At a Glance
- XRP ETFs saw their worst trading day since inception on Tuesday, with a record net outflow of $53.32 million.

- XRP’s spot price fell below $2.00, erasing early 2026 gains.
XRP ETFs have been in a massive roll since Canary Capital’s XRPC debuted on November 13, but January 7 marked the first red day for any cryptocurrency-based ETF. The spot XRP exchange-traded funds lost the longest daily net inflow streak, ending a nearly two-month run of positive flows. Despite that one-day loss, the week still closed with net inflows as investors offset the decline.
The following week was all green, with almost $57 million entering the funds. However, the first trading day of the previous week reversed that momentum, as investors pulled out $53.32 million, the largest daily net outflow ever for the XRP ETFs. The week’s trading schedule was shortened by Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the U.S., limiting the market’s ability to recover. Net inflows for January 21 were just $7.16 million, followed by modest $2.09 million on Thursday and $3.43 million on Friday. Data from SoSoValue shows that the net outflows for the four-day period total $40.64 million, making it the first red week since XRPC’s debut. Cumulative net inflows have slipped from a peak of $1.28 billion to $1.23 billion, a reduction of $50 million.

XRP’s price action mirrored the ETF flows. After surging from under $1.90 to $2.40 at the start of 2026, the token was quickly rejected and driven south to $2.10, where it lingered for several days. The price fell by $0.30. A broader market correction, prompted by growing geopolitical tension, pushed the price back to around $1.90 by press time.
