The Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF, ticker XRPI, closed out 2025 with a notable bout of profit-taking, recording outflows of $2.37 million on December 31, 2025. The latest redemption represents roughly 1.76% of the fund’s $134.93 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful but not destabilizing move that suggests investors are reassessing risk as the year ends.
The withdrawal caps a volatile period for the XRP-linked product, which has ridden sharp swings in sentiment around Ripple’s native token. While XRPI’s AUM remains comfortably above the $100 million threshold often watched by institutional allocators, the size of the latest outflow hints at growing caution among traders who had previously embraced leveraged exposure to XRP’s price action.
The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading at $2.08, having shed about 31.3% over the past three months. That retreat follows an earlier rally that left the token vulnerable to profit-taking and macro-driven risk-off moves. Despite the recent slide, XRP’s short-term setup is not flashing a clear directional bias, with the 1-day technical signal sitting at Hold, underscoring a market caught between dip buyers and sellers locking in gains.
For now, the year-end outflows from XRPI look more like portfolio housekeeping than a wholesale repudiation of XRP exposure. But if price pressure persists into the new year, fund flows may become a more sensitive barometer of whether speculative capital is returning to, or retreating from, the XRP trade.
