In the shadowed corridors of finance, where optimism once danced like moths around a flame,

the U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have experienced a week more somber than a statue in winter-net negative, a rare disease among these luminaries. SoSoValue whispers of this rare event, the first since their glittering debut,

where the fervor gave way to a gentle yet relentless outflow of $40.64 million in just seven days. Apparently, the fervent hopes turned out to be as flimsy as a paper boat in a storm. Yet, despite this dizziness, the funds still cling to a net inflow of $1.23 billion and a hefty $1.36 billion in assets under management-like a crumpled flag waving bravely in the wind.

Grayscale Bleeds, Bitwise Buys

The exodus was no uniform symphony. Grayscale’s XRP Trust (GXRP), the once-prized jewel, watched a dramatic exit-$55.39 million vanished faster than a magician’s trick.

Meanwhile, Bitwise, the resilient jester, managed to scoop up $8.69 million in inflows. But in the grand scheme, it was like trying to plug a sinking ship with a teaspoon-hardly sufficient to stave off the inevitable flood.

This cooling demand, colder than a winter’s night, serves as a cruel reminder for those who believed ETFs would carry XRP straight to the divine peaks. The popular fairy tale that Wall Street’s money would elevate Ripple’s token to sky-high heights now resembles a ghost story told to children-to scare, but clearly untrue.

The XRP ETF debut was a spectacle of volume and inflows-beautifully crafted but ultimately as fragile as glass. Yet, the token’s price told a different tale-more tragic play than triumphant song. It soared to $2.40 in early January, only to be cruelly retraced, wiping out all gains of the year like a bad dream fading with dawn.

Now, with flows turning negative and the tide of confidence ebbing away, it’s uncertain whether XRP can even cling to its current level. CoinGecko reports it changing hands at a modest $1.88-barely more than a whispered secret.

Other ETFs: The Grim Portrait

As if to add insult to injury, the week of January 19-23 saw U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs suffer their second-largest weekly hemorrhage-$1.328 billion exited faster than visitors fleeing a haunted house.

Ethereum ETFs weren’t much better, recording a brutal $611 million in net outflows. Collectively, nearly $2 billion fled these giants of the market-an elegy to institutional confidence, now more fragile than a porcelain doll.
