The Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF, ticker XRPI, recorded notable outflows on December 24, 2025, with investors pulling roughly $1.63 million from the fund. The latest redemption represents about 1.18% of the ETF’s $138.6 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful shift in positioning ahead of year-end in an already unsettled crypto market.
The move suggests growing caution around XRP-linked exposure after a volatile quarter for the underlying token. While a 1%-plus daily hit to AUM does not amount to a stampede, it signals that a segment of investors is trimming risk rather than adding on weakness, despite crypto’s reputation for sharp reversals.
The related asset, XRP-USD, is currently trading at $1.84905 and has shed about 38.35% over the past three months, underperforming many large-cap crypto peers. Short-term technicals are aligned with the cautious ETF flows: the one-day trading signal flashes Strong Sell, reflecting persistent downside pressure and limited evidence of sustained dip-buying.
For now, the combination of negative price momentum in XRP and fresh outflows from XRPI paints a picture of investors stepping back rather than positioning for a near-term rebound. Whether that caution proves prescient or premature will likely hinge on broader risk sentiment and any regulatory or ecosystem developments around Ripple’s token in early 2026.
