The Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF, XRPI, recorded fresh outflows of $1.76 million on January 8, 2026, trimming its assets under management to roughly $151.8 million. The latest redemption wave represents about 1.16% of the fund’s AUM, a modest but noticeable pullback that hints at growing investor caution around XRP-linked exposure after a choppy quarter for the underlying token.
The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading around $2.0896, having shed about 11% over the past three months. Despite that decline, short-term momentum has not broken decisively in either direction, with the 1-day technical outlook flashing a guarded Hold signal. That combination of medium-term weakness and neutral near-term technicals helps explain why some ETF investors are trimming risk rather than exiting outright.
Flows of this size are unlikely to materially destabilize XRPI, but they do underscore how sensitive ETF holders have become to volatility and regulatory headlines in the broader crypto complex. If XRP’s price can stabilize or reclaim lost ground, these outflows could prove temporary; if selling pressure persists, XRPI may face continued incremental redemptions as investors rebalance toward more diversified or less volatile crypto exposures.
