TL;DR
- XRP ETF Momentum: XRP ETFs have surpassed $1 billion in inflows with no outflow days, setting a record streak that highlights investor confidence and resilience compared to BTC and ETH funds.
- Market Divergence: Ethereum ETFs lost nearly $1 billion, and Bitcoin funds shed $3 billion during the same period.
- Institutional Entry: CoinShares and WisdomTree filed SEC S-1 registrations, with WisdomTree preparing ticker XRPW.
Ripple’s XRP ETFs are rewriting the script on crypto fund performance, defying broader market cooling and attracting institutional attention. More than a month after the first US-based spot XRP ETF debuted, inflows remain strong. At the same time, CoinShares and WisdomTree have formally joined the launch queue, signaling a new phase of mainstream adoption.
Streak of Inflows Sets XRP Apart
Canary Capital’s XRPC, launched November 13, shattered 2025 trading records with nearly $60 million in volume and daily net inflows topping $240 million. Four additional XRP ETFs quickly followed, pushing cumulative inflows past $1 billion. Remarkably, not a single day of net outflows has been recorded, a feat unmatched by BTC and ETH ETFs, which stumbled after their own launches in 2024.
BTC and ETH Funds Face Declines
While XRP funds surged, Ethereum ETFs lost nearly $1 billion in the same period, dropping from $13.57 billion to $12.64 billion. Bitcoin ETFs fared worse, shedding $3 billion as inflows fell from $60.21 billion to $57.27 billion. This divergence underscores XRP’s unique momentum, positioning it as a rare bright spot in an otherwise cooling crypto ETF market.
Price Struggles Despite ETF Success
XRP’s market price tells a different story. The token traded above $2.50 on XRPC’s launch day but has since slipped below $2.00 multiple times. Analysts attribute the decline partly to whale activity, with reports of 1.2 billion tokens sold in four weeks. The drop below $1.92 support raises concerns of a potential slide toward $1.00, highlighting the disconnect between ETF inflows and asset performance.
Institutional Confidence Builds
CoinShares and WisdomTree have filed S-1 registrations with the SEC, moving closer to launching their own spot XRP ETFs. WisdomTree, managing $139 billion in assets, plans to list under ticker XRPW, reinforcing its ETF pedigree. These filings mark a pivotal step in XRP’s integration into traditional finance, potentially unlocking new capital inflows and expanding access for both institutional and retail investors.
