Summary
Bitwise has strengthened its position in the XRP exchange-traded fund market, drawing the largest share of capital on most trading sessions, according to u.today. As of October 17, 2026, the Bitwise XRP ETF held $541.12 million in net assets, per the latest data from SosoValue. The fund has passed the half-billion-dollar mark following what the report describes as consistent XRP purchases.

The data also shows total net inflows of $684.73 million since the fund launched, indicating sustained investor demand over that period. The report notes that the fund gives investors exposure to XRP price movements without requiring them to buy and manage the token directly.

According to u.today, the milestone is significant both for Bitwise and for the broader XRP ecosystem, as it points to growing institutional demand for the asset. The report cautions, however, that net assets and inflows do not necessarily correspond to an equivalent quantity of XRP bought by the fund, and that holdings could be larger than the reported dollar figure implies.
