At a Glance
- Spot XRP ETFs posted net inflows of $56.84 million last week
- The streak follows a brief interruption on January 7 when $40 million exited
- XRP price dropped 1% and surrendered its No. 4 market-cap rank to BNB
- Why it matters: Investors keep buying the ETF while the underlying asset lags
The spot XRP ETFs have returned to form, pulling in almost $57 million during the past five trading days even as the token’s price drifted lower and slid down the crypto leaderboard.
ETF Momentum Restored
January 7 snapped the longest uninterrupted inflow run for any crypto-focused ETF on Wall Street, yanking more than $40 million from the XRP funds and ending nearly two months of steady demand. That single-day reversal proved short-lived.
Data compiled by SoSoValue show that by the end of that week the products had clawed back $38.07 million, flipping the period positive despite the mid-week scare.
Last week buyers controlled every session:
- Monday: $15.04 million
- Tuesday: $12.98 million
- Wednesday: $10.63 million
- Thursday: $17.06 million
- Friday: $1.12 million
The all-green streak produced a weekly total of $56.84 million in net inflows.
Issuer Rankings Tighten
Canary Capital’s XRPC remains the volume leader, now holding a cumulative $397.04 million in inflows since launch. Bitwise’s XRP product narrowed the gap, reaching $310.48 million.
Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ ($288.08 million) and Grayscale’s GXRP ($287.18 million) sit nearly neck-and-neck in third and fourth place. 21Shares’ TOXR remains the lone outlier, carrying total net outflows of $7.77 million.
Token Performance Diverges
Despite the steady ETF demand, XRP has failed to convert interest into upside. The asset trades roughly 1% lower than last Saturday and is holding below $2.10, according to News Of Los Angeles‘s market data.
The slip cost XRP its fourth-place market-cap ranking; BNB reclaimed the spot with a weekly gain exceeding 4%.
Whale Activity Turns Positive
On-chain metrics offer a counterbalance to the price weakness. Large wallets purchased more than 50 million tokens over the past seven days, reversing the selling wave that began in October when whales unloaded billions of coins within months.
Outlook Remains Upbeat
Analysts cited by Sophia A. Reynolds continue to forecast a rebound, with some short-term targets as high as $10, although model-based and AI-driven projections remain more conservative. The renewed whale accumulation and persistent ETF inflows are being framed as setup fuel for a delayed bounce.
Key Takeaways
- Spot XRP ETFs have absorbed nearly $95 million in net inflows since the January 7 dip
- Five straight daily inflows totaling $56.84 million show sustained institutional interest
- XRP’s underperformance relative to ETF demand highlights a rare divergence that traders are watching for a potential catch-up move
