U.S. spot ETFs
Net assets (AUM) in U.S. spot XRP ETFs have reached $1.11 billion, meaning funds now control a record 1.26% of the token's total market capitalization, according to fresh data from SoSoValue. While market participants remain focused on the "stonewall" $1.5 resistance level that XRP has failed to break for several months, tectonic shifts are taking place in the asset's ownership structure.
Despite cumulative ETF inflows reaching $1.32 billion, XRP price continues its prolonged sideways drift inside a range of $1.3-$1.5 for 75 days already, suggesting that ETFs are not moving the price "here and now".
Why record $1.1 billion in XRP ETF assets haven't triggered the $1.50 breakout yet
Statistics from November-December 2025 prove this thesis clearly. Even as record inflows accounted for the majority of the current $1.32 billion cumulative volume, XRP price still managed to decline by 27%.
In this context, the removal of 1.26% of the supply from free circulation effectively creates a launchpad for buying momentum, not in itself. If an active risk-on phase begins and these coins remain locked inside ETFs, the absence of this supply on exchanges could provide XRP with a much easier and more powerful upside move.

A similar situation was observed in January 2026, when XRP price rallied by the same 27%.
It is worth acknowledging that the April-May ETF excitement totaling $110 million appears moderate and prompts the thought that the current ETF rally is not about immediate price growth, but about strengthening the fundamental floor beneath XRP.
