Ethereum ETFs Lead with $164 Million in Net Inflows
Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds experienced substantial net inflows on January 15, totaling approximately $164 million, according to daily flow data from major U.S. issuers. This marked one of the strongest single-day inflow performances for Ethereum ETFs this month. The significant gains were primarily driven by BlackRock's ETHA, which attracted around $149 million, and Grayscale's Ethereum product, which added approximately $15 million. The majority of other listed Ethereum ETFs showed flat activity during the trading session, indicating that the inflows were concentrated among a few key funds.
The January 15 performance followed a period of volatile trading earlier in the month, during which Ethereum ETFs witnessed alternating periods of sharp inflows and outflows. Despite this fluctuating pattern, the cumulative net inflows across all Ethereum spot ETFs have now surpassed nearly $12.9 billion, underscoring sustained institutional interest since their launch. The data also suggests that recent inflows have not been driven by broad participation from smaller issuers, pointing towards selective positioning by investors rather than a widespread market surge.
XRP ETFs Record $17 Million in Daily Inflows
In parallel, U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded net inflows of $17.06 million on January 15, based on market data tracking daily fund activity. These inflows have pushed the cumulative net inflows for XRP ETFs to approximately $1.27 billion. The total net assets across XRP ETFs have reached roughly $1.51 billion, which represents about 1.21% of XRP's overall market capitalization. Trading activity remained moderate, with the total value traded during the session hovering near $22 million.
Investor participation varied across different issuers, reflecting uneven engagement. Bitwise's XRP ETF led the day's inflows with $7.16 million, closely followed by Grayscale's GXRP, which secured $7.20 million. Franklin Templeton's XRPZ contributed an additional $3.36 million, while Canary's XRPC experienced an outflow of $659,000. Meanwhile, 21Shares' TOXR reported no change in its net flow for the day.
Despite the positive fund flows, XRP ETF prices saw a decline, mirroring the broader market downturn. Most XRP ETF products closed lower on the session, with daily price drops ranging between 3% and 4%. Nevertheless, the assets under management remained steady. This divergence between inflows and price movement suggests ongoing allocation into XRP ETFs, even as short-term market pressures impacted prices.
