XRP spot ETFs see inflows again after record $53m outflow, price remains under pressure

XRP spot exchange-traded funds [ETFs] have begun recording inflows again after suffering their largest single-day net outflow earlier this month, according to data from SoSoValue. 

The shift in flows comes as XRP’s price remains range-bound and below key moving averages, highlighting stabilisation in positioning rather than an apparent trend reversal.

XRP ETF flows rebound after January capitulation

On 20 January, XRP spot ETFs registered a net outflow of $53.32 million, the largest daily redemption since the products launched.

The move marked a sharp reversal after weeks of steady inflows and coincided with heightened volatility across the XRP market.

Since that drawdown, ETF flows have turned positive again. The latest data shows daily net inflows of around $9.16 million, indicating that selling pressure has eased and that some investors have begun adding exposure following the mid-January shock.

Total assets remain elevated despite volatility

Despite the outflow event, total net assets across XRP spot ETFs remain relatively high. Aggregate assets currently stand near $1.38 billion, well above levels seen in November. 

This suggests that the January redemption did not unwind the broader accumulation trend established late last year.

Price consolidates below key technical levels

XRP’s price action, however, tells a more cautious story. The token was trading around $1.90–$1.95 at the time of writing, remaining below both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, which are clustered just under the $2.00 level.

Since peaking near $3.60 in October, XRP has established a pattern of lower highs and lower lows, confirming a broader downtrend. 

While price volatility has moderated since the January ETF outflow, XRP has yet to reclaim levels that would signal a meaningful shift in market structure.

Flow stabilisation does not yet signal trend reversal

The timing suggests that ETF selling may have amplified existing downside pressure rather than initiating it. 

XRP was already trending lower before the January outflow, and the subsequent return to positive flows has coincided with price stabilisation rather than a rebound.

For now, ETF data suggests improving positioning after a period of stress. At the same time, price action indicates the market remains cautious and sensitive to further shifts in sentiment.

Final Thoughts

• XRP spot ETFs have recorded fresh inflows after a $53.32 million outflow on 20 January, with total assets holding near $1.38 billion.
• Despite stabilising flows, XRP continues to trade below $2.00 and key moving averages, suggesting consolidation rather than a confirmed reversal.
