  1. XRP ETFs Attract $1.8B Inflows Despite Market Pressure on XRP Price
  2. XRP ETFs Surpass $1.8B Inflows Amid $375M in Unrealized Losses — this brief

U.S. XRP exchange-traded funds have collectively attracted $1.81 billion in net inflows since November 2025, according to data from Crypto Economy and U.Today. This significant capital inflow highlights strong institutional interest in XRP despite the broader market downturn.

The current assets under management for these XRP ETFs stand at approximately $1.5 billion. However, an estimation model cited by Crypto Economy indicates that these funds are facing unrealized losses of $375.5 million, which equates to 21.3% of the positions analyzed.

The average entry price for XRP in these ETFs is estimated at $1.72 per token, significantly higher than the current market price of $1.31. This discrepancy underscores the market volatility and the challenges faced by investors in the current environment.

In contrast, Ethereum ETFs saw a modest return to net inflows on October 21, with a $14.9 million gain, as reported by NewsBTC. This gain was driven by Grayscale and Fidelity, while BlackRock's ETHA fund continued to experience withdrawals. This divergence in performance between XRP and Ethereum ETFs reflects the varying investor sentiments and market dynamics within the crypto sector.

The broader crypto market remains under pressure, with the total market cap at $2.79 trillion and Bitcoin down 3.96% in the last 24 hours. XRP itself is trading at $1.31, representing a 4.67% decline in the same period. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 68, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.
