Thirteen Weeks of XRP ETF Inflows, and Net Assets Are Still Falling

US-listed XRP ETFs have now taken in net inflows for 13 consecutive weeks, adding $11.31 million in the week ended October 9, 2026, according to SoSoValue tables, to bring cumulative inflows to a record $1.80 billion. Over that same week, the funds' net assets fell to $1.57 billion from $1.66 billion.

That is the puzzle in one line. Money keeps arriving and the pile keeps shrinking, because the value of what the funds hold moves with the XRP price, and the price has not been helping. A separate tally puts net assets lower still, at $1.51 billion by October 15, against $1.77 billion on September 25; the two series do not reconcile.

XRP ETFs Added $11.31 Million as Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds Bled

In the week ended October 9, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $681.1 million in net withdrawals, Ethereum products shed $542.07 million and Solana funds lost $24.81 million, per the same SoSoValue tables. Combined, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana funds gave back about $1.25 billion while XRP ETFs added $11.31 million, which offset less than 1% of it. XRP's weekly inflow was more than double the prior week's $4.74 million.

The divergence ended three weeks of Bitcoin ETF inflows and Solana's 14-week positive streak. For Solana it was the first negative week since June. The XRP run had already reached 13 weeks by then, a stretch that has continued even as XRPL user activity cooled.

Two Buying Days, Three Flat Ones

The week's XRP inflows came in two sessions: $3.14 million on Tuesday and $8.17 million on Thursday. The other three sessions recorded no net flows.

The daily issuer-data tracker at XRP Insights shows the same week at +7.90 million XRP, about $11.11 million, with a 6.16 million XRP net inflow on Thursday October 8 and a 430,600 XRP net outflow on Friday October 9. Total assets under management slid from $1.78 billion on October 6 to $1.64 billion on October 13.

The shape of that week matters. A 13-week streak built from two buying days and three flat ones is carried by a small number of buyers rather than steady demand, and it leaves the net asset figure exposed to the price instead of to the subscriptions.

Whale Deposits to Binance Cut Both Ways

Analyst Arab Chain reported that 30-day XRP whale inflows to Binance reached 1.669 billion XRP, a seven-month high and up from roughly 1.65 billion XRP in September. The analyst cautioned that the transfers may reflect wallet reshuffling or use of other Binance services rather than selling.

The direction of that flow could not be confirmed at its source during this research, and a separate on-chain reading published October 8 pointed the opposite way, at roughly 1.38 billion XRP of whale outflows from Binance over 30 days. Deposits to an exchange are not proof of selling on their own, and the two figures have not been reconciled.

What Would Change the Picture

XRP traded at $1.31 on October 15, down 5.11% over 24 hours and about 64% below its all-time high of $3.65 set on July 17, 2025. Crypto prices slid after a hotter-than-expected US Consumer Price Index print on October 14.

On the flow side, the condition to watch is a series of inflow sessions following the zero-flow days, which would signal renewed interest rather than a handful of orders. On derivatives, XRP perpetual futures open interest rose by around 50 million XRP to 2.37 billion tokens as the price declined, and the long/short ratio fell to 0.92, indicating bearish positioning was increasing. Analyst Ali Martinez said XRP would need to reclaim $1.60 for a stronger rebound, after a fall from $1.53 to $1.39 and a four-hour TD Sequential buy signal.

Until subscriptions start showing up in the net asset figure, the 13-week run stays a flow story, not a price one.
