United States spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded one of their strongest weekly performances since launching, accumulating more than $170 million in net inflows with no registered outflows across the major issuers. 

In this line, over the past five reported trading days, inflows reached approximately $173 million, led by notable allocations into the Franklin XRP ETF and the Grayscale XRP Trust, according to data retrieved by Finbold from Coinglass. 

The most notable day came on December 1, when total flows soared to nearly $90 million, driven primarily by a single-session addition of more than $52 million into the Grayscale product and more than $28 million into the Franklin fund. 

December 8 also delivered a strong showing as combined inflows topped $38 million, reflecting steady institutional accumulation.

Despite these sizable inflows, XRP’s price has not responded in a manner typically associated with such demand. The token has remained range-bound near the $2 level, weighed down by broader cryptocurrency market uncertainty and persistent selling from larger holders. 

XRP price analysis 

By press time, XRP was trading at $2.07 having corrected by about 0.5% in the past 24 hours while on the weekly timeline, the asset has plunged almost 4%. 

Recent analysis indicates that the muted price reaction stems partly from how XRP ETF issuers acquire the underlying asset. Much of the buying happens through over-the-counter channels rather than public exchanges, so the demand does not immediately impact visible order books. 

At the same time, profit-taking by long-time investors offsets institutional inflows, creating a short-term disconnect between ETF demand and spot-market movement.

Even so, total ETF assets under management are already nearing the billion-dollar mark, marking one of the fastest adoption trajectories for a new crypto ETF category. 

While this strengthens XRP’s long-term outlook, the near-term picture remains uncertain, with markets watching whether strong inflow momentum can overcome weak sentiment and push the token above resistance levels such as $2.5.
