US-listed XRP exchange-traded funds recorded their 30th consecutive day of net inflows on Tuesday, attracting $8.54 million and pushing total assets under management to $1.18 billion, even as spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs suffered combined outflows exceeding $200 million.
The streak, which began November 13 with the launch of Canary Capital‘s XRPC fund, marks one of the longest uninterrupted inflow runs among newly launched crypto ETFs in the US—yet XRP’s spot price has failed to respond, sparking debate over why institutional demand hasn’t translated to market strength.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse acknowledged the milestone publicly, posting on X: “30 straight days of net inflows for XRP Spot ETFs.”
The message was brief, but the signal was loud: institutional interest in Spot XRP ETFs remains resilient, even when price action tells a more cautious story.
The inflow streak for Spot ETFs stands in stark contrast to broader ETF market weakness.
While XRP-linked funds remain firmly in the green, both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have experienced consecutive days of outflows.
According to data from Farside Investors and SoSoValue, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a combined $224.9 million in net outflows in the latest session.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust account posted $210.68 million in net outflows, the largest single-day withdrawal across U.S. spot ETFs.
Bitwise, Ark & 21Shares, VanEck, and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust also reported notable redemptions.
Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund was the lone bright spot, attracting $26.72 million in net inflows.
Against this backdrop, Spot XRP ETFs have emerged as a rare institutional safe harbor.
Despite the consistent inflows into Spot XRP ETFs, XRP’s price has failed to respond meaningfully.
This disconnect has sparked debate among traders and analysts questioning why ETF demand has not translated into spot market strength.
One prominent XRP community commentator suggested that rising ETF volumes may actually reduce XRP liquidity on exchanges.
As more tokens are held in ETF custody accounts, fewer coins circulate on open markets, limiting bot-driven trading and short-term speculative activity.
However, the reduced float could also introduce short-term volatility risks, as fewer market participants may have greater influence over price movements.
Another theory gaining traction is the absence of mature arbitrage mechanisms between Spot XRP ETFs and crypto exchange markets.
According to one XRP enthusiast on X, arbitrage bots between ETFs and spot XRP markets are “not implemented yet, at least in volume.”
He added: Once this happens, we will have price stability and huge volumes on ETFs. Then institutions will see it as a more stable trade and get in.
This snowballing the whole thing. If true, the continued inflow streak into Spot XRP ETFs could represent the early phase of a broader institutional adoption cycle—one that may eventually reshape liquidity dynamics across crypto markets.
Whether bullish or controversial, the message from Spot XRP ETFs is clear: institutional capital is voting with its feet.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs face redemptions, Spot XRP ETFs continue to attract steady inflows, challenging assumptions about where traditional finance sees long-term value.
As the market heads deeper into year-end trading, the sustained performance of Spot XRP ETFs may prove to be one of the most underappreciated crypto narratives of the quarter.
