Volatility Shares Trust XRP 2X ETF, ticker XRPT, attracted $1,136,640 in new inflows on February 20, 2026, even as traders grapple with sharp drawdowns in the underlying token. The leveraged product now oversees $77,599,360 in assets under management, with the latest flow equal to roughly 1.46% of its total AUM, signaling renewed risk appetite among speculative investors.
The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading at $1.4391 after a bruising three-month stretch in which it shed about 26.55% of its value. Near-term momentum remains weak, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell, underscoring the gap between cautious spot sentiment and leveraged ETF inflows.
Analysts say the divergence may reflect traders attempting to time a rebound via higher-octane vehicles like XRPT, rather than a broad-based return of confidence in XRP itself. If volatility persists, the ETF’s leveraged structure could amplify both gains and losses, making these inflows a potential bellwether for how aggressively market participants are willing to chase a turnaround in the token.
