- Spot XRP ETFs have attracted over $1.4 billion in net inflows since November 2025
- Goldman Sachs holds nearly $154 million worth of XRP ETF shares
- XRP funds saw limited selling pressure despite a 45% crypto market drawdown
Spot XRP exchange-traded funds have quietly attracted more than $1.4 billion in cumulative inflows even as the broader crypto market experienced a steep downturn. Since their launch in early November 2025, the funds have continued drawing investor interest while many digital assets struggled with heavy price declines.
The resilience stands out because the broader crypto market has been under pressure for months. Bitcoin dropped from its October 2025 peak near $126,000 to roughly $70,000, wiping out about 45% of its value and dragging much of the market lower.
XRP ETFs Show Unexpected Strength
Data shared by Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart shows that XRP ETFs collectively accumulated more than $1.4 billion in net inflows since their debut. The funds launched into one of the toughest crypto market environments in recent years.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas described the inflows as notable given the timing. According to him, attracting steady capital during a major market drawdown suggests strong demand from committed XRP investors.
Some analysts believe much of the buying may be driven by long-time XRP supporters rather than short-term traders.
Institutional Investors Are Already Participating
Institutional investors appear to be taking meaningful positions in the funds. Data shows the top 30 holders of XRP ETF shares controlled around $211 million worth of positions by the end of 2025.
Goldman Sachs stood out as the largest holder, with nearly $154 million invested in XRP ETF shares. The allocation highlights growing institutional interest in gaining exposure to XRP through regulated investment vehicles.
Several major asset managers currently offer spot XRP ETFs, including 21Shares, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Canary Capital, and Grayscale.
Limited Selling Pressure Since Launch
Despite ongoing volatility across the crypto market, XRP ETFs have experienced relatively limited outflows. According to SoSoValue data, the funds have recorded only nine days of net outflows since their launch.
Interestingly, three of those outflow days occurred within the past week, suggesting that most investors have largely maintained their positions during the broader market downturn.
The pattern indicates that ETF holders may be taking a longer-term view rather than reacting to short-term price swings.
XRP Remains Below Its Previous High
At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $1.40 after gaining roughly 2.5% on the day. However, the token still sits about 62% below its all-time high near $3.66 reached in July 2025.
Even so, the steady inflows into XRP ETFs suggest that some investors see the current price levels as an opportunity to accumulate exposure through regulated financial products.
If institutional demand continues building through ETF vehicles, analysts say XRP could remain one of the most closely watched assets in the next phase of the crypto market cycle.
