The US spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are on the verge of hitting $1 billion in cumulative inflows since their debut on November 13, marking the largest altcoin ETF launch to date. Wall Street's appetite for regulated crypto exposure has driven 15 consecutive days of positive capital flows, with nearly $900 million already locked in. Analysts predict the milestone will be crossed by year-end, fueled by XRP's regulatory clarity and institutional confidence. Meanwhile, Ripple's $500 million IPO has drawn heavyweight investors, further solidifying XRP's position in the crypto market.
Why Are XRP ETFs Gaining Unprecedented Institutional Interest?
Spot XRP ETFs in the US have attracted $897.35 million in net inflows over 15 straight days, according to data from SoSovalue. Products by Canary Capital, Grayscale, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton have seen zero redemptions since launch—a rarity in the volatile crypto ETF space. "This momentum isn’t slowing down," says Mati Greenspan of Quantum Economics. "XRP’s liquidity, brand recognition, and regulatory green light make it a SAFE harbor for institutions." Notably, over 400 million XRP tokens are now held in these ETFs, with prices stabilizing around $2.
How Did Regulatory Clarity Transform XRP’s Trajectory?
XRP’s legal saga with the SEC ended in August 2025 with a $125 million settlement, finally dispelling its "toxic asset" reputation. Judge Analisa Torres’ 2023 ruling that XRP isn’t a security paved the way, but the SEC’s appeals delayed resolution until the TRUMP administration’s "regulation-by-enforcement" approach ended. "Institutions aren’t betting on XRP’s tech—they’re betting on its compliance," notes Greenspan. The token’s 34% drop from its 3-month high ($3.18) hasn’t deterred inflows, suggesting Wall Street values stability over hype.
What Sets XRP ETFs Apart From Bitcoin and Ether Products?
While Bitcoin ETFs bled $3.7 billion in November amid price swings ($86K–$94K), XRP funds Leveraged over-the-counter (OTC) markets to manage liquidity. BTCC analysts highlight that XRP ETFs attracted "higher-quality institutional capital" due to their resilience during October’s market crash. Unlike Bitcoin’s speculative waves, XRP’s utility-focused narrative—powering Ripple’s cross-border payments—resonates with conservative investors.
Ripple’s $500 Million IPO: Who’s Betting Big?
Ripple’s November IPO at a $40 billion valuation lured Citadel Securities and Fortress Investment Group. Disclosures revealed 90% of Ripple’s net worth ties to XRP holdings—124 billion tokens as of July, mostly in escrow. "The IPO wasn’t just about funding; it was a credibility play," says a Marshall Wace insider. Despite XRP’s 40% slump since July highs, Ripple’s stablecoin division and brokerage services signal long-term diversification.
