Xrp Etf Debut Outshines All 2025 Launches With $250m Inflows,...

Canary Capital’s XRP ETF outperformed all 900 ETF launches of 2025, inspiring a bullish rotation among the industry’s most successful traders, who are now betting on XRP’s price increasing.

The debut of the Canary Capital XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) is signaling renewed demand for altcoins, after the fund posted the strongest first-day performance of the more than 900 ETFs launched in 2025.

Canary Capital’s XRP (XRP) ETF closed its first day with $58 million in trading volume, marking the most successful ETF debut of 2025 among both crypto and traditional ETFs, said Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas in a Thursday X post.

The new fund garnered over $250 million in inflows during its first trading day, surpassing the recent inflows of all other crypto ETFs.

Part of the reason behind the successful launch was the ETF’s in-kind creation model, according to ETF analyst Nate Geraci.

“A few people asking how it’s possible to have ‘only’ $59mil trading volume, but nearly $250mil inflows… The answer? In-kind creations, which don’t show up in trading volume,” wrote Geraci in a Thursday X post.

The in-kind redemption model enables the creation and redemption of ETF shares through the underlying asset, as opposed to cash-only transaction models. In this case, Canary Capital’s ETF shares can be exchanged for XRP tokens.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved in-kind creation and redemption for cryptocurrency ETFs on July 29, Cointelegraph reported at the time.

The launch of the ETF inspired a bullish rotation among the industry’s most successful traders, as tracked by returns and labeled as “smart money” traders on the crypto intelligence platform Nansen.
