XRP ETFs turn to first monthly outflow after $1.2B inflows

XRP ETFs are on track for their first monthly net outflow since launch. SoSoValue data show the four XRP funds logged about $28 million in net redemptions in March, while CoinShares reports XRP-linked global funds were the worst-performing asset class, with $130 million in net outflows. The reversal follows a strong initial phase that drove cumulative net inflows to roughly $1.2 billion over four months. Crypto traders should note this does not necessarily mean institutions are abandoning XRP—ETF flows can cool while broader allocations and infrastructure build-outs continue. The institutional case remains supported by Goldman Sachs exposure disclosed in an SEC filing (more than $152 million across four spot XRP ETFs). Separately, a Coinbase/EY-Parthenon survey of 351 institutional investors found 18% already allocated to XRP, and 25% planned to add in 2026; 73% planned to increase digital-asset allocations, citing regulatory clarity and compliance frameworks. Ripple’s strategy may also explain near-term ETF flow volatility. Ripple is expanding beyond a single payments narrative with offerings spanning payments, custody, stablecoins, treasury tools and prime brokerage. It has also emphasized XRPL’s compliance tooling, permissioned environments, and tokenization activity for a more institution-friendly market. XRPL’s stablecoin volume has reportedly surpassed $1B monthly (RWA.xyz). Market angle: XRP price is cited around $1.40, with derivatives leverage reportedly falling (CryptoQuant), suggesting a less crowded positioning setup. Traders may watch whether ETF outflows prove temporary and whether spot/perps demand strengthens alongside XRPL and Ripple infrastructure momentum. Keywords: XRP ETF, XRP ETFs, XRP.
