XRP ETF Holdings Reach About 1.16 Billion After One Year

XRP ETF holdings reached about 1.16 billion tokens in the first year of U.S. spot products, a milestone reported by U.Today on November 14, 2026. The accumulation marks a year of access through investment products, but it comes as XRP trades below $1 and fund flows have recently weakened.

What we know about XRP ETF holdings

The first U.S. spot XRP ETF began trading in November 2025. Nasdaq said Canary Capital’s fund, ticker XRPC, was scheduled to start trading on November 13, 2025, making it the first such U.S. product. The Nasdaq listing notice establishes the trading debut date. U.Today described the market’s launch as November 14, one day after the November 13 trading debut in Nasdaq’s notice.

The official XRP account marked the anniversary on November 13, 2026, saying U.S. spot funds had accumulated more than 1 billion XRP. U.Today reported the more specific estimate of about 1.16 billion tokens the following day. Those totals refer to XRP held, not the amount of investor cash contributed to the products.

Six firms now issue XRP investment products, according to U.Today: Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, 21Shares, Grayscale and REX. These funds give investors exposure through traditional means, rather than requiring them to buy and hold XRP directly. That changes the route to exposure, but it doesn’t remove market risk.

There is some uncertainty around the exact total. Bitcoin.com News reported community-tracker estimates of 1.16 billion XRP, while other analyst estimates it cited were closer to 1.19 billion. It also put net assets at roughly $1.16 billion and cumulative investor contributions at about $1.79 billion. These measures aren’t interchangeable: token holdings, current asset value and cumulative contributions describe different things.

What is still unclear

The reports cited here don’t explain the methodology behind each holdings estimate or reconcile the difference between 1.16 billion and 1.19 billion XRP. They also don’t show how much of the reported total was added during the anniversary period, as opposed to earlier accumulation.

Recent flow figures point to a less consistent picture than the one-year holdings total. Bitcoin.com News reported no net inflow since October 29 and about $18.6 million in net outflows during November as of November 14. Earlier, BeInCrypto reported that a 13-week run of weekly net inflows ended with $1.84 million in outflows for the week of October 12-16, citing SoSoValue data.

What to watch next for XRP ETF holdings

Daily and weekly fund-flow updates can show whether the recent weakness persists or demand returns. It will also matter whether trackers converge on a consistent holdings figure and whether growth in assets continues when XRP’s price is under pressure. Neither signal, on its own, proves what investors will do next.

XRP price and market sentiment

The anniversary came amid losses in several major crypto assets and a difficult stretch for XRP. CoinGecko data in the supplied market snapshot put XRP at $0.9869, down 4.13% over 24 hours, 14.28% over seven days and 23.32% over 30 days as of November 14, 2026, at 14:13 UTC. Bitcoin.com News separately reported XRP had slipped below $1 and touched about $0.99, its lowest daily low since November 2024.

The contrast is central to the milestone: reported fund accumulation over the year coincided with a sharp decline in the token’s market price. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index registered 13, classified as Extreme Fear, on November 14. That reading describes broad sentiment, not a direct measure of XRP ETF demand.

There was stronger demand earlier in the year. CoinDesk reported an 11-session inflow streak in late August and early September that brought in about $170 million and lifted cumulative net inflows since launch to around $1.68 billion. That episode contrasts with the October and November outflows, showing that flow trends have shifted over time rather than moving in one direction.

What it means for investors

The first-year total shows that XRP exposure through U.S. funds attracted substantial interest, and the roster of six issuers gives investors more than one product to compare. But a large holdings figure should not be read as a price signal by itself. Fund flows can change, tracker estimates can vary, and a token’s market price can fall even while reported holdings remain elevated.

ETF products provide exposure through traditional means, while direct holders buy and hold XRP themselves. These are different routes to exposure, and both leave investors exposed to XRP price movements. The supplied reports describe market volatility and document recent price declines.

Anyone assessing a fund’s figures should distinguish daily flows from cumulative inflows, and both from the number of tokens held or the current dollar value of assets. These figures answer different questions. They do not establish future demand or investment performance.

Bottom line

U.S. spot XRP funds accumulated about 1.16 billion XRP in their first year, according to U.Today, although other trackers cited by Bitcoin.com News put the total somewhat higher. The anniversary marks a year of product growth, but recent outflows and XRP’s decline below $1 show why the holdings milestone is not, by itself, a measure of market strength.
