XRP ETFs reach $1.68B cumulative inflows on sustained institutional demand

Spot XRP ETFs in the US have accumulated $1.68 billion in cumulative net inflows since their November 2025 debut, SoSoValue data shows, extending a nearly ten-month run of institutional capital into regulated XRP exposure.

The complex added $18.96 million during the week ended Sept. 7, with Franklin Templeton's XRPZ leading at $9.82 million of net creations, according to data compiled by SoSoValue. Canary Capital's XRPC followed with $7.74 million, lifting its lifetime total near $491 million. Bitwise's XRP fund, the largest by cumulative subscriptions at about $599 million, posted a $3.32 million weekly outflow.

Combined net assets across the group stood near $1.48 billion as of Sept. 4, equal to roughly 1.69 percent of XRP's market capitalization. The gap between lifetime inflows and current assets under management reflects mark-to-market moves, fees, and capital arriving at different price levels over many months.

The products first listed in mid-November 2025 with Canary's XRPC among the earliest. They quickly distinguished themselves from larger bitcoin and ether funds by posting an unusually long streak of daily net inflows. That streak later broke, and monthly totals cooled through much of 2026 before a late-August surge produced the year's strongest weekly haul.

Issuers now include Bitwise, Canary, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, 21Shares, and REX-Osprey. Filings and 13F data earlier this year showed investment advisers as the dominant holder category, with large trading firms also appearing among top positions. Goldman Sachs disclosed about $87.4 million in XRP ETF exposure, according to 13F filings. That mix suggests the vehicles serve both tactical trading and longer-term allocations rather than purely short-term speculation.

For XRP, native to the XRP Ledger, the ETF channel has become one of the more visible sources of incremental demand. Tokens locked in fund custody reduce the float available on exchanges, though the effect remains small relative to total supply. Price action has not always tracked flow data in lockstep; XRP has spent stretches of 2026 consolidating below levels seen around the January rally even while net creations continued on balance. The token traded near $1.42 as of Sept. 6, up 0.56 percent over 24 hours.

Observers treat the products as a gauge of whether regulated altcoin vehicles can attract capital beyond the two largest crypto assets. Early months after launch delivered the heaviest subscriptions. Subsequent periods have been quieter, with occasional weeks of outflows or near-zero activity, followed by renewed interest when broader market conditions or issuer marketing improved.

The $1.68 billion milestone is less a sudden spike than the running total of nearly ten months of creations minus redemptions. Whether that tally keeps climbing at a meaningful rate will depend on the same factors that have governed crypto ETF flows generally: price trends, competing products, and investor appetite for assets other than bitcoin and ether.
