Spot XRP exchange-traded funds continued to attract strong investor interest, registering $26.2 million in net inflows on August 28 and marking nine consecutive days of positive flows, according to data from SoSoValue. Cumulative net inflows for these XRP funds have now reached approximately $1.6 billion.
Persistent inflows despite price pressure
XRP funds have maintained this inflow momentum even as the token’s price has lost ground. XRP traded near $1.39 on Monday, representing a decline of 2.7% for the day and 7.6% over the past week, based on CoinGecko data. Despite the price drop, $725 million has been added to spot XRP ETFs in just the past nine days.
ETF data indicates that daily net assets across these products are around $1.6 billion, with individual daily inflows ranging from $2.4 million to more than $28 million. ETF flow trackers, such as Decrypt, currently maintain a “bullish” sentiment toward XRP ETF performance.
Analysts highlight institutional demand
Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart has described the ongoing flows into XRP ETFs as “surprisingly resilient” when measured against the token’s subdued market action. He reviewed his own figures and cited cumulative net inflows totaling approximately $1.8 billion. The analyst noted that most of the investment has continued in a positive direction, remaining notable even as XRP loses some short-term price momentum.

AAPLXRP ETF flows have shown strength far beyond what the spot price suggests and nearly all the investment has remained strongly positive during the recent streak, according to observations by Bloomberg’s James Seyffart.
Seyffart referenced U.S. 13F regulatory filings from the second quarter to identify the largest spot XRP ETF holders. Goldman Sachs leads with about $87.4 million in reported exposure, followed by Jane Street and Millennium Management. Investment advisers are currently the largest category of holders and allocators, outpacing both hedge funds and brokerages.

Comparison with Bitcoin and Ethereum funds
The ongoing resilience in spot XRP ETF inflows stands in contrast to recent activity in Bitcoin products. Spot Bitcoin funds ended their own nine-day inflow streak, while Ethereum funds have continued to report steady cash additions. This divergence has drawn attention from market analysts trying to gauge broader investor sentiment toward various crypto assets.
Recent inflows into XRP ETFs differ sharply from the trend in spot Bitcoin funds, which recently ended a streak of daily net inflows, underscoring shifting investor priorities within the crypto ETF space.
The broader XRP ecosystem, which supports the cryptocurrency originally developed by the co-founders of Ripple, has attracted new institutional participants. Notably, Evernorth, an XRP treasury management company, recently gained SEC clearance and is expected to seek a Nasdaq listing soon.
Investors eye macro conditions
While XRP ETFs gain traction, the XRP spot price remains under pressure, still up about 38% over the past 14 days after a sharp rally but struggling to stay above key support levels following a recent leverage unwind. This disconnect between ETF inflows and market price is a key focus for traders heading into September, as investors monitor potential changes in U.S. Federal Reserve policy.
ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, are investment vehicles that hold underlying assets and allow investors to trade shares via traditional brokerages, providing a regulated and accessible way to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies. The first XRP ETFs launched in the United States in November 2025, following the introduction of Bitcoin funds one year earlier.
Market participants will be watching closely to see if continued ETF inflows can help stabilize $XRP’s spot price as the broader landscape shifts in response to interest rate expectations and sector developments.
