XRP exchange-traded funds have reached an important milestone. U.S. spot XRP ETFs have now recorded 11 straight trading sessions of net inflows, with about $170 million added to the funds during this period.
The latest data gives a clear sign that demand for XRP exposure remains strong. Investors have continued to put money into these products even as the price of XRP has pulled back from its recent high.
The funds also reached about $1.68 billion in cumulative net inflows since their launch in November 2025. This is a major figure for an asset that has only had regulated spot ETF products for a relatively short time.
The latest daily numbers also show that demand has not come from just one fund. On Tuesday, XRP ETFs received $14.38 million in fresh money. Franklin Templeton’s XRP fund led the day with $6.63 million, while Grayscale followed with $4.72 million.
The 11-session streak matters
The size of the latest inflow is useful, but the longer streak tells a more interesting story.
The current run began on August 18. Since then, every trading session has recorded a net inflow. That has brought about $170 million into XRP ETFs over 11 sessions.
A single day of strong ETF demand can happen for many reasons. It could come from a short-term trade, a major market move, or a large investor transaction. A streak that lasts for 11 sessions gives a different picture.
It suggests that buyers have had a steady interest in XRP exposure.
This does not mean every investor has the same view of XRP. Some may want long-term exposure. Others may use ETFs as part of a larger trading strategy. Institutions can also combine ETF positions with futures or options.
Still, the steady flow of fresh capital is an important signal. It shows that demand has not disappeared after XRP’s recent price move.
XRP price has moved lower
The ETF data becomes even more interesting when it is compared with the XRP price.
XRP traded near $1.33 on September 2, according to the latest market data cited in the reports. That was below the roughly $1.45 level seen on August 27.
At the same time, XRP remained above the roughly $1 level seen in mid-August.
This means ETF buyers have continued to add exposure during a period when XRP has lost some of its recent gains.
That is an important difference.
In a very strong market rally, investors often buy after prices rise sharply because they expect the move to continue. In this case, ETF demand has remained present even after some of the excitement around XRP cooled.
It is too early to call this a major price signal. However, it does show that the recent price pullback has not removed investor interest in the asset.
August was a strong month
The 11-session streak came after a very strong August for XRP ETFs.
The funds attracted more than $150 million in net inflows during August, which made it their strongest month of 2026.
The figure was also higher than the previous 2026 monthly high of $131.94 million in May. April had recorded $81.59 million, while February saw $58.09 million.
The most notable part of August was the timing of the money.
Only about $3.27 million entered the funds between August 3 and August 14. Most of the monthly total came later.
The week that ended on August 21 brought about $31.78 million. The following week was much stronger, with $110.49 million in inflows.
That single week was the strongest weekly result for XRP ETFs in 2026, according to the reported data.
This shows that demand picked up very quickly during the second half of August.
Bitwise leads the August flows
Different XRP ETF issuers saw different levels of demand in August.
Bitwise’s XRP fund was the strongest performer for the month. It attracted about $92 million, which represented roughly 61% of the total August inflow.
Franklin Templeton followed with about $36 million.
Canary Capital, despite having the second-largest fund by total assets, added about $15 million during August.
These figures show that investors did not spread their money evenly across all XRP ETF products. Some funds captured a much larger share of the new capital.
That can happen because of differences in fees, brand recognition, liquidity, distribution, or investor preference.
The important point is that the overall sector still recorded strong positive demand.
Institutions are also part of the story
The ETF flow data is supported by another important development: major financial firms have disclosed holdings in XRP ETFs.
Second-quarter regulatory filings showed Goldman Sachs, Jane Street and Millennium Management among the largest disclosed institutional holders.
Goldman Sachs had about $87.4 million of XRP ETF exposure as of June 30. Jane Street had about $16.6 million, while Millennium Management had about $16.2 million.
Investment advisers made up the largest category of reported holders. They accounted for about $120 million of the $183 million disclosed across the filings.
Hedge funds held about $25 million, brokerages held $17 million, and banks held about $14 million.
These numbers give XRP a stronger institutional presence than it had before the arrival of spot ETFs.
Goldman Sachs needs some context
Goldman’s $87.4 million position may look like a large direct bet on XRP, but the number needs careful interpretation.
Large financial firms can hold ETFs for several reasons. A position can relate to market making, client activity, arbitrage, or other trading strategies. The firm may also hedge some or all of the price risk elsewhere.
So the filing does not prove that Goldman Sachs expects XRP to rise sharply.
There is another important issue with the dates.
The institutional holdings come from June 30, while the latest 11-session ETF inflow streak took place much later, from August into early September.
The filings therefore cannot tell us exactly which institutions drove the recent $170 million inflow.
They simply show that professional investors already had meaningful exposure to XRP ETFs before the latest flow surge.
XRP still has a long way to go
Despite the strong XRP numbers, Bitcoin remains far ahead in the ETF market.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted about $2.26 billion across six trading sessions in late August alone. That amount was larger than the entire $1.68 billion that XRP ETFs have attracted since their November 2025 launch.
This comparison matters because it puts XRP’s milestone into perspective.
XRP has built a meaningful ETF market, but it is still much smaller than Bitcoin’s.
That does not make the XRP numbers weak. In fact, the continued flow of capital into a smaller asset can be significant because even moderate new demand can have a larger effect on a smaller market.
What the flows really tell us
The strongest message from the latest data is not that XRP is guaranteed to rise.
Instead, the flows show that investor demand for regulated XRP exposure remains active.
The combination of $1.68 billion in cumulative inflows, $170 million during the latest 11-session streak, and more than $150 million in August points to a market that has developed real demand for XRP ETFs.
The fact that this demand has continued while XRP has moved below its late-August level makes the data even more notable.
However, ETF flows should not be treated as a direct price forecast. Some investors can hedge their ETF exposure, and institutional filings do not reveal every part of a firm’s trading strategy.
The next major test will be whether the strong flow trend continues through September.
If XRP ETFs keep attracting fresh money while the token remains under pressure, it could show that investors see the recent weakness as a chance to build exposure at lower prices.
If flows slow sharply, the August surge may look more like a short burst of demand.
For now, the data points to a clear shift: XRP ETFs are no longer a small side story in the crypto market. With $1.68 billion in cumulative inflows and an 11-session run worth about $170 million, they have become a meaningful channel for investors who want exposure to XRP through a regulated market product.
The milestone does not guarantee the next XRP price move. But it does show that demand for XRP has become deeper, more persistent, and more visible through the ETF market.
