XRP Spot ETF attracts $46 million in a single day, with total assets rising to $1.65 billion

On January 5th, the US spot XRP ETF once again experienced strong capital inflows, indicating that institutional investors’ willingness to allocate to XRP continues to increase. According to the latest ETF data, the total net inflow for XRP spot ETFs on that day was approximately $46.1 million, with total assets rising to $1.65 billion, reaching a new phased high. Notably, all listed XRP spot ETFs on that day did not experience net capital outflows, and the overall trading volume reached about $72 million, reflecting a simultaneous increase in market activity.

In terms of market capitalization share, the XRP assets held by ETFs currently account for approximately 1.17% of XRP’s total market cap. Against the backdrop of a recent significant rise in XRP prices, the capital performance at the ETF level shows no clear signs of profit-taking, indicating that buying activity is not primarily short-term trading but more inclined toward medium- to long-term allocation.

At the product level, Franklin Templeton and Bitwise have become the main drivers of this round of capital inflows. The Franklin Templeton-supported XRPZ ETF recorded a net inflow of about $12.59 million on that day, with a cumulative net inflow reaching $252 million. The Bitwise spot XRP ETF also performed strongly, with approximately $16.61 million in new funds added in a single day, bringing its total net inflow to $265 million, demonstrating sustained attractiveness among institutional clients.

Additionally, other issuers also posted impressive results. The TOXR product under 21Shares saw inflows exceeding $7 million on that day, while Grayscale’s XRP fund received nearly $10 million in net inflows. Overall, XRP ETF capital inflows show a multi-point flowering pattern, with demand not concentrated on a single issuer but instead reflecting a healthier and more diversified capital structure.

From a time perspective, the strong performance on a single day is not an isolated phenomenon. From December 29, 2025, to January 2, 2026, the weekly net inflow for XRP spot ETFs reached approximately $43.16 million. Among them, the XRPZ ETF led with $21.76 million, followed by Bitwise with a weekly inflow of $17.27 million. This indicates that the demand for XRP ETFs remained stable at the beginning of 2026, rather than being driven by short-term sentiment.

Overall, continuous ETF capital inflows are reinforcing an important signal: more and more investors prefer to hold XRP indirectly through compliant, regulated ETF products rather than directly holding the tokens. This not only lowers custody and compliance barriers but also enhances the accessibility of traditional funds into the XRP market. As ETF sizes continue to grow, the flow of XRP ETF capital is likely to remain an important indicator for observing XRP market sentiment and medium- to long-term trends.
