U.S.-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are setting themselves apart from the rest of the crypto ETF market.
Since their debut on Nov. 13, XRP-linked products have recorded 30 consecutive trading days of net inflows, a streak unmatched by spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) ETFs over the same period.
Data from SoSoValue shows that XRP spot ETFs attracted fresh capital every trading session since launch, lifting cumulative net inflows to roughly $975 million as of Dec. 12.
Total net assets across the products climbed to about $1.18 billion, with no single day of net redemptions recorded.
The consistency stands out in a market where even the largest crypto ETFs have struggled to maintain steady momentum.

Bitcoin and Ether ETFs see stop-start flows
By comparison, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, which together account for the vast majority of crypto ETF assets, have experienced a choppier period.
Both categories logged multiple days of outflows in recent weeks as investors reacted to shifting interest-rate expectations, equity-market volatility, and renewed concerns over technology-sector valuations.
Bitcoin ETFs, often treated as a proxy for broader liquidity conditions, saw sharp inflow and outflow swings as macro signals changed.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $3.39 billion in net outflows between Nov. 13 and Dec. 12, with the highest daily outflow being recorded on Nov. 20 with $903.11 million.
Ether ETFs followed a similar pattern, reflecting their closer correlation with risk assets and growth stocks.
U.S.-listed ETH ETFs recorded approximately $1.26 billion in net outflows between Nov. 13 and Dec. 12. The largest single-day outflow for U.S. spot Ether ETFs also occurred on Nov. 20, when funds recorded approximately $261.6 million in net redemptions.

Structural demand over tactical trading
The divergence suggests that XRP ETFs may be attracting a different type of investor. Rather than serving as short-term trading vehicles, the products appear to be used more as structural allocations within diversified portfolios, according to CoinDesk .
On Dec. 8, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse pointed out how U.S. spot ETFs tied to XRP have become the fastest offering to hit $1 billion in assets under management (AUM) since Ethereum (ETH) ETFs.
"There's pent up demand for regulated crypto products, and with Vanguard opening up access in traditional retirement / trading accounts for Americans..crypto is now accessible to millions more people who don't need to be experts in the technology."
Market participants point to XRP's role in payments and settlement infrastructure as a key differentiator, particularly for investors seeking regulated exposure beyond the two largest cryptocurrencies.
On Nov. 20, Bitwise's XRP ETF officially went live on the New York Stock Exchange. It created a milestone after years of regulatory uncertainty tied to Ripple's long-running dispute with the U.S. SEC.
Back in July, Teucrium Trading CEO Sal Gilbertie appeared on CNBC and discussed the firm's decision to launch an XRP spot ETF and its push to be one of the first issuers in the space. In April 8, 2025, his firm introduced the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF.
"As an ETF issuer we don't actually see who buys our things directly. We have to design a product that we think there is demand for. And we very much suspect and knew that there is demand for XRP and demand for tradable XRP products where people can get aggressive. And this [XRP ETF] is an aggressive product."
