U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded a final-day inflow of $5.58 million, bringing the total net inflows for the month to positive territory and marking a solid end-of-year performance for the Ripple-linked product. The highlight: the newly launched Bitwise XRP ETF (ticker: XRPZ) captured the lion’s share of the day’s inflows, drawing $4.2 million while other funds saw modest or flat activity.
This late-2025 momentum follows a choppy launch period for XRP spot ETFs (approved in mid-2025 after years of legal battles), with total AUM across all XRP vehicles now exceeding $1.2 billion. Analysts attribute the uptick to renewed confidence post-Ripple’s partial SEC victory, increasing cross-border payment utility, and institutional interest in XRP as a bridge asset for fast, low-cost remittances and settlement. XRPZ’s strong debut is credited to Bitwise’s established track record (leading in altcoin ETF filings) and aggressive marketing targeting wealth managers and hedge funds.
The inflows come amid broader market rotation: while Bitcoin and Ethereum remain dominant, altcoins like XRP are seeing renewed capital allocation as traders seek higher-beta plays in a maturing cycle. Ripple’s ecosystem also benefits from ongoing developments — including expanded On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) corridors, new partnerships in Asia and the Middle East, and growing stablecoin integrations — reinforcing XRP’s real-world use case narrative.
Despite earlier outflows during regulatory uncertainty periods, the December close has shifted sentiment: XRP ETFs now rank among the fastest-growing non-BTC/ETH products, with daily trading volumes climbing steadily. This positions XRP well for potential 2026 catalysts, including further ETF approvals in other jurisdictions and increased institutional adoption.
The data release dominated X discussions on January 1, 2026, with inflow charts, XRPZ performance screenshots, and ETF comparison threads circulating widely, sparking debates on institutional flows, altcoin rotations, XRP utility, and ETF momentum among traders, analysts, and Ripple community members.
