Updated: Jan 11 2026- Surge in Institutional Demand: Since its launch in November 2025, XRP ETFs have reached unprecedented trading volumes, with $1.3 billion in net inflows over 50 days, indicating strong institutional interest in altcoins, particularly following regulatory clarity that has significantly shifted capital flows.
- Price Resilience: Despite the first net outflow event on January 7, 2026, XRP's price surged by 25%, demonstrating market resilience, with CEO Hany Rashwan noting unprecedented demand for the XRP ETF, signaling a clear shift in market dynamics.
- Comparison with Bitcoin ETFs: XRP ETFs matched Bitcoin's inflow pace, setting a precedent for altcoin ETFs, with Bitwise's CIO Matt Hougan observing that regulatory clarity allows non-Bitcoin altcoins to attract significant institutional interest.
- Long-Term Growth Potential: Experts suggest that ETF-driven liquidity for XRP may foster long-term growth, with past successful launches supporting this model, further solidifying XRP's strategic market position.
