Franklin Templeton Leads XRP ETFs to $4.07M Net Inflow to Open October

Franklin Templeton Sets the Pace

XRP exchange-traded funds carried the same posture into October that they held through the close of September: money coming in, at a modest pace. On October 1, the first session of the month, the products recorded $4.07 million in net inflow, with total trading volume across the funds at $25.87 million, SosoValue's XRP ETF tracker shows. The XRP price traded near $1.53 on Friday, up 2.8% over the past 24 hours, according to COINOTAG's live monitoring.

The issuer line explains most of the print. Franklin Templeton's XRP fund absorbed $4.06 million in new capital, the largest single contribution of the session. Bitwise's product added $3.18 million. Canary's fund ran the other way, with $3.18 million leaving on the same day, an exit that pulled the group's net figure down to the low single-digit millions. No other issuer posted a material flow, so the day's positive total rested on two names doing most of the work.

Institutional positioning behind these products has been shifting for weeks rather than days. Jane Street lifted its XRP ETF stake 5,733% to 1.2 million shares in a recent disclosure, a move that enlarged the holder base whose daily decisions now register as these flows. XRP itself, the asset at the center of Ripple's cross-border payments blockchain, drew renewed attention as the month opened; the $25.87 million volume day followed a stretch in which the funds' intake had slowed and their performance had flattened, and coverage of the broader XRP ecosystem picked up in step. The return of a net-positive print restores, rather than accelerates, the earlier rhythm.

Ethereum Side of the Ledger

Across the ledger, the same session treated Ethereum's spot funds differently. Ethereum ETFs posted $55.37 million in net outflow on October 1, a withdrawal that ran against the products' own accumulated history: even after the exit, their cumulative net inflows stand at $13.84 billion. Net flow, in these trackers, is the difference between shares created as fresh capital arrives and shares redeemed as investors pull money out, so a single negative print means redemptions outweighed creations for the day across the group.

The divergence between the two complexes was the session's sharpest structural fact. The daily flow gap between XRP ETFs and Ethereum ETFs came to $59.44 million, with the smaller asset class taking money in while the larger one paid it out, a difference of more than thirteen times XRP's own intake. Sector-index framing gives the comparison a longer backdrop: Grayscale's 10-token Currencies sector puts XRP near 6% of Bitcoin's market cap, a weight that relative-flow models read alongside daily ETF prints.

Market observers read the split as caution on Ethereum's institutional side rather than conviction on XRP's: capital left the established product while the newer complex stayed open for business. Single-day figures do not settle a trend, and October 1 is one print; the XRP group's own intake was modest, and a third of its gross inflow was offset internally by Canary's redemption. Month-start prints carry weight with allocators because they set the reference line for the weekly and monthly flow reports that follow, so the split registered with analysts who track relative flows across altcoin ETF complexes. Whether Ethereum's outflow was a one-day risk trim or the opening move of a longer pullback will show in the sessions ahead. For now, Ethereum's $13.84 billion cumulative base remains intact, the XRP side carries the positive daily figure, and the gap at the month's open stands as recorded.

$1.54 Cap, $1.49 Floor

(as of 17:44 UTC) COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine puts the day's ceiling just overhead: the $1.5113 resistance scores 66/100, driven by the confluence of the R2 pivot, the Fibo 0.236, a fresh MACD cross and a high-volume node, with spot at $1.4948. Below, the $1.4670 support rates 83/100 on an EMA 20, swing-low and Fibo 0.382 cluster, with a second 83/100 shelf at $1.3699 from the Ichimoku Senkou A/B and cloud bottom. The futures trading ledger stays constructive: perp funding runs at 0.0056%, open interest at $1.16 billion and the long/short account ratio at 2.86, with 74.1% of accounts long, and RSI at 57.44 with a bearish MACD signal inside the wider uptrend. A 72/100 Greed reading on the Fear & Greed Index frames the bull market context. The uptrend stands while $1.4670 holds; a daily close under it puts the $1.3699 level in play. What the session left behind is a market pinned just under its nearest resistance, with the heavier work still ahead at $1.6581.
