Spot XRP ETFs Mark Eighth Consecutive Week of Gains but Inflows Slow Sharply
Spot XRP ETFs posted their eighth straight week of net inflows, but the ~$19 million total was well below the prior week, and Friday saw zero flows for the first time in about three weeks.
Why it matters
The slowing inflows and the return of a red day and a no-flow day suggest that the strong momentum in spot XRP ETFs may be cooling. If only one source is tracking the story, the broader significance for the XRP market remains unclear. Significance is limited given single-source coverage.

What happened
CryptoPotato reported that spot XRP ETFs recorded a green week for the eighth consecutive period, drawing in approximately $19 million in net inflows. However, the outlet noted the weekly total was significantly lower than the prior week. The week saw mixed daily flows: $14.38 million entered on September 1, followed by $7.20 million in net outflows on Wednesday—marking the first red day since August 5—then $6.14 million on Thursday and zero flows on Friday. The cumulative total net inflows reached a new all-time high of $1.68 billion. The previous week was described as the best of 2026 for XRP ETFs, with over $110 million in inflows. CryptoPotato highlighted Friday's zero-flow day as raising concerns about actual demand that had been dormant in recent weeks.
