11 Straight Sessions of ETF Inflows

US spot XRP (XRP) exchange-traded funds have taken in fresh money for an eleventh consecutive trading session, cementing the longest institutional run since the products debuted last November. Aggregate ETF flow data shows Tuesday's net inflow reached $14.38 million, lifting the streak that began on Aug. 18 to roughly $170 million and cumulative net inflows since launch to about $1.68 billion. Franklin Templeton's XRP fund led Tuesday's intake with $6.63 million, followed by Grayscale with $4.72 million. The XRP price context matters here: the token traded near $1.33 early Wednesday, off its late-August peak near $1.45 but still well above the $1 area it occupied in mid-August. The XRP inflow streak also remains modest next to bitcoin funds, which absorbed $2.26 billion in just six late-August sessions — more than XRP ETFs have gathered in their entire life. For those weighing an entry, our beginner's guide to buying XRP covers the practical steps.

Separate quarterly 13F filings data adds an institutional layer to the story. As of June 30, Goldman Sachs was the largest disclosed holder of XRP ETFs with roughly $87.4 million of exposure, followed by Jane Street at $16.6 million and Millennium Management at $16.2 million. Investment advisers dominated the filings, accounting for about $120 million of the $183 million in disclosed positions, and drove most of the quarter's growth — advisers added roughly $90 million of the $103 million total increase. The caveat we keep flagging: 13F disclosures capture gross ETF holdings and say nothing about hedging, so Goldman's stake may stem from market-making, basis trading or client-order facilitation rather than a directional bet on XRP. The filings also snapshot June 30, two months before the current inflow run started; whether those firms still hold will only surface in November.

A Yield Pitch Aimed at XRP Holders

A third development this session sits outside the ETF complex: cloud mining platform FTmining is marketing contracts that it claims let long-term XRP holders generate passive income — in some cases over $10,000 monthly — without selling their tokens. The pitch leans on a $15 sign-up bonus, contract tiers running from a $100 two-day plan to a $25,000 28-day plan with a claimed $38,300 return, and representations of UK FCA licensing, annual PwC audits and Lloyd's-backed insurance. Holders are told earnings can be withdrawn to a personal wallet within 24 hours. Our desk treats these figures as unverified platform claims: fixed high-yield promises in crypto have a long history of counterparty failure, and marketing built on FOMO psychology deserves skepticism regardless of the licensing narrative. Investors should independently confirm any regulatory status before committing capital to such schemes.

Ripple and SettleMint Target Asia-Pacific Banks

On the infrastructure side, Ripple and digital-asset lifecycle platform SettleMint announced a strategic partnership on Sept. 1, 2026, aimed at regulated financial institutions and rolling out first in Asia-Pacific. The integration pairs Ripple Custody — the institutional stack for safeguarding crypto assets and enforcing governance rules — with SettleMint's Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform, which manages a token from creation through reconciliation and asset servicing. The upshot for banks: issuance, custody, compliance and reconciliation run through one system instead of being scattered across multiple vendors, reducing the reconciliation gaps that multi-provider setups create. Timing is no accident — a May 2026 Boston Consulting Group report projects tokenized real-world assets could reach $88.2 trillion by 2035, roughly 16% of global investable assets. As we noted in our coverage of the combined Ripple–SettleMint custody and tokenization platform, the announcement signals infrastructure ambition, not guaranteed XRP demand.

$1.27 Support in Focus

COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine frames the technical picture as of this writing: spot XRP changes hands at $1.3455, down 2.49% over 24 hours, sitting just beneath a nearer resistance at $1.3492 that our composite engine rates 65/100 on R1 and Value Area High confluence. Above it, the $1.4272 ceiling scores 78/100, driven by HVN, POC and Keltner Upper sources, while the $1.2696 support carries our strongest rating at 85/100 from Supertrend, S3 and HVN signals. Momentum is mixed — RSI at 58.09 with a bearish MACD signal inside a sideways trend. Derivatives positioning leans crowded: funding at 0.0071% is mildly positive, open interest stands at $913.3 million, and the 2.83 long/short account ratio (73.9% long) leaves leverage vulnerable to a flush. With the Fear & Greed Index at 63 (Greed), a reclaim of $1.3492 opens $1.4272; losing $1.2696 would invalidate the constructive read.
