Five U.S.-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds collected $25.8 million in net inflows on Monday, marking the largest single-day haul since January 5. The same day, spot Ether ETFs saw nearly $17 million walk out the door, according to data compiled by market trackers.
XRP funds draw capital
Monday’s inflow into the XRP funds was the biggest daily total in more than two months. The five funds, which track the price of XRP directly, have been trading since a batch of approvals from the Securities and Exchange Commission late last year. The $25.8 million figure covers all U.S.-listed spot XRP products combined — a category that includes offerings from issuers such as Bitwise, 21Shares, and Grayscale. It's unclear what drove Monday’s spike; no major regulatory or corporate announcements tied to XRP surfaced that day.
Ether ETFs see outflows
On the other side of the ledger, spot Ether ETFs lost a combined $16.8 million on Monday. The outflows were spread across several funds, with no single product dominating the redemptions. Ether ETFs have had a rocky start to 2025, with intermittent days of outflows interrupting what had been a steady accumulation through late 2024. Monday’s figures reverse a modest inflow trend seen the prior week.
What the numbers mean
The diverging flows show that investor appetite for crypto ETFs remains uneven. XRP’s rally in late 2024 and ongoing legal clarity — the SEC dropped its long-running case against Ripple in October — likely helped the token’s funds attract steady interest. Ether, meanwhile, faces headwinds from a crowded field of competing protocols and lingering uncertainty about how the SEC will treat staking products tied to the blockchain.
The $25.8 million inflow into XRP funds is still a fraction of the billions that flow into Bitcoin and Ether ETFs on their best days. But it signals that a niche asset is carving out a consistent, if modest, investor base. Monday's data also underscores how quickly sentiment can shift: XRP funds had seen just $3 million in net inflows the previous trading day.
Both sets of funds will report fresh data Tuesday afternoon. Traders will watch whether the XRP inflow holds or reverses, and whether Ether ETFs can halt their losing streak.
