XRP ETF Weekly Inflows Shrink 94%

Net inflows into the spot XRP exchange-traded funds collapsed last week, with the products taking in just $4.74 million against the $75.59 million gathered in the five-day stretch that ended on Sep 25, a fall of roughly 94% in weekly demand. The week still counted as green, which extended the funds' run of consecutive positive weeks to 12, but the daily record shows how thin the money behind that streak had become. Net flows measure creations minus redemptions across the vehicles, so a week can stay positive while the dollars driving it thin out, and that is exactly what happened here. Monday, Sep 28, opened on a decent note, with investors committing close to $4 million. Tuesday and Wednesday then registered $0.00 in net flows apiece on SoSoValue's fund-flow tally, two straight sessions of evaporated demand of the sort that was routine during the sluggish summer months but had been absent in recent weeks. Allocations resumed on Thursday, Oct 1, when $4.07 million entered the products and ended the two-day dry spell. The revival proved brief: Friday delivered $3.28 million in net outflows, the first red session since Sep 18, stripping away most of what the week had accumulated. Across the two positive days the funds absorbed roughly $8 million against that single $3.28 million exit, leaving a slim weekly residue. The XRP price itself followed the same arc: capped twice at $1.55, pushed down to $1.45 in Friday's market-wide correction, and now sitting near $1.50 per our live monitoring. These wrappers are the main regulated channel through which traditional portfolios reach the asset, so their intake is read as a proxy for institutional appetite in spot XRP ETF flows.

Twelve consecutive green weeks is the longest such run on record for the funds, and it lands at an awkward moment. The double zero-flow session had looked like a relic of the summer lull, when demand for these products repeatedly went flat for days, and the weeks of steady intake before this one suggested the pattern was gone. Until Friday, the funds had also gone without a single negative day since Sep 18, a stretch of roughly two weeks of uninterrupted intake that the $3.28 million outflow snapped. The Solana funds fared worse over the same five days: after a $188.22 million week, their second-best on record, weekly inflows slumped by more than 97% to $2.43 million, even though that week opened with $12.70 million on Monday and another $5.44 million on Tuesday. The pullback was not XRP-specific; it caught altcoin ETF demand across the board. The durability question is where the debate now sits: our earlier conversation with the Bitwise CIO on XRP's track record argued that the asset's persistence through cycles could reassure advisers even when flows wobble, and a twelfth green week in a row is at least consistent with that view. Institutional intake of roughly $8 million across two positive sessions, offset by one $3.28 million outflow, is the arithmetic of a market waiting rather than leaving. For now the tape is quiet. The asset holds $1.50 in a tight band ahead of the October 8 breakout window we flagged, with the week's damage measured in flows rather than price.

COINOTAG's Composite Read on $1.50

COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine frames the setup at the $1.5000 spot. The $1.5016 resistance rates 63/100 on LVN, HVN and Ichimoku Tenkan confluence, with $1.6581 next at 60/100; the $1.4762 support scores 83/100 from Fibo 0.382 and the ATR Lower band, where our order-book read shows resting bids. RSI at 55.95 and an uptrend counter the bearish MACD signal. The funding rate prints 0.0071%, open interest stands at $1.12 billion, and accounts lean 72.8% long at a 2.68 ratio, even after the top-trader long ratio shed 18 points, with Fear & Greed at 70. A daily candlestick close under $1.4762 would invalidate the bullish case and open $1.3964; holding it keeps $1.6581 in play on our XRP technical analysis desk. Last week's $4.74 million intake ran at roughly one sixteenth of the prior $75.59 million.
