$XRP ETFs continue to attract substantial investor demand, with Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart describing their flow performance as “surprisingly resilient.”

Seyffart highlighted the trend in a post on X, sharing Bloomberg data showing that U.S. spot $XRP ETFs have recorded approximately $1.8 billion in cumulative net inflows since launch.

“$XRP ETF flows have been surprisingly resilient,” Seyffart wrote, adding that aggregate flows have “mostly only gone one direction.” He said the performance was particularly notable given $XRP’s price action over the same period.

$XRP ETF Inflows Continue to Rise

The chart shared by Seyffart shows cumulative $XRP ETF flows increasing from approximately $150 million on November 13, 2025, to around $1.45 billion by January 16, 2026.

Flows then consolidated between approximately $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion during the following months before resuming their upward trend.

Cumulative inflows rose steadily through June, July and August. As of August 26, 2026, cumulative $XRP ETF net inflows stood at approximately $1.79 billion, according to Bloomberg’s graphic.

That marks an increase of roughly $1.64 billion from the $150 million recorded in November.

Goldman Sachs Leads $XRP ETF Institutional Holders

Seyffart’s latest ETF-flow update followed an earlier post highlighting institutional ownership of spot $XRP ETFs based on second-quarter 13F filings.

According to his data, Goldman Sachs was the largest holder among the listed firms. The investment bank held approximately $87.45 million in $XRP ETF exposure, equivalent to 84.05 million $XRP. Its exposure increased by more than 83.15 million $XRP during the previous quarter.

Jane Street Group ranked second, with approximately $16.64 million in exposure, equivalent to nearly 16 million $XRP, after adding about 13.57 million $XRP.

Millennium Management followed with approximately $16.20 million in exposure, representing roughly 15.58 million $XRP.

Other institutions reporting $XRP ETF positions included Intesa Sanpaolo, Marex UK Holdings, Ironbridge Private Wealth, Kaleidoscope Capital, Wolverine Asset Management, Bain Capital Private Equity and Citadel Advisors.

Weekly $XRP ETF Inflows Jump 177%

Recent flow data further highlights the acceleration in demand. $XRP ETFs recorded approximately $110.49 million in weekly inflows, a 177% increase from the $39.78 million recorded the previous week.

During the last trading session, $XRP ETFs attracted $5.64 million. Canary led the inflows with $4.71 million, taking its cumulative inflows to approximately $486.73 million. The Bitwise $XRP ETF attracted $930,420, bringing its cumulative inflows to roughly $603.56 million.

Franklin’s fund, 21Shares and Grayscale recorded no new inflows on Monday. Nevertheless, the latest figures indicate that demand has remained strong following $XRP’s sharp rally and subsequent pullback.

Monthly $XRP ETF Inflows Show Major Reversal

The improvement is also evident in monthly figures. $XRP ETFs recorded $159 million in inflows in August, compared with just $27.29 million during the previous month.

This represents a 462.7% increase. The acceleration coincided with $XRP’s explosive price move during the second half of August.

$XRP climbed from $0.9888 to $1.70, gaining 72% in just four days. The token has since corrected by 20% and was trading at around $1.37 at press time.
