Spot XRP exchange-traded funds listed in the United States continued to attract capital through December despite heightened volatility across the wider crypto market.

The inflow streak for XRP ETFs reached 29 consecutive days, defying the broader year-end slowdown seen in other digital asset funds.

Data from SoSoValue showed XRP ETFs recorded $8.44 million in net inflows on Monday alone.

Cumulative inflows into spot XRP ETFs have reached approximately $1.15 billion since their launch.

Total net assets across XRP ETF products now stand at around $1.24 billion.

XRP prices faced selling pressure during December, but ETF demand remained resilient.

XRP inflows are a function of regulatory clarity and steady accumulation into a less crowded trade, than BTC/ETH.

Vincent Liu said.

Liu added that XRP’s role in cross-border settlement offers differentiated exposure for longer-term investors.

Inflows moderated from earlier December peaks when daily additions ranged between $30 million and $40 million.

Despite this slowdown, XRP ETFs continued to post consistent gains into the final week of the month.

XRP-focused funds have attracted roughly $478 million in net inflows during December.

In contrast, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced sustained outflows throughout the month.

Bitcoin ETF products recorded more than $1.1 billion in net outflows during December.

The largest single-day Bitcoin ETF withdrawal occurred on December 15, when $357.7 million exited the market.

Selling pressure persisted through the second half of the month despite occasional inflow days.

Spot Ether ETFs followed a similar trajectory to Bitcoin funds during December.

Ether ETF products posted approximately $612 million in net outflows over the month.

The sharpest Ether ETF drawdown occurred on December 15, with $224.8 million withdrawn in one session.

Another significant Ether ETF outflow followed on December 16 as volatility remained elevated.

Expect BTC to trade in a broad, range-bound bull market profile with continued institutional positioning and macro sensitivity, while ETH may capture stronger fundamental upside tied to network adoption and real-world utility, potentially outpacing BTC.

Vincent Liu said.

A recent Glassnode report noted that the 30-day moving average of net flows into US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs has stayed negative since early November.

The data suggested muted participation and a contraction in overall crypto market liquidity.

Liu said Bitcoin ETF outflows during the Christmas period were consistent with historical seasonal patterns.

As desks return in early January, institutional flows typically re-engage and normalize.

Analysts said XRP’s relative stability highlights diverging investor preferences across crypto ETF products.

At the time of reporting, XRP price was $1.87.
