XRP ETF Inflows Hit $1.51 Billion As Token Struggles Near $1

Published by

U.S. spot XRP ETFs have attracted approximately $1.51 billion in cumulative net inflows. This shows continued demand even as XRP has struggled around the $1 level. The latest data shows a notable divergence. Specifically, ETF capital has remained relatively resilient while the token price has weakened.

As of August 18, 2026, U.S. spot XRP ETFs have about $993 million in combined AUM and hold roughly 994.7 million XRP. The recently reported daily flow data show that on August 6, ETFs attracted $3.45 million. This reversed the $3.58 million outflow on August 5. Bitwise contributed $2.89 million, and Franklin Templeton contributed $561,560. Additionally, the latest weekly data available through August 14 indicates XRP ETFs still finished the week with net inflows. However, buying had slowed considerably.

The quick return of capital suggests that the latest outflow was not followed by sustained selling pressure across the ETF market.

How Much Have XRP ETFs Crossed?

Cumulative U.S. spot XRP ETF inflows have now reached roughly $1.51 billion. The three largest contributors in the latest data are:

  • Bitwise: approximately $510 million
  • Canary: approximately $468 million
  • Franklin Templeton: approximately $426 million
  • Total: approximately $1.51 billion

The latest $3.45 million inflow consisted of roughly $2.89 million from Bitwise and $561,000 from Franklin Templeton.

Best and Worst ETF Periods

  • Best launch month: November 2025 — +$666.61M
  • Second-best: December 2025 — +$499.91M
  • Best 2026 month: May — +$131.94M
  • Worst month: March 2026 — -$31.16M

What Could Happen Next?

According to one crypto analyst, XRP’s ETF flows remain an important signal even as the token trades near the $1 level. He noted that U.S. spot XRP ETFs had accumulated roughly $1.51 billion in net inflows. This shows a growing gap between ETF demand and XRP’s weak price performance.

The latest flow pattern is particularly important because a roughly $3.58 million net outflow was followed by about $3.45 million in inflows in the next reported session. In his view, the quick return of capital shows that demand for XRP exposure has not simply disappeared after a single negative session.
