In recent developments, the XRP market has shown signs of recovery, bolstered by infrastructure advancements linked to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and partnerships involving Ripple, particularly with the RLUSD stablecoin. Over a span of two days, U.S. spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for XRP have attracted renewed inflows, indicating a cautious return of investor confidence.
Data from SoSoValue reveals that starting February 24, U.S. spot XRP ETFs experienced cumulative inflows reaching $6.13 million after a prior period of stagnant movement. Presently, the total net assets of these XRP ETFs represent 1.19% of the circulating supply, valued at approximately $1.06 billion. Since their launch in November 2025, the cumulative total net inflow has amounted to $1.24 billion, highlighting significant interest from investors.
The fluctuations in the XRP market present a mixed picture. Earlier in the month, the asset’s price dropped sharply, losing over 32%, and inflows into U.S. funds dwindled dramatically, with instances of multimillion-dollar outflows. However, the XRP price has since rebounded by nearly 29% from a low of $1.121 recorded on February 6. This recovery can be attributed to various developments, including the launch of a Permissioned DEX for institutional users by XRPL developers and the partnership between Deutsche Bank and Ripple centered around the RLUSD stablecoin.
Investor sentiment towards U.S. spot XRP ETFs reflects a sustained interest in the token, with many seeking to increase their exposure through regulated investment channels. This interest may be particularly influenced by the prospect of real-world asset tokenization and the upcoming March 1 deadline for the U.S. Senate’s consideration of the Clarity Act, a legislative discussion in which Ripple is actively engaged.
While it remains uncertain if these developments will lead to a significant increase in XRP token valuations, the apparent stability in XRP’s price performance is significant, particularly in the volatile landscape of the cryptocurrency market in 2026. The unfolding events suggest that investor optimism, though cautious, could be a precursor to more substantial shifts within the market.
