Spot Xrp Etfs Log Biggest Inflow Day Since January
US-listed spot XRP ETFs pulled in $25.8 million on Monday, their largest single-day net inflow since January, as the CLARITY Act heads into a Senate markup and ether ETFs shed nearly $17 million on the same session.
XRP ETFs Post Strongest Daily Inflow in Months
US-listed spot XRP ETFs recorded $25.8 million in net inflows on Monday, their largest single-day haul since early January. The session brought cumulative inflows across the products to $1.35 billion. The surge arrived as $XRP traded around $1.46 to $1.47, with every XRP fund rising more than 4% on the day alongside the underlying token.
The session was a study in divergence across the altcoin ETF space. While $XRP products attracted fresh capital, ether spot ETFs bled nearly $17 million on the same day, and the pattern of bitcoin leading, altcoin ETFs catching spillover, and ether lagging has held through most of the year, with XRP still down roughly 39% over the past six months despite sustained ETF interest.
XRP spot ETFs have posted inflows in 11 of the last 13 trading days, totalling $82.42 million, according to data from SoSoValue. As of May 12, seven XRP spot ETFs are trading in the United States with combined assets under management of over $1 billion.
CLARITY Act Heads Into Senate Markup
The inflow surge coincides with a pivotal moment for US crypto legislation. The Senate Banking Committee has released a 309-page updated draft of the CLARITY Act, with a formal markup vote scheduled for May 14, 2026. The measure seeks to resolve years of regulatory uncertainty by designating three key digital asset categories and assigning regulators to each, while also strengthening investor protections and introducing new anti-fraud capabilities.
Traders are watching the markup closely for what it could mean for $XRP specifically. The CLARITY Act aims to define digital assets more precisely under US law, a move that would strengthen XRP's legal standing and create a more stable environment for ETFs and institutional investment. Standard Chartered projects $4 to $8 billion in XRP ETF inflows in a scenario where the bill passes.
The path forward is not without obstacles. Even if the CLARITY Act clears the Senate Banking Committee, it would still need to be merged with a version approved by the Senate Agriculture Committee, and lawmakers must also resolve a contentious conflict-of-interest provision before a full Senate floor vote, where 60 yes votes will be required. Prediction market Polymarket currently puts the odds of CLARITY becoming law in 2026 at 75%.
On the Ripple side, sentiment has been further bolstered by recent developments. Last week, Ripple completed a pilot tokenized US Treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger with JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance, processing the redemption in under five seconds.
