WisdomTree withdraws XRP ETF application despite rising inflows!

Jakarta, Pintu News – In a surprising recent development, WisdomTree, one of the leading asset managers, has decided to withdraw their application for a Ripple (XRP) ETF that had been filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This decision was taken despite an increase in fund flows into listed Ripple (XRP) ETFs, which reached over $1.25 billion in recent weeks.

WisdomTree Digital Commodity Services, which is the sponsor of the WisdomTree XRP Fund Trust, has officially requested the withdrawal of their registration statement on Form S-1, as noted in RW’s filing with the SEC on January 6. This decision came as a surprise to many given the strong interest from institutional and retail investors in the product earlier in the year.

XRP ETF Inflows Increase

The Ripple (XRP) ETF has kicked off 2026 with a bang, attracting huge interest from both institutional and retail investors. Data from SoSoValue shows that the US-based Ripple (XRP) ETF has recorded total inflows of more than $1.25 billion. On Tuesday, the Ripple (XRP) ETF recorded net inflows of $19.12 million, extending the positive trend amid increased trading volumes.

Franklin’s XRPZ ETF led the way with inflows of $7.35 million, followed by $6.49 million from Canary’s XRPC ETF and $3.54 million from Bitwise’s Ripple (XRP) ETF. These increases pushed total net assets to close to $1.62 billion, signaling the relative strength of Ripple (XRP) amid strong institutional demand, and boosting positive sentiment for further upside potential.

Speculation and Market Implications

WisdomTree’s withdrawal from filing for a Ripple (XRP) ETF may have led to speculation in the market about potential regulatory barriers or internal strategic considerations. Nonetheless, strong fund inflows into other Ripple (XRP) ETFs suggest that interest in Ripple (XRP) is still very high among investors.

This decision could also be a reflection of WisdomTree’s long-term strategy of adapting their product portfolio to changing market dynamics. The cryptocurrency market as a whole continues to exhibit complex dynamics, with investors continuing to seek opportunities in digital assets despite regulatory uncertainty.

Conclusion

Although WisdomTree has decided to withdraw their Ripple (XRP) ETF application, the growth of inflows into other Ripple (XRP) ETFs shows that there is significant room for growth and innovation in cryptocurrency-based financial products.

Going forward, the market may see more asset managers considering entering or expanding their presence in the Ripple (XRP) ETF arena, as the acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies in mainstream investment portfolios grows.
