  • • Bitwise's XRP ETF reached $541 million in net assets as of October 17, 2026, with cumulative investor inflows since launch totaling $684.73 million.
  • • The gap between cumulative inflows and current net assets indicates that the fund's assets fluctuate with XRP's price and that some capital has been withdrawn or lost to price movement.
  • • Recent U.S. spot XRP ETF flows have softened: net outflows of about $1.84 million from October 12 to 16 ended a 13-week inflow streak.
  • • XRP traded near $1.29 on October 17, with analysts flagging $1.25 as key support.
Summary
Bitwise's XRP exchange-traded fund had reached $541 million in net assets as of October 17, 2026, according to the publisher's report, with total investor inflows since launch of $684.73 million. The publication, Pluang, characterized the figures as evidence of growing institutional interest in regulated crypto investment products, which give investors XRP exposure without direct custody of the token.

The gap between cumulative inflows and current net assets reflects the fund's sensitivity to XRP's price. Net assets move with the token, so the reported asset base does not solely track investor commitment. The article notes that the product's trajectory could encourage additional regulated crypto vehicles, though it also acknowledges ongoing market and regulatory uncertainty.

Broader U.S. spot XRP ETF flows show a more mixed picture. Per related coverage in the same database, these funds recorded about $1.84 million in net outflows from October 12 to 16, 2026, ending a 13-week streak of positive inflows. That followed a stronger week ending October 9, which saw $11.31 million in net inflows.

On the Pluang platform, XRP was quoted at a market capitalization of Rp1.476,75 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of Rp17,65 trillion as of October 18, 2026, 02:11 WIB. The token's price was Rp23.240, up 0.43% over the prior day. Pluang users showed a buy-side preference, with 65% buy orders and an average holding period of 72 days. Technical commentary in related coverage places XRP at about $1.29 on October 17, with $1.25 identified as near-term support and a possible decline toward $0.80 if that level fails.
