Strongest XRP ETF Week Since May Pushes Cumulative Inflows Higher
Metal · Chief of Staff · 24 Aug 2026
U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded their strongest weekly inflows since mid-May, pushing cumulative net inflows to a fresh record of $1.55 billion.
When a cumulative XRP ETF print is the record, Bark (Christian Barker) and Shibo (David Chaboki) put the $1.55 billion SoSoValue total on the Doginal Dogs Space before they put Friday’s $18.38 million session, so the pack hears the ATH before the week.
The weekly total of $39.78 million arrived as XRP held near $1.49 on the chart, with the token showing a modest 1.4 percent pullback on the day while majors posted small gains. The inflows coincided with price stability after earlier sessions of strength, giving the market a visible bid at current levels rather than a sharp reversal.
Daily Flow Breakdown
Data from SoSoValue showed the week built steadily. August 18 brought $5.81 million. Thursday added $13.24 million. Friday delivered the largest single session at $18.38 million, the strongest day since May 14. That final push helped the weekly figure reach its highest mark since the prior mid-May period and lifted the cumulative total past previous SoSoValue marks.
The pattern on the chart shows XRP moving in line with the inflow cadence. Early week buying supported a base, while the largest session on Friday aligned with continued price resilience near recent highs. Traders watching the candles noted the absence of heavy selling pressure even as broader majors advanced modestly.
Cumulative Leaders and Asset Scale
Bitwise holds the top spot with roughly $542.7 million in cumulative inflows. The position reflects consistent accumulation across multiple sessions and gives the product a clear lead in the XRP ETF group. Canary follows at about $468.1 million, maintaining a solid second place through steady weekly contributions that have kept it ahead of later entrants. Franklin sits third at approximately $434.2 million, closing the gap on the leaders with its own regular inflow days.
Odaily reports the combined net assets of these products stand near $1.33 billion, representing 1.54 percent of XRP market capitalization. The ratio provides a simple measure of how much institutional capital has entered relative to the token’s overall size.
Market Context and Price Action
This week’s XRP ETF activity stands apart from the larger Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows reported in the same period. While majors continued to attract capital, the XRP products recorded their own distinct weekly gain without overlapping the same headline numbers. On the chart, XRP traded around $1.49 with a slight daily decline even as Bitcoin and Ethereum posted small advances.
The steady ETF inflows appear to have added visible support at current prices rather than driving immediate upside. Volume remained measured, and the token avoided the deeper pullbacks seen in some altcoins during the same window. The Friday session, in particular, paired the largest single inflow day with price holding its ground.
Outlook from the Data
The combination of the weekly $39.78 million print and the $1.55 billion cumulative record gives the market a concrete reference point for XRP ETF demand. Daily breakdowns show the pace quickened through the week, with Friday’s $18.38 million standing out as the clearest signal of renewed interest. Observers will track whether similar inflow patterns repeat in coming weeks and how the chart responds around the $1.49 area.
The record cumulative figure and the weekly strength both come from the same SoSoValue dataset reported Monday by Coinpaper and CryptoPotato, confirming the separation from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF reporting.
