XRP ETFs See Continuous Inflows for 29 Days Amid December Sales
XRP ETFs Maintain Steady Inflows in December
XRP ETFs listed in the United States have continued to attract capital throughout December, extending their streak of positive inflows to 29 consecutive days despite turbulent market conditions. According to data from SoSoValue, XRP ETFs recorded net inflows of $8.44 million on Monday, bringing the total to $1.15 billion since launch. The total net asset value hovered around $1.24 billion, even as XRP prices and broader crypto markets faced selling pressure during the month.
Market Context
Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research, explained that the influxes into XRP are a result of regulatory clarity and consistent accumulation in a less crowded market compared to BTC/ETH. The use case for cross-border payment solutions in XRP provides differentiated exposure that continues to attract long-term capital. Although the inflows for XRP ETFs have decreased compared to the significant surges seen early in the month—where daily additions exceeded $30 million—the funds have still recorded consistent gains in the last week of the month.
Challenges Facing Bitcoin and Ether ETFs
In contrast, Bitcoin and Ether ETFs have been under constant pressure, recording substantial net outflows throughout December. Bitcoin ETFs lost over $1.1 billion, with the largest daily withdrawal occurring on December 15. Meanwhile, Ether ETFs experienced losses of approximately $612 million. Liu suggested that BTC might remain in a chaotic market profile, while ETH could benefit from significant growth due to network adoption and real-world utility.
