The Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF, ticker XRPI, saw notable redemptions on December 18, 2025, with capital outflows of $3,154,388. The move shaved roughly 2.30% off the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which now stand at $137.33 million, underscoring a cautious shift among traders toward Ripple’s XRP exposure.
The pullback in XRPI flows comes against a challenging backdrop for the underlying token. The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading at $1.946 and has shed about 33.54% over the past three months, reflecting mounting pressure on sentiment after a previously strong run-up. Short-term signals remain fragile as well, with the 1-day technical outlook flashing a bearish tone at Sell.
The combination of a steep three-month price decline and a negative near-term technical signal appears to be prompting ETF investors to reduce risk, even as overall AUM remains sizable. While XRPI still represents a substantial vehicle for institutional-style access to XRP, the latest outflow suggests that some market participants are rotating capital away from higher-volatility crypto exposures amid uncertainty over the token’s next directional move.
