Top Investor Says Expect Big News This Week on XRP ETFs

Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Top Investor Says Expect Big News This Week on XRP ETFs Original Link: Interest in XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is rising again after widely followed investor Paul Barron revealed that “big news” could surface this week.

His comment spread across the XRP community, fueling expectations that another update or launch could be imminent.

Strong ETF Flows in Crypto

The renewed attention comes alongside a performance breakdown shared by Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth. He highlighted the top ETF performers and their year-to-date inflows. While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs dominated the list, XRP also made a notable appearance.

Among the standouts, a major asset manager’s Bitcoin ETFs recorded the largest year-to-date inflows at $25 billion. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF followed with $1.11 billion. Other Bitcoin ETFs included Fidelity ($477 million) and VanEck ($305 million), as Bitcoin ETFs continued to lead inflows.

A major asset manager’s Ethereum ETFs also led the ETH segment with $9.12 billion. Other Ethereum ETFs from major providers and Fidelity ranked high as well, though with lower volumes. A Solana staking ETF from Bitwise also showed solid traction, with $839 million in inflows.

Meanwhile, for XRP holders, the Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) recorded $384.33 million in year-to-date inflows. This places it among the top ETFs overall, despite launching only in November.

XRP ETF Landscape Keeps Expanding

Beyond Canary’s product, several other XRP ETFs are already live but did not feature in the top-performers list. These include:

• 21Shares: about $250 million in assets under management
• Bitwise: roughly $227 million
• Grayscale: around $244.23 million
• Franklin: approximately $206.9 million

All XRP spot ETFs launched in November and December. Together, they now account for about $1.24 billion in total AUM, with cumulative inflows at $1.14 billion. For a newly launched ETF category, these figures highlight strong early demand.

Some industry commentators, like Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie, have said that while the current figure is impressive, it could have been much higher if not for the bearish sentiment that has dominated the market since last month. Even so, XRP ETFs have shown remarkable performance, generating over $1 billion in just 21 days of consistent inflows.

Now, attention is on what could come next, as Barron’s tweet hinted.

What “Big News” Could Mean

Many are interpreting Barron’s comment as a potential update on another XRP ETF. One product the community is closely watching is the WisdomTree XRP ETF, which is among the pending ETFs expected to launch next.

At the same time, speculation around a major asset manager’s XRP ETF continues to circulate. However, there is currently no filing or pending approval for an XRP product tied to such providers, making such expectations premature.

With multiple XRP ETFs already attracting sizable inflows and at least one more set to launch soon, this could have a notable impact on market sentiment.
