Income-Hungry Traders Pile Into XRP Options Play as Amplify’s XRPM Pulls in Fresh Cash

The Amplify XRP 3% Monthly Premium Income ETF, XRPM, drew a sizable influx of capital on January 07, 2026, with latest net fund flows of $2,016,712. The move lifted the options-writing fund’s war chest to $7,504,544 in assets under management (AUM), meaning roughly 26.9% of its total capital base turned over in a single day—an unusually large swing that underscores growing appetite for yield-focused XRP exposure.

XRPM’s design aims to generate a steady 3% monthly premium by writing options on XRP, offering investors a way to earn income even in choppy or directionless markets. The latest surge in flows suggests that investors may be leaning into that strategy as they navigate a volatile backdrop for XRP itself, using the ETF as a covered-call-style play rather than a straightforward directional bet.

The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading around $2.06165. Over the past three months, XRP has shed about 21.5% of its value, reflecting persistent selling pressure and profit-taking after earlier rallies. Short-term momentum remains weak, with the 1-day technical signal flashing a cautious Sell, highlighting the tension between falling spot prices and rising demand for income-generating derivatives exposure.

For now, XRPM’s pronounced inflows indicate that a segment of the market is willing to look past near-term technical softness in XRP in favor of option premium income. Whether that bet pays off will depend on how long the current downtrend in XRP persists—and how much volatility remains available for the fund to harvest.
