Key takeaways
- Four US spot XRP ETFs drew about 164 million dollars in net inflows in a single day.
- Seven day XRP ETF inflows reached roughly 586.8 million dollars with no recorded daily outflows so far.
- Franklin Templeton calls XRP foundational for settlement while BlackRock continues to avoid XRP ETF filings.
XRP ETF inflows are climbing at a record pace, marking a significant shift in institutional appetite for the digital asset. Recent data shared by market tracker Xaif shows daily net inflows into XRP ETFs topping $164.1 million on November 24, with total fund assets exceeding $628 million. The momentum has propelled weekly inflows to $586.8 million, outpacing similar activity in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) ETFs.
Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Canary Capital have all launched XRP exchange-traded products in recent weeks. Their early success reflects a broader move by institutional players seeking regulated exposure to XRP. Notably, XRP ETFs reported zero outflows during the same period—underscoring sustained interest across trading desks, allocators, and crypto-focused funds.
Franklin Templeton’s positioning has sparked particular attention. The firm, with $1.7 trillion in assets under management, cited XRP’s role in global settlement infrastructure as justification for its launch. In contrast, BlackRock—dominant in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs—has yet to announce an XRP filing, prompting industry speculation about competitive dynamics in the evolving crypto ETF space.
Regulatory Clarity and Structure Drive Fund Inflows
The XRP ETF inflow spike is driven by multiple overlapping catalysts. Regulatory clarity has eliminated legal uncertainties following the resolution of Ripple’s case with the SEC. Fund issuers now operate in a more stable environment, enabling large capital allocators to engage with reduced risk.
Additionally, the physically backed nature of the funds creates organic market demand. When new ETF shares are created, issuers must acquire actual XRP, reducing available supply. This ETF mechanism naturally tightens liquidity during periods of heavy buying.
Competitive fees and aggressive marketing by issuers have also supported inflows. Products are tailored to asset managers and institutions seeking XRP exposure without handling custody. This broadens the addressable market and intensifies flow momentum. Analysts have noted that the pace of inflows has exceeded those seen in earlier ETF launches during previous cycles.
Institutional FOMO and Market Impact Intensify
As flows continue to rise, institutional FOMO (fear of missing out) appears to be emerging. Observers suggest that many fund managers are responding to early capital rotation trends by increasing their own exposure. This self-reinforcing loop—where initial inflows attract new inflows—is reshaping the XRP trading landscape.
Market depth has improved significantly, with increased liquidity across exchanges and rising trading volumes. Quantitative funds and liquidity providers are reportedly participating at a higher rate, responding to deeper and more predictable market condition.
At the time of writing, XRP trades at $2.17, posting a 4.6% gain in 24 hours and adding $9 billion in market capitalization. Analysts caution that volatility may persist in the short term, but note the inflow trend signals a potential long-term revaluation of XRP’s market role.
