The Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF, ticker XRPI, recorded net outflows of $833,770 on January 16, 2026, a move that shaved roughly 0.56% off its $149.1 million in assets under management. While the redemption is modest in percentage terms, it signals a cautious turn among investors after a volatile stretch for XRP-linked products.
The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading at $2.0612, having shed about 11.7% over the past three months. That negative three-month performance is now echoed in near-term technicals, with the 1-day signal flashing a bearish tone at Sell. The combination of short-term technical weakness and recent price underperformance appears to be prompting some investors to lock in gains or cut risk, even as the ETF’s overall AUM base remains solid.
Still, the latest outflow represents a relatively small slice of XRPI’s capital pool, suggesting repositioning rather than a full-scale exit from XRP exposure. Market participants will be watching whether continued selling pressure in XRP-USD deepens the outflow trend or if risk appetite returns on any signs of stabilization in digital asset markets.
