Canary XRP ETF’s XRPC recorded a fresh bout of redemptions on January 15, 2026, with investors pulling out $686,106 from the fund. The outflow is relatively small against its sizeable $374.53 million in assets under management (AUM), representing roughly 0.18% of capital, but it underscores a cautious tone creeping into the XRP trade after a choppy quarter.
The fund’s AUM remains robust despite the latest move, suggesting that core holders are largely staying put while more tactical participants take risk off the table. For an ETF focused on a single, highly volatile digital asset, a sub-0.2% swing in flows is more a sign of position trimming than a wholesale shift in conviction.
The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading at $1.90729. Over the past three months, XRP has dropped about 21.4%, a decline that has likely weighed on sentiment and prompted some investors to lock in remaining gains or stem further downside. Short-term momentum indicators are leaning negative, with a 1-day technical signal pointing to Sell, reinforcing the defensive flows seen in XRPC.
Still, with the ETF’s overall asset base largely intact, the latest outflow looks more like active risk management amid elevated volatility than a broad exit from XRP exposure. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
