U.S. spot XRP ETFs just recorded their first net outflow after 36 straight inflow days, raising questions over whether the record streak is pausing or ending.

U.S. spot exchange-traded funds tracking XRP cryptocurrency recorded their first net outflow on Jan. 7, ending a 36-day streak of continuous inflows, according to data from SoSoValue.

XRP breaks inflow streak

The five XRP (XRP) ETFs experienced net redemptions on Jan. 7, marking a reversal from the previous trading sessions. On Jan. 6, the funds recorded net inflows, while Jan. 5 saw larger inflows, according to the data.

Total net inflows across the ETF complex remain near recent highs despite the single-day outflow, sitting only modestly below the peak reached earlier in the week, the data showed.

The Jan. 7 outflow represented the largest single-day reversal in the recent period, though it remained small relative to cumulative capital inflows since the ETFs began trading, according to SoSoValue.

Market analysts have noted that extended inflow streaks in ETF products often experience brief consolidation phases as traders adjust positions or realize profits. Whether the outflow represents a temporary pause or the beginning of sustained redemptions remains unclear.

The ETFs maintain a net-positive position on a cumulative basis. Continued outflows across multiple trading sessions could indicate reduced institutional demand, while a resumption of inflows would suggest the Jan. 7 data represents a brief interruption in the accumulation pattern, according to market observers.
