Despite experiencing its first day of negative outflows last week, XRP ETFs reached a record high in total weekly trading volume. This development underscores the progressing maturation of the XRP ETF landscape in the U.S.

XRP ETFs Achieve $219 Million Trading Volume Last Week

Recent market data reveals that spot XRP ETFs reached their highest weekly trading volume since their launch, totaling $219 million. This amount is nearly double the trading volume of $117.4 million from the previous week.

This new record has surpassed the earlier peak of $213.9 million, which was achieved in the third week of December 2025. This milestone indicates a growing demand from investors for XRP ETFs, even as overall interest in the broader crypto ETF market declines.

It's worth noting that the U.S.-based XRP ETFs recorded their first day of negative performance last week, with a net outflow of $40.8 million on Wednesday, January 7. Nevertheless, this downturn did not prevent these exchange-traded products from concluding the week positively.

Data from SoSoValue indicates that the XRP ETF market saw an additional $38.07 million in value during the week ending January 9. However, a review of the data suggests a steady decline in capital inflow for these crypto-linked products.

As of now, the spot XRP ETFs have amassed a total of $1.47 billion in net assets since their introduction in mid-November 2025. Leading the pack is Canary Capital’s XRPC with $375.1 million in assets under management (AUM), followed by Bitwise’s XRP fund with $300.3 million, and Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ at $279.6 million.

XRP ETFs Outperform Amidst Crypto Market Challenges

While XRP ETFs are showing resilience, the more established Bitcoin and Ether ETFs are experiencing tougher times. Recent market statistics reveal that these crypto funds faced a collective withdrawal of $749.6 million during their first full trading week of the year.

In particular, the spot Bitcoin ETFs endured their largest single-day net outflows of $486.1 million on January 7. The Bitcoin exchange-traded funds ended the week with net outflows exceeding $681 million.

Conversely, the Ethereum ETF market had a promising start, with inflows of $168.1 million on January 5 and another $114.7 million on January 6, but ultimately finished the week with net withdrawals of $68.6 million.
