Spot XRP ETF Inflows Slump 94% to $4.74 Million

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

Issuer-level data from SoSoValue puts a sharper face on last week's $4.74 million total. Franklin Templeton's XRPZ drew $4.07 million of net inflows, roughly 86% of the weekly sum, and now carries $505 million in cumulative intake, while Canary's XRPC added $78,090 to reach about $490 million. Bitwise's fund went the other way with a $101,900 net outflow, and the Friday exit was entirely a Bitwise product, against Thursday's inflow led by XRPZ. The fuller tally also shows September's intake at $121.4 million, cumulative net inflows above $1.79 billion and total net assets of $1.66 billion. That gap implies roughly $133 million in aggregate unrealized losses for ETF holders, since the token's 16.2% rebound last week has not lifted prices back above investors' average entry cost.

Beyond the flows, the calendar itself now carries weight: two XRP Ledger protocol amendments are lined up for this week. PermissionDelegationV1_1, which lets an account delegate authority for specific transactions to another account while preserving the main account's security structure, is expected to activate on Oct 8 if validator support holds at the required level. It is followed a day later by fixBatchV1_2, slated for Oct 9 alongside the security-focused 3.4.1 release, allowing multiple transactions to execute as a single group that succeeds or fails together, a feature aimed at institutional payment and reconciliation use cases. Ecosystem-side, XRP Asia began operations at the XRP Seoul 2026 event in South Korea, with the Singapore-based group planning developer training, technical support and micro grants, and bank representatives attending, though attendance implies no partnership with Ripple.

(as of 22:25 UTC) COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine frames the setup at the $1.5137 spot, down 0.38% over 24 hours. The $1.5472 resistance rates 87/100 on Fibo 0.214, R2, HVN and ATR Upper confluence, with $1.6185 next at 81/100 where Fibo 0.114, Keltner Upper, BB Upper and Donchian Upper converge, and $1.6999 at 58/100 from Fibo 0.000. The $1.2929 support scores 84/100 from SMA 100, Donchian Lower, Fibo 0.618 and HVN, with $1.4075 at 75/100 behind it, where our order-book read flags Ichimoku Senkou A, Cloud Top, LVN and Value Area High. RSI at 57.91 and an uptrend counter the bearish MACD signal. The funding rate prints 0.0008%, open interest stands at $1.12 billion, and accounts lean 72.7% long at a 2.66 ratio, with Fear & Greed at 70. A daily candlestick close under $1.5110 at 70/100 would weaken the bullish case and open $1.4075, then $1.1382 at 57/100; holding it keeps $1.5472 in play on our XRP technical analysis desk, with $1.6185 at 81/100 the next upside marker.
