U.S.-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds have attracted more than $1 billion of net inflows since launching in November, with no day of net outflows so far, SoSoValue data show. XRP was trading around $1.88 at the time of reporting, about 49% below its July record of $3.65, and Acheron Trading quantitative trader Jonathan Yark said: “We’re in a genuine adoption phase for crypto ETFs.” DL News
The streak matters because crypto ETF demand is starting to spread from bitcoin and ether into smaller tokens. Fund flows can signal where institutions want exposure as markets head into the new year.
For XRP, the inflow run is also a gauge of whether newer regulated products can draw steady allocations rather than short bursts of trading. So far, heavy inflows have not translated into a rapid rebound in the token.
Spot XRP ETFs have posted 29 straight days of net inflows and added $8.44 million on Monday, TipRanks reported. Assets were about $1.24 billion, while spot bitcoin ETFs have lost more than $1.1 billion this month and ether ETFs about $612 million, as investors sold positions for tax-loss harvesting and year-end portfolio adjustments.
Exchange-traded funds are listed vehicles that trade like stocks and aim to track an underlying asset. In spot crypto ETFs, the fund holds the token itself rather than derivatives such as futures, and “net inflows” reflect new money coming in after redemptions.
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s daily file of active and pre-launch ETFs lists several XRP-linked products, including Bitwise’s XRP ETF (ticker XRP) and Franklin’s XRP ETF (XRPZ). The list also includes XRP funds from Canary, CoinShares and WisdomTree, among others.
DefiLlama data showed net outflows of about $19.3 million from bitcoin ETFs on Dec. 29, with assets under management of about $92.2 billion. Ethereum ETFs saw about $9.6 million of net outflows that day, with assets around $13.3 billion.
Tax-loss harvesting — selling losers to offset taxable gains — can add pressure in the final weeks of the year. It can also complicate flow comparisons across funds as investors rotate exposures.
ETF inflows do not guarantee an immediate move in the underlying token. Prices can lag when broader risk sentiment is weak or when traders hedge exposure in other markets.
