Key Takeaways
  • • Bitwise and Franklin XRP ETFs attracted combined inflows of $22.65 million on September 25, 2026, with Bitwise leading at $18.39 million in daily inflows and Franklin contributing $4.26 million.
  • • Bitwise's XRP ETF has accumulated $677 million in cumulative net inflows, while Franklin's XRPZ product has reached $501 million, demonstrating sustained institutional demand despite price volatility.
  • • Total net assets across all spot XRP ETFs reached $1.77 billion with cumulative historical net inflows of approximately $1.79 billion, representing 1.80% of fund asset value.
  • • XRP spot ETF inflows persisted through consecutive positive sessions (September 23–25), indicating institutional capital continues flowing into XRP products even as the underlying token faced 4.6% price depreciation over the period.
  • • The positive ETF flows demonstrate a divergence between institutional investment vehicle demand and spot price performance, highlighting that ETF capital movements do not necessarily correlate with same-day token price direction.
Summary
Spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded sustained institutional inflows through late September 2026, with the two largest providers—Bitwise and Franklin Templeton—capturing the majority of capital flows. On September 25, these two issuers together attracted approximately $22.65 million in net inflows, extending a multi-day buying trend that began on September 23. Bitwise's XRP ETF dominated the session with $18.39 million in daily inflows, while Franklin's XRPZ product captured $4.26 million, according to SoSoValue data.

The cumulative performance of these products underscores growing institutional adoption of XRP exposure through regulated investment vehicles. Bitwise's XRP ETF has accumulated $677 million in total net inflows since its launch in November 2025, positioning it as the dominant player in the XRP ETF space. Franklin's XRPZ has attracted $501 million cumulatively, placing it second among XRP spot ETFs. Together, these two funds represent the primary conduits for institutional XRP exposure in the United States and broader markets.

Across all spot XRP ETFs, total net assets stood at approximately $1.77 billion on the reported date, with cumulative historical net inflows reaching $1.79 billion. XRP represented approximately 1.80% of the combined funds' net asset value. The consecutive inflow sessions through September 23–25 suggest institutional appetite has remained resilient despite unfavorable spot price action. Over the same period in which ETFs recorded $22.65 million in inflows on September 25 alone, XRP's spot price declined 4.6%, illustrating the disconnect between ETF capital flows and same-day price performance.

This divergence reflects a core principle of ETF mechanics: flows into or out of investment products represent capital allocation decisions that operate independently from immediate token price dynamics. The sustained inflows despite price weakness indicate that institutional investors and allocators view XRP as an attractive entry point or are maintaining existing positions through structured products. The data suggests that despite range-bound price action and near-term volatility, the institutional narrative around XRP remains constructive, with established financial product providers continuing to attract meaningful capital commitments.
