year-to-date total to $214 million, just $1 million behind Ethereum. This strong performance signals rising institutional confidence in XRP amid broader market uncertainty. HashKey Capital also launched Asia’s first XRP Tracker Fund, reflecting growing demand, especially in Switzerland, Germany, and Canada. As major U.S. funds saw $71 million in outflows, XRP’s resilience could position it favorably for a potential spot ETF approval in the near future.

TON Foundation Taps MoonPay Co-Founder as CEO Amid Slowed Growth
Maximilian Crown, co-founder of MoonPay, has been appointed CEO of the TON Foundation as the network faces stagnation in transaction volume and daily fees. Crown’s fintech expertise and regulatory ties aim to revitalize the Telegram-linked blockchain, which now boasts over 40M active users and 121M unique Toncoin holders.
Dogecoin Eyes $1: Is the Meme Coin Growing Up?
Dogecoin is up 17% this week, breaking a key resistance level and sparking calls for a potential $1 breakout in May. On-chain activity is surging, with daily active addresses surpassing XRP, and millions in short positions getting liquidated. Analysts say DOGE is evolving beyond its meme origins, positioning itself as a real, low-correlation asset with growing investor interest.
