XRP ETFs Post $40.8M Outflow, Snapping 54-Day Inflow Run

In XRP news today, U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded their first big pullback after weeks of steady buying. On January 7, XRP spot ETFs saw a $40.8 million net outflow, ending a long 54-day inflow streak. The update was shared by RippleXity on X. 

The data shows that after nearly two months of daily inflows, investors finally hit the sell button. At the same time, XRP price also dipped. Over three days, XRP dropped around 14% falling from near $2.40 to around $2.10.

What Caused the XRP ETF Outflow?

The largest sell pressure came from 21Shares XRP ETF (TOXR). Reports show that 21Shares alone saw about $47 million in redemptions. Other funds also saw smaller outflows. This includes products from Bitwise, Canary Capital and Grayscale. Franklin Templeton’s fund did not record any major change on that day. 

After the outflow, total assets under management across U.S. spot XRP ETFs dropped to about $1.53 billion. Some traders believe this was simple profit booking. XRP had just completed a strong rally and touched $2.40 earlier in the week, a short-term pullback was expected.

Inflows Return Just One Day Later

Interestingly, the selling did not last long. According to SoSoValue data, XRP spot ETFs bounced back on January 8 with $8.72 million in net inflows. The fund with the highest inflow was Bitwise XRP ETF (XRP), which added $4.51 million in a single day. Its total historical inflows now stand near $292 million.

Next was Grayscale GXRP, which saw $2.89 million in inflows. Canary Capital’s XRPC also added close to $1 million. As of January 8, total net assets across all XRP spot ETFs stood at around $1.49 billion. That equals roughly 1.16% of the XRP market cap.

XRP Price Holds Key Level

Despite the ETF selling XRP price has stayed strong. As of today, XRP trades near $2.10, showing signs of stability. Earlier this month, XRP surged nearly 25%, beating Bitcoin and Ethereum. The rally was driven by strong ETF demand, rising whale activity and growing talk of real-world adoption. At its peak, XRP touched $2.40 before cooling off. XRP market cap remains one of the largest in crypto, keeping it firmly in the top three digital assets.

Investor Mood Remains Divided

The ETF outflow sparked mixed reactions online. Some investors say the $40 million sell-off is just normal market noise. Others blame 21Shares (TOXR) for buying too much XRP during the rally and being forced to sell during the dip. Still, many traders remain bullish. With over $1.21 billion in total ETF inflows since launch, long-term demand for XRP exposure remains strong.

What Comes Next?

Currently, the data shows one clear thing. The 54-day inflow streak may be over. But interest in XRP Spot ETFs is far from gone. With funds like Canary Capital’s XRPC, Bitwise XRP and Grayscale GXRP still seeing fresh money, the ETF market remains active. As the XRP price holds above $2, traders are watching closely for the next big move.
