Wall Street Keeps Buying XRP: US Spot ETFs Post 19-Day Inflow Streak

bitcoinistPublished on 2025-12-16Last updated on 2025-12-16

Abstract

US-listed spot XRP ETFs have recorded 19 consecutive trading days of net inflows with zero outflows, accumulating nearly $1 billion in new investments by December 12, according to Sosovalue data. Total net assets reached approximately $1.18 billion. Industry experts, including Bitmern Mining CEO Giannis Andreou, attribute this sustained inflow to institutional demand rather than retail speculation. In a significant shift, XRP ETFs have now surpassed Solana ETFs in total assets under management, with $1.638 billion compared to SOL's $1.566 billion. Analysts suggest XRP's appeal lies in its institutional suitability and lack of staking, contrasting with Solana's on-chain efficiency for retail users. Despite strong ETF performance, XRP's price fell to $1.98 at press time, testing a key support level.

US-listed spot XRP ETFs just put together a streak that’s hard to ignore: 19 straight trading days of net inflows, with zero outflow sessions over the run, according to daily flow data compiled by Sosovalue.

The numbers add up quickly. By Dec. 12, cumulative net inflows sat at $974.50 million, while total net assets across the products were shown at roughly $1.18 billion.

XRP ETFs Log 19 Straight Trading Days Of Inflows

The early days did most of the heavy lifting. Sosovalue’s table shows $243.05 million of net inflow on Nov. 14, then another surge on Nov. 24 ($164.04 million). There were also chunky adds on Nov. 20 ($118.15 million) and Dec. 1 ($89.65 million). Even as the pace cooled, inflows didn’t flip—Dec. 8 posted $38.04 million, and Dec. 12 added another $20.17 million.

On X, Bitmern Mining founder and CEO Giannis Andreou framed it bluntly today: “19 consecutive trading days of inflows. Zero outflow days. Nearly $1B in net capital added.” He called it “sustained institutional positioning,” not retail froth.

That “institutional bid” angle is also showing up in the asset rankings. In a Dec. 13 post, Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg pointed to a separate snapshot of the US crypto ETP landscape showing XRP products now edging out Solana by total assets under management.

Bloomberg Intelligence data in the chart puts XRP ETP assets at about $1.638 billion, just ahead of Solana at $1.566 billion, in a market where Bitcoin still towers over everything at $125.425 billion and Ethereum sits at $22.019 billion.

McClurg’s explanation for the flip was less about Solana underperforming and more about where each asset “fits” in the wrapper trade.

“SOL ETFs launched before XRP, but XRP ETFs have now passed SOL in total AUM. I expected this,” McClurg wrote, adding “SOL is much more efficient to hold on-chain and to stake directly for retail audiences, whereas XRP has more institutional demand and no staking. As with everything, there will be an audience that prefers direct ownership, and an audience that prefers the ease of financial instruments. Some will do both.”

Notably, from Dec. 8 to Dec. 12, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net inflows of $287 million for the week, while Ethereum spot ETFs saw weekly net inflows of $209 million. SOL spot ETFs recorded net inflows of $33.6 million.

At press time, XRP once again fell below the $2 mark. The token traded at $1.98 and thus at the key support zone. A drop below the red support band could strengthen the bear case for a deeper crash to the 100-week or even 200-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA). XRP visited the latter during the October 10 crash.

OpenAI Post-Training Engineer Weng Jiayi Proposes a New Paradigm Hypothesis for Agentic AI

OpenAI engineer Weng Jiayi's "Heuristic Learning" experiments propose a new paradigm for Agentic AI, suggesting that intelligent agents can improve not just by training neural networks, but also by autonomously writing and refining code based on environmental feedback. In the experiment, a coding agent (powered by Codex) was tasked with developing and maintaining a programmatic strategy for the Atari game Breakout. Starting from a basic prompt, the agent iteratively wrote code, ran the game, analyzed logs and video replays to identify failures, and then modified the code. Through this engineering loop of "code-run-debug-update," it evolved a pure Python heuristic strategy that achieved a perfect score of 864 in Breakout and performed competitively with deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms in MuJoCo control tasks like Ant and HalfCheetah. This approach, termed Heuristic Learning (HL), contrasts with Deep RL. In HL, experience is captured in readable, modifiable code, tests, logs, and configurations—a software system—rather than being encoded solely into opaque neural network weights. This offers potential advantages in explainability, auditability for safety-critical applications, easier integration of regression tests to combat catastrophic forgetting, and more efficient sample use in early learning stages, as demonstrated in broader tests on 57 Atari games. However, the blog acknowledges clear limitations. Programmatic strategies struggle with tasks requiring long-horizon planning or complex perception (e.g., Montezuma's Revenge), areas where neural networks excel. The future vision is a hybrid architecture: specialized neural networks for fast perception (System 1), HL systems for rules, safety, and local recovery (also System 1), and LLM agents providing high-level feedback and learning from the HL system's data (System 2). The core proposition is that in the era of capable coding agents, a significant portion of an AI's learned experience could be maintained as an auditable, evolving software system.

Your Claude Will Dream Tonight, Don't Disturb It

This article explores the recent phenomenon of AI companies increasingly using anthropomorphic language—like "thinking," "memory," "hallucination," and now "dreaming"—to describe machine learning processes. Focusing on Anthropic's newly announced "Dreaming" feature for its Claude Agent platform, the piece explains that this function is essentially an automated, offline batch processing of an agent's operational logs. It analyzes past task sessions to identify patterns, optimize future actions, and consolidate learnings into a persistent memory system, akin to a form of reinforcement learning and self-correction. The article draws parallels to similar features in other AI agent systems like Hermes Agent and OpenClaw, which also implement mechanisms for reviewing historical data, extracting reusable "skills," and strengthening long-term memory. It notes a key difference from human dreaming: these AI "dreams" still consume computational resources and user tokens. Further context is provided by discussing the technical challenges of managing AI "memory" or context, highlighting the computational expense of large context windows and innovations like Subquadratic's new model claiming drastically longer contexts. The core critique argues that this strategic use of human-centric vocabulary does more than market products; it subtly reshapes user perception. By framing algorithms with terms associated with consciousness, companies blur the line between tool and autonomous entity. This linguistic shift can influence user expectations, tolerance for errors, and even perceptions of responsibility when systems fail, potentially diverting scrutiny from the companies and engineers behind the technology. The article concludes by speculating that terms like "daydreaming" for predictive task simulation might be next, continuing this trend of embedding the idea of an "inner life" into computational processes.

Duan Yongping's Bottom-Fishing in CoreWeave Is Turning into a Battleground for Bulls and Bears

CoreWeave's Q1 2026 earnings report has intensified the ongoing bull-bear battle over the AI infrastructure stock. While revenue doubled year-over-year to $2.08B and the firm's remaining performance obligation (RPO) surged to nearly $100B, its net loss more than doubled to $740M. The critical point of contention is profitability: while adjusted EBITDA margin was a robust 56%, the adjusted operating margin collapsed to just 1% due to soaring infrastructure and sales costs. A weaker-than-expected Q2 revenue guidance further triggered an 11.4% single-day stock drop. The bull thesis hinges on CoreWeave's massive order backlog, deep strategic ties with NVIDIA (as a customer, investor, and key supplier), and a diversified client base now including Anthropic and Meta. The bear case focuses on the "scale at all costs" model, where expanding revenue leads to wider losses, ballooning debt ($25B), and massive capital expenditures ($6.8B in Q1). Insider selling by executives contrasts with a notable new investor: Chinese investor Duan Yongping initiated a small position (0.12% of his portfolio) in Q4 2025 near the stock's lows. The coming Q2 report is seen as a key test for management's promise of a profit margin recovery.

CLARITY Act: Banking Trade Groups Push For Yield Agreement Revision – Details

US banking trade groups are urging revisions to the stablecoin yield compromise in the upcoming CLARITY Act ahead of a key committee markup. The Act currently aims to ban all passive, deposit-like interest on stablecoins to prevent competition with traditional bank savings, while allowing rewards tied to active uses like staking or transactions. In a letter, groups including the American Banking Association and Bank Policy Institute proposed stricter language to eliminate perceived loopholes for passive yield and prevent deposit flight from banks. However, these efforts are reportedly viewed as minor by some lawmakers. The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to mark up the bill on May 14, a critical step before it can advance through Congress.
