XRP ETFs Cross $1.25 Billion Milestone with Record 30-Day Inflow Streak
Spot XRP ETFs achieve an unprecedented 30 consecutive days of net inflows as institutional investors rotate away from Bitcoin and Ethereum products.
XRP exchange-traded funds have achieved what no other crypto ETF has at launch: 30 consecutive trading days without a single outflow, pushing cumulative inflows past the $1.25 billion mark.
What Happened
US spot XRP ETFs have recorded an unprecedented streak of 30 straight days of net inflows since their November 13 debut. The products, led by Canary Capital's XRPC, have accumulated $1.25 billion in total assets, with the most recent session adding $8.19 million.
This performance stands in stark contrast to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows. Bitcoin spot ETFs posted $175 million in outflows on December 24, extending their losing streak to four consecutive days. BlackRock's IBIT alone saw $91 million exit in that session. Ethereum ETFs recorded $57 million in outflows the same day, with Grayscale's ETHE leading the exodus.
Solana ETFs have also attracted steady interest, reaching $750 million in cumulative inflows, though they have experienced several outflow days, unlike XRP products.
Why It Matters
The divergence in ETF flows signals a meaningful shift in institutional crypto allocation strategies. Investors appear to be rotating from established players into assets with clearer regulatory status and distinct use cases.
XRP's SEC lawsuit concluded in August with a $125 million settlement, officially classifying it as a non-security. This regulatory clarity, combined with its cross-border payments utility, has made it attractive to institutional buyers seeking exposure beyond pure store-of-value narratives.
Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg suggests the next wave of demand could come from pension funds and insurance companies, which could add $10 billion to $20 billion in flows if they allocate just 0.5% to 1% of their portfolios.
What to Watch
Markets will be watching post-holiday liquidity conditions closely. Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research, noted that the current outflows from BTC and ETH ETFs reflect year-end mechanics rather than a shift in conviction. Initial jobless claims data on December 27 may provide early signals for 2026 positioning.
With $27 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options set to expire on Deribit this Friday, volatility could spike as traders unwind positions. The XRP streak will be tested as normal trading volumes return after the holiday period.
Key Takeaways
This is a developing story. ETF flow patterns may shift as holiday liquidity conditions normalize and year-end positioning concludes.
