Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF’s XRPI closed out 2025 with a notable bout of outflows, as investors withdrew $2.37 million on December 31. The move represents roughly 1.76% of the fund’s $134.93 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful but not destabilizing shift that hints at growing caution around XRP-linked products after a volatile quarter.
The latest redemption caps a tough three-month stretch for the underlying asset, XRP-USD, which is currently trading at $2.1417 and has dropped about 30.9% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, short-term momentum remains indecisive rather than outright bearish, with the 1-day technical signal sitting at Hold, suggesting traders are waiting for a clearer directional cue before committing fresh capital.
The scale of the latest outflow, while not extreme relative to AUM, underscores how quickly sentiment can shift in crypto-linked ETFs when underlying prices slide and macro risk appetite cools. Yet the fact that less than 2% of AUM was redeemed in a single session also indicates that a sizable core of investors is staying put, potentially positioning XRPI as a vehicle for those betting on a medium-term recovery in XRP despite near-term turbulence.
