US Spot XRP and Dogecoin ETFs Boom as Weekly Gains Surge Over 20%

$XRP and Dogecoin have emerged as early standouts in the first week of 2026, supported by fresh ETF inflows and a renewed risk-on tone across crypto markets.

Data from SoSoValue shows $XRP spot ETFs extended their inflow streak to 33 consecutive days, while Dogecoin spot ETFs recorded a sharp pickup in activity after weeks of muted flows.

$XRP ETFs Remain in Green For 33 Days Since Launch

$XRP spot ETFs posted a combined $13.59 million in net inflows on January 2, pushing total net assets to $1.37 billion. The sustained inflow streak stretches back to mid-November, when these funds were first launched.

This shows persistent institutional demand for $XRP even as broader crypto ETFs experienced intermittent outflows late last year.

Meanwhile, Dogecoin spot ETFs saw a notable shift. After days of flat activity, net inflows jumped by $2.3 million on January 2, lifting total $DOGE ETF assets to $8.34 million.

While the absolute figures remain small compared with $XRP, the move marks a clear acceleration relative to December’s low-volume trading.

Price action has followed the same direction. $XRP traded in a tight range earlier in the week before pushing toward the $2.30 level.

The move came after $XRP reclaimed key short-term support zones around $2, easing sell pressure that defined late 2025.

Leveraged Dogecoin ETFs are Leading the US Markets

Dogecoin also extended its weekly rally. $DOGE climbed from the low-$0.13 range to around $0.14, supported by broader memecoin strength and improving market sentiment.

Technical momentum played a role, with short-term breakouts drawing traders back into high-beta assets.

Leverage has amplified those moves. According to ETF data highlighted by Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, 2x leveraged Dogecoin ETFs ranked among the best-performing ETFs of early 2026, posting outsized gains within days.

Taken together, the data points to two parallel trends. $XRP continues to attract steady institutional capital through spot ETFs, tightening liquidity over time.

Dogecoin, by contrast, is seeing shorter-term momentum flows, magnified by leverage and retail participation.
