</ul>
<p>U.S.-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds have seen their first day of outflows on January 7th,&nbsp; since their launch in November 2025, showing a strong institutional investors shift after consistent inflows, even in times of the major cryptos, including BTC and ETH ETFs, post outflows.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-xrp-spot" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SoSoValue</a> data, on Wednesday, the U.S. spot XRP Exchange fund saw around $40.8 million flows in negative, after a multi-week period of inflows without any interruption.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Among the multiple XRP exchange-traded funds, 21Shares(TOXR) has posted $47.25 million outflows, while others saw small inflows. Where Bitwise (XRP) saw $2.44 million inflows, Canary(XRPC) saw&nbsp; $2.32 million inflows, Grayscale(GXRP) recorded $1.69 million inflows, but there was no net movement seen in the Franklin (XRPZ) ETF.</p>
<p>&nbsp;As of Tuesday, the cumulative total net inflow was around $1.25 billion; for the first time, it went down and stands at $1.20 billion, as the last XRP ETF activity suggests a more cautious stance among institutional investors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Solana ETFs posted positive flows of&nbsp; $1.97 million, where it continues its streak since its launch in late October 2025 without any outflows.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With that, XRP price is also trading down, which is more than 6% down today and trading at $2.09 at the time of writing. The 24-hour trading volume has declined more than 29%, reaching $4.28 billion. Also, according to <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/liquidations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinglass</a> data, in the last 24 hours, XRP saw $22.53 million in total liquidations, most of which came from long positions totalling $21.75 million. With that, broadly, XRP market movements indicate a pause in momentum rather than a definitive trend reversal.</p>
