- XRP ETFs recorded $64 million in net inflows, considerably outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- As of year-end, the total net asset value of XRP spot ETFs stands at $1.24 billion.
- XRP trading volume rose 65.4% in the last 24 hours to $1.76 billion.
As 2025 slowly draws to a close, XRP is emerging as the unexpected beneficiary of a massive capital rotation. According to recent data for the final full week of December, US spot XRP ETFs recorded a staggering $64 million in net inflows, considerably outperforming institutional giants like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The surge comes at a time of broader market fragility. Between December 22 and 26, Bitcoin spot ETFs bled roughly $782 million, with all 12 listed products reporting net outflows. Ethereum followed suit with $102 million in weekly withdrawals, as investors appeared to prioritize caution over aggressive positioning.

Even Solana, a high-performer for much of the year, saw only a modest $13.14 million in positive flows, leaving XRP as the clear favorite for the year-end.
What makes this $64 million inflow particularly notable is that it is occurring against a backdrop of lackluster price action. Despite the flood of institutional capital, XRP remains locked in a declining channel, trading approximately 49% below its mid-year high of $3.65.
Technical analysts note that XRP is currently trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, a signal that usually suggests a bearish trend.
Institutional accumulation goes up
Another important aspect of XRP ETFs’ ascent is the speed at which it happened. Since the first spot XRP ETFs launched in mid-November 2025, the asset class has already surpassed the $1.14 billion cumulative historical net inflow milestone, recording zero days of net outflows since the debut.
As of year-end, the total net asset value of XRP spot ETFs stands at $1.24 billion, representing a net asset ratio of nearly 1% relative to Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.

Per data from CoinMarketCap, XRP trading volume rose 65.4% in the last 24 hours to $1.76 billion, signaling a quiet accumulation phase. Numerous analysts suggest that institutional investors are treating the current price, which is hovering near $1.85, as an asymmetric risk-reward opportunity.
Unlike retail traders who often chase momentum, ETF participants are building positions before the technical breakout takes place.
As the industry looks toward 2026, the data suggests that while the so-called narrative era of crypto may be maturing, the institutional appetite for XRP’s role in global settlement infrastructure is only just beginning to intensify.
