XRP (XRP) ETF Inflows Hit $1.66 Billion Record After $110 Million Week

A $3.2 Billion Token Demand Zone

XRP (XRP), the settlement asset of the XRP Ledger, is testing a support shelf where roughly 3.2 billion tokens last changed hands, after last week's rally stalled near $1.70. On-chain URPD data — an indicator that maps how much supply was traded at each price level — shows the heaviest concentration between $1.35 and $1.38, and analyst Ali flagged the zone in a chart posted on X as one of the most important demand areas for the coin. The setup followed a volatile stretch: the price ran approximately 71.8% from $0.988 to $1.698, then gave back about 20% of that gain, leaving late entrants exposed to exit liquidity on the pullback. Notably, the August 22 reversal from $1.69 coincided with Binance's estimated leverage ratio climbing to a seven-month high, meaning leveraged positioning amplified the drop. Above the market, the same distribution map frames the resistance ladder: about 1.99 billion XRP traded at $1.60, 1.98 billion at $1.68 and 3.47 billion at $1.86. A decisive break above $1.86 would clear the largest overhead cluster and open a path toward $2.19, where another 3.12 billion tokens previously changed hands. The coin remains down 6.51% over seven days, and converting the daily 200-day moving average at $1.27 into support would strengthen the bullish case. Track the full picture in our XRP coverage hub.

Record Week for Spot XRP ETFs

Spot XRP ETFs posted their strongest week of 2026, drawing $110.49 million in net inflows across five consecutive double-digit sessions — the best five-day run since the week ended December 5, 2025. Investors added $13.82 million on Monday, $23.87 million on Tuesday and $28.14 million on Wednesday, the single-best daily tally since January 5, when the funds attracted more than $46 million. Thursday brought $18.47 million and Friday $26.20 million, lifting cumulative net inflows to an all-time high of $1.66 billion. Bitwise's fund remains the largest with just over $600 million in cumulative inflows, ahead of Canary Capital's XRPC at $483 million and Franklin's XRPZ at $462.86 million — even though, as our related coverage notes, no $1 billion XRP ETF exists yet. The turn matters because it marks a clear shift from the stretches of zero net flows seen earlier in the year, when investor appetite for these products visibly cooled. The catch for bulls: despite the record-setting flows, the underlying asset was rejected after its surge to $1.70, sliding back toward $1.50 at the start of the business week before finding its footing near the demand zone described above.

Ripple Builds Out Institutional Rails

Ripple kept the corporate side busy. The company launched a Delta One business within Ripple Prime, its global, multi-asset prime brokerage platform, extending the product set available to institutional clients beyond its payments infrastructure. Separately, the Securities and Exchange Commission cleared the registration statement of Evernorth, an XRP treasury company, leaving a single shareholder vote before the firm can list on Nasdaq — a step that would hand public-market investors direct treasury exposure to the token. Ripple's stablecoin tracker also shows circulating supply on the XRP Ledger surpassing $1.04 billion, a data point desks monitor as tokenized activity on the ledger expands. Taken together, the filings and product launches show Ripple assembling full-stack institutional infrastructure — prime brokerage, treasury vehicles and settlement rails — rather than relying on payments alone. The build-out also complements Ripple's trust bank bid, widening the regulated access points available to the asset in a way that did not exist during earlier market cycles. For now, though, price action is digesting the August rally, and corporate milestones are support for the structural case rather than an immediate catalyst.

$1.4255 Resistance Scores 85/100

COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine rates the nearest ceiling at $1.4255 at 85/100, driven by a confluence of Value Area High, HVN, Keltner Upper and POC signals, with spot trading at $1.4151, up 1.62% over 24 hours. First support sits at $1.3430, scoring 73/100 on ATR Lower, LVN, VWAP and Fibo 0.500 confluence. Momentum backs the uptrend — RSI at 66.94 with a bullish MACD — while derivatives show funding at 0.0025%, open interest of $1.007 billion and a long/short account ratio of 2.81, with 73.8% of accounts long: a crowded bullish tilt that can accelerate moves in either direction. The Fear & Greed Index at 69 (Greed) echoes the warm sentiment, and our altcoin desk sees consistency with our earlier September rally odds note. Bullish scenario: a daily close above $1.4255 opens the run toward $1.5472 (74/100). The thesis invalidates on a close below $1.3430, which would expose $1.2681 (66/100).
