Xrp Etfs Notch First Outflows As Nearly $600m Exits Bitcoin, Ether... (2026)
XRP ETFs logged their first net outflow day since launch, breaking a multi-week inflow streak after more than $1 billion poured into the funds.
US spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their first net outflow day since launch, with about $40.8 million exiting the products on Wednesday, ending a multi-week streak of uninterrupted inflows.
SoSoValue data shows that the pullback marked the first daily reversal after XRP (XRP) ETFs had steadily accumulated assets since mid-November 2025. The outflow day also followed a strong start to the year, with the funds logging consecutive inflow days, pushing their cumulative net inflows to $1.2 billion.
The red day coincided with heavy selling pressure across major crypto-linked ETFs. Farside Investors data shows that spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs posted $486 million in outflows on Wednesday, their biggest net outflow day since November. Spot Ether (ETH) ETFs also flipped negative on Wednesday, recording $98 million in net outflows.
Despite its first outflow day, XRP ETFs remain some of the strongest-performing crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), with total net assets still hovering above $1.5 billion.
During the opening trading days of the year, ETF flows have diverged sharply by asset class. Spot BTC ETFs started January with sizable inflows of $471 million on Friday and $697 million on Monday before the reversals of $243 million in outflows on Tuesday and the heftier $486 million drawdown on Wednesday.
Spot ETH ETFs recorded a similar pattern. The funds posted inflows of $174 million on Friday, $168 million on Monday, and $114 million on Tuesday before Wednesday’s $98 million in outflows.
Smaller crypto ETFs have performed better. Spot Solana (SOL) ETFs continued to attract capital, recording modest but consistent inflows during the first trading days of January.
Chainlink (LINK) ETFs shifted to flat flows on Wednesday after several days of modest inflows ranging from $822,000 to $2.2 million.
Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) ETFs recorded no net movement on Tuesday and Wednesday after starting the year strong with $2.3 million and $1.6 million in inflows on Friday and on Monday.
