The Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF, ticker XRPI, recorded net outflows of $833,770 on January 16, 2026, a move that trimmed but did not significantly dent the fund’s size. With assets under management now standing at $149.1 million, the latest redemption represents about 0.56% of AUM — a notable but far from destabilizing vote of caution from investors.
The withdrawal comes as sentiment around XRP-linked products softens following a choppy quarter for the underlying token. While the scale of the flow is modest in percentage terms, it suggests some investors are locking in gains or reducing risk exposure after a period of heightened volatility, rather than a wholesale exit from XRP-focused strategies.
The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading at $1.97839, down roughly 15.0% over the past three months. The short-term technical picture has also turned cautious, with a 1-day signal flashing Sell. That combination of negative momentum and bearish technicals helps explain why some fund holders are trimming positions even as longer-term bulls remain engaged.
Still, the scale of the outflow relative to AUM indicates that institutional and retail interest in XRPI is intact, with the ETF continuing to serve as a liquid vehicle for tactical XRP exposure. If price weakness persists and sell signals remain in place, further outflows are possible, but a swift improvement in sentiment or a technical reversal could just as quickly see flows swing back into positive territory.
