XRP ETFs moved past $1 billion in assets, after traditional investors increased exposure to XRP, according to comments from Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks, in a CNBC interview.
Chung linked the XRP ETF demand to XRP’s long presence in crypto markets.
“Many investors are taking a position in XRP because of the familiarity,”
Sui Chung said.
“It has a long track record,”
he added.
At the same time, the XRP ETF milestone arrived while spot Ether ETFs recorded continued outflows and spot Bitcoin ETFs showed uneven daily flows, based on the figures cited in the report.
Sui Chung Says XRP ETFs Attract Traditional Investors
In the CNBC interview, Sui Chung said XRP’s recognition helps explain why XRP ETFs keep drawing traditional investor dollars. He described familiarity as one factor behind spot XRP ETF positioning.
He also pointed to performance over several years.
“Obviously, price performance has been pretty impressive over the past three or four years, so there are a number of reasons that it’s attracting investor dollars,”
Sui Chung said.
In market pricing cited in the report, XRP traded around $1.81 at publication time.
In addition, the report said XRP rose about 417% since 2022, while it fell 22.81% since Jan. 1, using CoinMarketCap data.
CoinGlass and SoSoValue Data Show XRP ETF Growth
Data cited in the report showed steady XRP ETF inflows since mid November. CoinGlass reported $423.27 million in spot XRP ETF inflows since Nov. 14.
Separately, SoSoValue data cited in the report showed XRP ETF assets moving beyond $1 billion in assets under management. The report treated that threshold as a key marker for the XRP ETF market.
The report also named five major XRP ETF issuers. Those issuers included Canary Capital, 21Shares, Grayscale Investments, Bitwise Asset Management, and Franklin Templeton. Together, they held about $1.14 billion in XRP ETF assets, based on the figures cited.
Solana ETFs Add Inflows While Ether ETFs See Outflows
Alongside XRP ETFs, Sui Chung also discussed Solana ETFs. He said traditional investors increasingly understand Solana’s investment case, which the report linked to recent spot Solana ETF inflows.
Over the past nine days, spot Solana ETFs posted $102.8 million in net inflows, according to CoinGlass data cited in the report. Chung pointed to measurable network activity.
“The understanding that traditional investors have of Solana and the types of applications that run on Solana, the types of fees that Solana has and the daily active users makes for a pretty compelling reading,”
he said.
Meanwhile, spot Ether ETFs recorded five consecutive days of outflows totaling $533.1 million, according to Farside data cited in the report.
Over the same period, spot Bitcoin ETFs showed mixed sessions, including $457.3 million of inflows on Thursday after $634.8 million of outflows over the prior two sessions, based on the figures cited.
