American XRP spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued to attract significant institutional capital at the start of 2026, extending a steady inflow streak that began in late 2025. Data from analytics firm SoSoValue shows that XRP spot ETFs collectively recorded a net inflow of $43.16 million for the period from December 29 to January 2. This signals stable institutional interest despite volatility in the broader cryptocurrency market.
The cumulative net inflows into all U.S. XRP spot ETFs have now reached $1.18 billion, while the total net assets under management (AUM) have climbed to $1.37 billion. This AUM now represents approximately 1.14% of XRP's circulating market value, a share that has been steadily increasing since the products launched, reflecting ongoing allocation rather than short-term positioning.
Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF (XRPZ) led the weekly inflows, adding $21.76 million, bringing its total historical net inflows to $252 million. Bitwise's XRP ETF followed closely with $17.27 million in weekly net inflows, raising its cumulative total to $265 million, making it the largest XRP ETF by historical inflows.
Other products contributed on a more limited scale. Grayscale's XRP ETF saw new capital, while Canary and 21Shares products had limited or flat daily flows. Notably, Canary's XRPC product experienced a weekly outflow of $1.18 million, yet it retains the largest single asset base at $349.24 million and the biggest historical inflow tally at $383.94 million.
Trading activity surged alongside the inflows. The total traded value in U.S. XRP spot ETFs reached $117.45 million during the week, more than double the previous week's volume. On January 2 alone, net inflows were $13.59 million, coinciding with a strong price rally for XRP, which may have bolstered demand without triggering significant profit-taking.
Analysts note that the consistent inflow pattern demonstrates how XRP spot ETFs have established themselves as a stable entry point for regulated exposure. Unlike previous crypto cycles driven by speculative retail trading, recent capital flows appear more measured and consistent, often reflecting long-term allocation strategies rather than short-term price bets. This suggests inflows could continue even during periods of market consolidation.
