Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has drawn attention to a significant development in the institutional adoption of XRP. Citing a recent CoinDesk report, Garlinghouse highlighted the strong performance of XRP spot exchange-traded funds since their market debut. The data suggests institutional investors are buying more XRP, even with market uncertainty.
XRP Spot ETFs Achieve 30 Consecutive Days of Net Inflows
Since launching on November 13, 2025, XRP spot ETFs have recorded 30 straight days of net inflows, an achievement rarely seen among newly launched crypto investment products.
Over this period, cumulative inflows have approached $1 billion, reflecting consistent capital allocation rather than sporadic speculative entries. Assets under management have also expanded to approximately $1.18 billion, underscoring the depth and persistence of institutional participation.

XRP ETFs Stand Apart From Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds
The sustained inflow streak into XRP ETFs contrasts sharply with trends observed in Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. During the same timeframe, both BTC and ETH funds have experienced intermittent outflows as investors reacted to macroeconomic pressure and heightened volatility.
XRP’s divergence suggests institutions are treating it as a distinct asset class, driven more by utility-based fundamentals than by broader crypto market cycles.
Institutions Signal Long-Term Conviction in XRP’s Utility
Institutional demand for XRP ETFs points to growing confidence in XRP’s role within the global payment and settlement infrastructure. Investors appear to be positioning around Ripple’s expanding enterprise footprint and XRP’s efficiency in cross-border value transfers.
Rather than chasing short-term price movements, ETF inflows suggest strategic accumulation aligned with long-term adoption expectations.

XRP Price Weakness Highlights Market Disconnect
Despite strong ETF inflows, XRP’s spot price has declined over the same period. This divergence highlights a disconnect between institutional demand and short-term market pricing.
Such behavior often reflects broader liquidity conditions, derivatives-driven volatility, or temporary retail sentiment shifts, rather than a deterioration in underlying demand fundamentals.
ETF Accumulation Raises Supply Shock Risk
As XRP flows into ETFs, a growing portion of the circulating supply becomes effectively locked away in custodial structures. This gradual reduction in liquid supply can tighten market conditions over time.
If ETF inflows continue while spot demand stabilizes or rises, the imbalance could set the stage for a delayed supply shock, historically a catalyst for sharp price revaluations in digital asset markets.
Broader Market Implications
The sustained performance of XRP spot ETFs reinforces the asset’s evolving institutional profile. While price action remains subdued in the short term, structural demand continues to build beneath the surface.
For market participants, the divergence between ETF flows and price may represent an early signal of changing supply-demand dynamics rather than a sign of weakness.
