- XRP ETFs absorb $46,000,000 as institutional demand strengthens during price surge
- ETF inflows and Ripple wallet movements place XRP at market center
- XRP jumps 9.67% to $2.35 amid heavy one day institutional buying
Trading activity around XRP picked up noticeably as fresh data pointed to a large concentration of buying within a single session. The move drew attention after institutional investors added $46,000,000 worth of XRP through U.S. spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as prices climbed.
According to Whale Insider on X, the full $46,000,000 inflow was recorded in one day as of January 5, pushing total XRP ETF-held net assets to $1,650,000,000 ($1.65 billion), underlining expanding regulated exposure. During the same period, XRP advanced to $2.35, marking a 9.67% increase within 24 hours.
The price move developed alongside ETF inflows, suggesting demand strengthened as capital entered the market. Meanwhile, broader ETF data showed cumulative net inflows reaching $1,230,000,000. Trading activity stayed consistent, with total value traded across XRP ETFs reported at $72,230,000.

ETF Buying Activity Signals Broader Institutional Participation
Notably, ETF inflows were spread across several issuers rather than concentrated in one product, pointing to wider institutional engagement across the XRP ETF market. The Nasdaq-listed XRPC fund sponsored by Canary held the largest allocation, with net assets of $407,010,000 supported by cumulative inflows of $383,940,000.
Alongside that, ETFs managed by Bitwise, Franklin, Grayscale, and 21Shares reported sizable holdings, with each fund holding between $294,000,000 and $325,000,000 in net assets. Importantly, internal fund data confirmed physical XRP accumulation, as several ETFs added millions of XRP tokens through direct spot market purchases.

As a result, XRP held within ETFs now represents about 1.17% of its total market capitalization, highlighting the growing influence of regulated investment vehicles on supply dynamics.
Ripple Wallet Transfer Adds Context to Market Activity
Alongside ETF inflows, blockchain data revealed a significant internal XRP transfer linked to Ripple, as 36Crypto reported, a movement valued at approximately $663,800,000 between company-controlled wallets.
Ledger data confirmed that exactly 300,000,000 XRP transferred in a single transaction on the XRP Ledger, with both the sending and receiving addresses carrying long-standing Ripple labels tied to internal operations.
The transaction did not involve any exchange-linked wallets, as funds moved directly between Ripple-controlled addresses without intermediary routing. Records showed the full 300,000,000 XRP reached the destination wallet, while the transfer relied on a multi-signature approval process involving three authorized signers.
Overall, the $46,000,000 single-day ETF inflow coincided with a 9.67% price increase to $2.35 within 24 hours, keeping XRP firmly in focus as institutional exposure continued to expand.
