XRP ETF Hits $1 Billion Mark
XRP’s progress stands out for its pace. The token is now the quickest to achieve this level of AUM since spot Ethereum products entered the market.
👀<4 weeks, and XRP is now the fastest crypto Spot ETF to reach $1B in AUM (since ETH) in the US.
With over 40 crypto ETFs launched this year in the US alone, a few points are obvious to me:
1/ there’s pent up demand for regulated crypto products, and with Vanguard opening up…

Investors have shifted toward ETFs as a preferred route for exposure, and more than forty crypto ETF products have been approved this year across leading issuers. Market participants view this as evidence of structural acceptance of digital assets in mainstream portfolios, especially as gateways for retirement investing and long term asset allocation continue to open.
Vanguard’s move to introduce crypto trading infrastructure for standard retirement and brokerage accounts is widening access to retail users who may have avoided direct crypto ownership. Millions of new market participants are entering through traditional channels rather than self custody or technical interfaces. Garlinghouse remarked that many new holders remain outside on chain participation. He said stability and community values are increasingly relevant for this new cohort.
Market inflow data reflects a similar trend. As of 09 December, Nasdaq Canary (XRPC) recorded 6.08 million dollars in net inflows. Grayscale’s GXRP reported 1.23 million dollars and Bitwise XRP captured 1.42 million dollars. These steady additions helped bring the combined total toward the billion dollar line.
XRP is trading at two dollars and eight cents at present. The asset moved 1.1 percent higher in the past twenty four hours. Chart watchers indicate that a sustained hold near this range may open a path toward two dollars forty one cents, followed by potential extension toward two dollars sixty five cents. The trader known as CasiTrades wrote that targets between seven and ten dollars could follow if the bullish structure continues. Analysts who share this view believe the long term pattern could support an extended rally period once near term resistance breaks.
Interest in crypto ETFs is not limited to XRP. Bitcoin spot funds reported 152 million dollars in combined net inflows this week. Fidelity’s FBTC contributed the largest share at 199 million dollars. Ethereum spot ETFs pulled 178 million dollars in inflows, with Fidelity’s FETH at 51.47 million dollars. Solana ETF products registered 16.54 million dollars in net additions. Bitwise’s SOL fund, known as BSOL, attracted 7.78 million dollars in a single session.
Broader sentiment across the digital asset market remains tilted toward accumulation as traders prepare for the final Federal Reserve interest rate decision of the year. The consensus expectation centers around a possible twenty five basis point reduction or a policy statement signaling relief ahead. Many traders are positioning for increased liquidity. Some remain wary that a cautious stance from central bankers may lead to profit taking in the short run.
Riya Sehgal, research analyst at Delta Exchange, referenced Ethereum’s recent momentum as an indicator of institutional activity. She highlighted falling exchange reserves, now estimated at 8.7 percent of the circulating supply, along with daily staking inflows near forty thousand ETH. Sehgal noted that a supportive signal from the Fed could accelerate capital inflow across leading tokens. She added that a more defensive tone from policymakers could slow that trend temporarily. The current mood remains steady and hopeful as traders wait for monetary clarity.
Bitcoin faces a key technical level that may influence the next trend. Aurelie Barthere of Nansen stated that Bitcoin may continue to consolidate around present pricing after the Federal Open Market Committee announcement. Market participants have focused attention on the ninety one thousand dollar resistance zone as a marker for continued upward movement.
