XRP ETFs have attracted $1.4 billion since their launch in the fall of 2025. However, this has not yet led to an increase in the value of the asset itself. Goldman Sachs is currently the largest public holder with $153 million. Despite steady inflows, the price of XRP remains under pressure, having fallen nearly 30% since the beginning of the year.

XRP and Ethereum both experienced significant declines in early 2026, with XRP stabilizing around $1.40 after a 45% drop, while Ethereum's trading price hovered around $2000, well below the peak of nearly $4950 in August 2025. Despite the price plunge, since November 2025, XRP spot ETFs have attracted approximately $1.24 billion in net capital inflows, while Ethereum ETFs saw about $1.2 billion in net outflows during the same period. Analysts point out that due to XRP's smaller market cap, institutional capital inflows may have a greater impact on its price movement compared to Ethereum.
