XRP spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted net inflows of $110.49 million last week, the highest weekly inflow so far in 2026.

On Aug. 31, blockchain media outlet The Crypto Basic reported that net inflows in the previous week were $39.78 million, while the week before that brought in just $2.25 million.

Weekly inflows rose 177.7 percent from the prior week. Flows grew from $2.25 million two weeks earlier to $39.78 million, then to $110.49 million, showing demand for XRP-linked investment products is expanding rapidly. This was the biggest weekly inflow of 2026.

By product, about $26.2 million flowed into XRP spot ETFs on Friday alone last week. That lifted cumulative net inflows since launch to about $1.66 billion. Bitwise's XRP spot ETF led the day's inflows at $15.4 million, and its cumulative net inflows stood at about $602.63 million.

Franklin Templeton's XRP spot ETF added $2.99 million, taking its cumulative total to $62.86 million. Canary Capital's XRP spot ETF also drew $5.12 million, lifting its cumulative inflows to about $483.0 million. The 21Shares XRP spot ETF attracted $2.69 million, but cumulative net flows were still at a net outflow of about $17.37 million. Grayscale's XRP spot ETF saw no inflows on the day, and its cumulative net inflows were about $137.67 million.

The trend was not limited to weekly fund flows. On a monthly basis, net inflows into XRP spot ETFs totalled $153.54 million, a sharp increase from $27.29 million the prior month. June inflows were also stronger than July's, at about $59.46 million.

The rise in inflows coincided with a sharp upswing in XRP's price. XRP climbed from about $0.9888 on Aug. 18 to $1.70 on Aug. 22, rising about 71.9 percent in four days. It later gave back part of those gains, falling more than 20 percent from the $1.70 peak, and traded around $1.37.

The fact that ETF flows increased despite the price pullback is drawing attention in the market. Even with a spot-market correction, a surge in ETF net inflows can typically be a "constructive signal". It suggests the pullback did not come with weakening institutional demand, but with stronger ETF participation.

Whether the trend continues will depend on additional inflows. If ETF inflows persist, they could become a source of sustained buying pressure and help XRP recover after the recent decline. For now, what is clear is that inflows into XRP spot ETFs expanded sharply in a short period, against a backdrop of institutional and traditional-market demand that grew during the price surge.
