January 14 News, XRP spot ETF has once again recorded significant capital inflows. Data shows that on January 13, the XRP spot ETF saw approximately $12.98 million in new daily funds, pushing the total asset management scale to about $1.54 billion. Since its launch, the trend of continuous capital inflows has persisted, reflecting ongoing institutional recognition of XRP assets’ value.
From a capital structure perspective, institutional buying remains the main driving force. Among them, Grayscale’s GXRP recorded a net inflow of about $7.86 million, Canary Capital’s XRPC gained approximately $2.73 million in incremental funds, and Bitwise-related products attracted about $2.39 million. The combined efforts of multiple funds have resulted in a cumulative net inflow of about $1.25 billion since the XRP spot ETF was launched in November 2025, performing outstandingly among similar crypto asset ETFs, with some trading days’ capital inflow even surpassing Solana-related ETFs.
Looking back at the background, the XRP spot ETF officially debuted in November 2025, following the resolution of a long-standing legal dispute between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which cleared the way for institutional compliance entry. Subsequently, several international asset management firms have launched XRP-related ETF products. Currently, about 1.1% to 1.2% of the total XRP supply has been locked in ETFs, a relatively high proportion among mainstream crypto assets, seen as an important signal for long-term institutional allocation.
However, the continuous capital inflow has not immediately reflected in the price. Currently, XRP’s price remains in the range of $2.10 to $2.20, around $2.13, a significant decline from the peak of approximately $3.65 in July 2025. This phenomenon of “hot capital, cold price” mainly stems from profit-taking by some retail investors after the rebound in early 2026, increased overall crypto market volatility, and ETF investors mainly holding medium to long-term positions with limited short-term trading demand.
From historical experience, spot ETFs often provide delayed support to prices by continuously absorbing circulating chips. If ETF capital inflows remain stable within 2026, and Ripple makes new progress in institutional cooperation, stablecoin RLUSD applications, or cross-border payment scenarios, the circulating supply of XRP could further tighten. The core question the market is paying attention to has gradually shifted to: when will the demand continue to accumulate, and when will XRP’s price complete its re-pricing based on fundamentals.
