Ethereum Spot ETFs Pull $164M as XRP Adds $17M Despite Price Dips

Ethereum Sees $164M ETF Inflows on Jan. 15

Ethereum spot exchange traded funds recorded about $164 million in net inflows on Jan. 15, according to daily flow data across major U.S. issuers. The gains marked one of the stronger single day inflow totals this month, driven mainly by BlackRock’s ETHA, which added roughly $149 million, while Grayscale’s ETH product contributed about $15 million. Most other listed Ethereum ETFs reported flat activity during the session, showing that inflows remained concentrated in a small number of funds.

The Jan. 15 result followed several volatile sessions earlier in the month, when Ethereum ETFs alternated between sharp inflows and outflows. Despite that uneven pattern, cumulative net inflows across all Ethereum spot ETFs have climbed to nearly $12.9 billion, highlighting sustained institutional interest since launch. The data also show that recent inflows came without broad participation from smaller issuers, suggesting selective positioning rather than a market wide surge.

XRP ETFs Add $17M in Daily Inflows

Meanwhile, U.S. spot XRP exchange traded funds recorded $17.06 million in net inflows on Jan. 15, according to market data tracking daily fund activity. The inflows lifted cumulative net inflows to about $1.27 billion, while total net assets across XRP ETFs reached roughly $1.51 billion, representing about 1.21% of XRP’s market capitalization. Trading activity remained moderate, with total value traded near $22 million during the session.

Flows varied across issuers, showing uneven participation. Bitwise’s XRP ETF led daily inflows with $7.16 million, followed closely by Grayscale’s GXRP, which added $7.20 million. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ contributed $3.36 million, while Canary’s XRPC posted a $659,000 outflow. Meanwhile, 21Shares’ TOXR reported no change on the day, keeping its daily net flow flat.

Despite the positive fund flows, XRP ETF prices declined alongside the broader market. Most products closed lower on the session, with daily price drops ranging between 3% and 4%, even as assets under management held steady. The divergence between inflows and price movement suggests continued allocation into XRP ETFs, even as short term market pressure weighed on prices.
