XRP ETF Tops $1.25B AUM; Market Remains Calm
XRP ETF net assets cross $1.25 billion milestone, but price action remains muted
Institutional demand for XRP exposure continued to build through exchange-traded funds, even as XRP’s spot price stayed range-bound. In recent sessions, investors added $8.19 million to XRP ETF products, lifting total ETF-held net assets to roughly $1.25 billion, according to several widely shared data summaries.
The milestone has drawn attention because it highlights a growing split between steady accumulation through structured products and a spot market that has yet to show sustained momentum. Multiple reports on December 25 pointed to the same theme: ETF assets have climbed toward or above $1.25 billion, while XRP’s price has “stalled” in a tight trading band.
Data cited across coverage indicates that U.S.-based spot XRP ETFs have so far avoided outflows since launching last month. Total net inflows were reported at about $1.13 billion, bringing combined assets under management to approximately $1.25 billion.
Coindesk also reported that XRP ETF net assets surpassed $1.25 billion by December 2025, with $43.89 million in inflows recorded over two weeks—described as the strongest stretch since launch.
Despite the growth in ETF assets, XRP’s spot market has remained narrowly constrained. XRP has largely traded within a $1.85–$1.91 range, with selling pressure noted near $1.90 and recurring bids around $1.86, reflecting limited follow-through in either direction.
The broader context is that ETF growth does not always translate into immediate price movement. Some market observers have compared the situation to other crypto ETF markets, where large inflows have sometimes coincided with strong price advances (as seen during periods of heavy Bitcoin ETF buying), while in other cases—such as Ethereum—ETF demand has not necessarily produced a clear, immediate impact on spot prices.
For now, the key takeaway is straightforward: XRP ETFs have accumulated substantial assets, signaling continuing interest in regulated, exchange-traded access to XRP, while the underlying token’s price remains locked in a narrow range.
