Updated: Jan 08 2026- First Net Outflow: On January 7, 2026, U.S.-listed XRP ETFs, including Bitwise and Franklin, recorded their first net outflow of $41 million, marking a significant shift in investor sentiment since their launch in November 2025.
- Asset Management Impact: This outflow represents about 2-3% of the assets under management for XRP ETFs, yet the cumulative inflows still exceed $1.2 billion, indicating that initial market enthusiasm for XRP has not entirely waned.
- Market Dynamics: The outflow may reflect profit-taking or rebalancing by investors, and data from SoSoValue suggests similar trends in institutional flows, potentially signaling broader market movements away from XRP.
- Industry Comparison: The outflow trend for XRP ETFs mirrors that of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, suggesting that investors may be reallocating assets, highlighting the influence of macroeconomic factors on market behavior.
