In a notable recovery, the total net assets of US spot XRP based exchange traded funds have climbed back above the much watched $1 billion threshold. According to data from SoSoValue, the combined assets under management across five XRP ETFs reached $1.05 billion as of July 7, signaling renewed optimism among investors following weeks of volatility.
Price rebound, not new inflows, drives assets higher
Although this surge in total value may look like a fresh wave of investor enthusiasm, the main driver is not a large influx of new capital. Instead, the climbing spot price of XRP has boosted the funds’ reported net assets, pushing them above the psychologically important $1 billion mark.
Over the past week, XRP’s price jumped 10.5 percent, rising to $1.15. After dipping close to $1 in June’s extended downtrend, this rebound has fed directly into the valuations of the ETFs. Because these funds are tightly linked to the underlying asset’s price, the appreciation has strengthened the outlook for both issuers and investors.
The latest rally in XRP price has pushed the total net assets of US spot XRP ETFs back above $1 billion; however, the principal factor behind this growth is the revaluation of existing holdings, not an inflow of new funds.
Bitwise leads the ETF competition
Bitwise has retained its position as the largest manager in the XRP ETF segment, with its fund assets climbing to $330.84 million. This increase stems both from price recovery and a modest influx of local capital. Canary follows in second with $265.30 million, while Franklin Templeton rounds out the top three at $261.68 million. Known worldwide for its traditional financial products, Franklin Templeton’s prominence signals continued mainstream attention to XRP ETFs.
| Fund | Code | Net Assets |
|---|---|---|
| Bitwise | XRP | 330.84 million dollars |
| Canary | XRPC | 265.30 million dollars |
| Franklin Templeton | XRPZ | 261.68 million dollars |
Despite the rise in total assets, net new capital entering these funds remains modest. During the observed period, the combined net inflow amounted to just $17.19 million. Still, this marks the ninth consecutive week of net positive inflows since launch, with total accumulated inflows now at $1.49 billion.
Regulatory uncertainty continues to cool institutional demand
Major institutional investors remain cautious amid ongoing regulatory ambiguity. Delays in Washington’s legislative and rulemaking processes have led many large players to watch and wait instead of making significant commitments. In particular, the final vote on the CLARITY Act has been pushed to late July or even August 2026, amplifying the perception that key regulatory decisions are being postponed.
Glossary: The CLARITY Act is an ongoing legislative initiative aimed at clarifying exactly how digital assets should be regulated in the US. The bill seeks to resolve whether certain tokens are securities or commodities, reducing legal uncertainty across the industry.
With regulatory stagnation still pervasive in the market, funds have held their ground, and the renewed passing of the $1 billion mark is largely thanks to the spot recovery in XRP price.
This dynamic highlights that the recent surge in XRP ETF assets is less about soaring demand and more about improving market prices. While keeping the $1 billion level is seen as a critical milestone for funds, observers note that regulatory clarity will remain essential before institutional appetite truly accelerates.
