XRP ETFs are quickly becoming a major force in the market. As of December 4, five XRP spot ETFs manage more than $909 million in total assets. Together, they hold over 400 million XRP, which is roughly equivalent to 0.4% of the total 100 billion XRP supply. Canary Capital leads the race with $351 million in assets and over 162 million XRP locked.
They are followed by Bitwise with $188 million, Grayscale with $139 million, Franklin Templeton with $123 million and REX-Osprey with $108 million. This accumulation occurred a few weeks after the negotiation. That speed reflects growing institutional appetite following regulatory clarity around Ripple and XRP in the United States. For many funds and advisors the green light has finally arrived. Now, capital moves quickly.
Over 400 Million XRP Now Locked in Institutional Vaults
On-chain custody data shows that 400.01 million XRP are now located within verified ETF vaults. These are real tokens taken from circulation and held under institutional custody models. Canary Capital alone controls over 162 million XRP. Bitwise follows with 87 million XRP, while Grayscale and Franklin Templeton each have more than 60 million XRP. REX-Osprey completes the list with about 29 million XRP.

5 XRP spot ETFs now trading with a combined $909 million AUM:
• Canary Capital (XRPC): $351 million – leading the pack
• Bit by bit (XRP): $188 million
• Grayscale (GXRP): $139 million
• Franklin Templeton (XRPZ): $123 million
• REX-Osprey (XRPR): $108 million…-Neil (@NeilTolbert) December 4, 2025
This blockage reduces the supply of liquid on the exchanges. Although Ripple released 1 billion XRP from escrow on December 1, most of it returned to escrow. Meanwhile, exchange balances remain close to 2.2 billion XRP. Which indicates a limited free float. The supply outlook is tightening. At the same time, demand for ETFs continues to rise. That combination creates constant pressure on price action, even during slow trading sessions.
Daily ETF flows show active institutional trading
Trading activity in XRP ETFs remains stable. In fact, in the last session, the combined daily volume reached almost $35 million. For example, Franklin Templeton led the day with around $12 million in volume, followed by Bitwise and Canary Capital. Each fund targets a different investor base. In fact, some attract cost-sensitive merchants with lower fees; Meanwhile, others attract institutions through brand reach and custodian structure. However, they all produce the same effect: they absorb XRP from the open market and push it into long-term holding vehicles. This flow pattern reflects the initial behavior of Bitcoin ETFs. First comes the slow build. Next come the larger block allocations. After that, treasury-style positions typically follow.
The Race Towards One Billion Locked XRP Has Begun
With 400 million XRP already locked, the next visible milestone is 1 billion XRP in ETF vaults. In fact, at the current pace, that goal no longer seems far away. Regulatory pressure around Ripple has eased and this change changed the mood within traditional finance. What started as a precaution has become a structured exhibition. Consequently, XRP now sits alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana in regulated products.
XRP is trading near $2.18 as this institutional build continues. The price has remained stable, even as large quantities leave open exchanges and go into long-term custody. That balance between flow and prices indicates controlled accumulation rather than speculative spikes. The bridge between cryptocurrencies and Wall Street is no longer a theory. In fact, with nearly $1 billion in XRP ETF assets already deployed, that bridge is now active and XRP is moving across it in real time.
