XRP ETFs Pull in Nearly $40M, Marking Best Week Since May

XRP ETFs recorded nearly $40 million in inflows last week, marking their strongest weekly performance in three months. 

Notably, the impressive showing came as XRP recovered and recently moved back above the $1.40 level during a broader market recovery that allowed most assets to reclaim some of their losses last week.

XRP ETFs Post Strong Weekly Inflows

For the week ending Aug. 21, XRP ETFs recorded exactly $39.78 million in inflows, according to data from Sosovalue, a leading market analytics platform. 

However, the week started slowly, with the products recording zero flows on Aug. 17. Inflows then reached $5.81 million on Aug. 18, before falling to $2.35 million the next day. At the time, XRP had yet to fully benefit from the broader market rally that started at the start of the week.

Interestingly, XRP’s price action improved on Aug. 19, when the token gained 10.40%. The rally continued on Aug. 20, with XRP rising another 14.68% and closing above $1.26. 

Expectedly, the improving price action resulted in an increase in investor interest, as XRP ETFs recorded $13.24 million in inflows on Aug. 20. At the time, this marked their largest single-day inflow since June 29.

XRP ETFs See Record Weekly Volume

The momentum continued on Aug. 21, when XRP ETFs attracted $18.38 million in inflows. This was the largest daily inflow of the week and made a major contribution to the final $39.78 million weekly total.

The last time XRP ETFs recorded weekly inflows of this size came during the week ending May 15, when the products attracted $60.5 million. Although last week’s figure fell short of the May total, it still marked the ETFs’ strongest weekly performance since then.

XRP ETFs also recorded much higher trading activity last week than they did in May. Their total weekly trading volume reached $271 million, while investors added $39.78 million to the products. By comparison, the week ending May 15 recorded only $137.21 million in total trading volume, even as inflows reached $60.5 million.

Last week’s $271 million trading volume also set a new weekly record for XRP ETFs since their launch in November 2025. The figure surpassed the previous record of $218.97 million, set by the products during the week ending Jan. 9, 2026.

Six-Week Inflow Streak

The latest results also extended XRP ETFs’ weekly inflow streak to six consecutive weeks, despite XRP’s continued price struggles. Since mid-July, the products have recorded positive weekly flows, although most of the weekly totals remained relatively small.

For instance, XRP ETFs saw $1.01 million in inflows during the week ending Aug. 7 and $2.25 million during the week ending Aug. 14. Daily flows have also remained positive throughout August, with only one trading day producing an outflow.

This exception came on Aug. 5, when XRP ETFs recorded $3.58 million in outflows. Apart from that session, August has so far produced either positive or neutral daily flows, confirming steady ETF demand despite the price struggles.

The steady inflows have pushed cumulative net inflows into XRP ETFs to $1.55 billion, setting a new all-time high. Meanwhile, total net assets have also climbed to $1.33 billion.
