U.S. spot XRP ETFs posted their first net outflow day since listing in mid-November. Data tracked by SoSoValue showed that the group recorded $40.8 million in net outflows on Jan. 7, snapping a run of uninterrupted inflows that had lasted for nearly two months.
Before that break, XRP funds had stood out as the cleanest inflow story among major crypto ETFs. The streak helped lift cumulative inflows to $1.2 billion, while total net assets reached about $1.53 billion, equal to roughly 1.16% of XRP’s market capitalization. That steady demand had become part of the market case for XRP, especially as the token outperformed in early 2026 while broader markets stayed rangebound.
A single fund redemption drove the negative reading
The outflow day was not a uniform pullback across the entire ETF group. Most XRP ETFs still posted small inflows or flat flows. The negative headline came almost entirely from 21Shares’ TOXR, which saw a $47.25 million redemption.
Other issuers, including Canary, Bitwise, and Grayscale, remained modestly positive on the day. Total trading value across the ETF complex came in at $33.74 million, a sign of active trading, though not one that pointed to broad market panic.
Why traders are watching the next few sessions closely
The context has mattered because spot bitcoin and ether ETFs both saw outflow days soon after launch, while XRP had avoided that pattern since November. That made its inflow streak unusual and gave daily ETF flow data extra weight in the market narrative.
The report noted that a redemption in one fund can reflect portfolio rebalancing, tax and allocation changes, or market maker inventory management rather than a wider drop in investor demand. Even so, XRP has rallied sharply into the new year, and traders are treating daily ETF flow prints as a live signal of whether demand is still absorbing supply or beginning to cool.
