Key Takeaways
- • XRP exchange-traded funds drew $70 million in net inflows in the most recent week, per CoinShares data reported by The Block, while the broader crypto ETP market posted $446 million in outflows.
- • Bitcoin funds shed roughly $443 million and Ethereum products lost $59 million over the same week, following the October 10 crypto liquidation event.
- • Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF alone accounted for $28.6 million of the weekly XRP inflows, close to half the sector total.
- • Spot XRP ETFs have accumulated roughly $1.69 billion in cumulative assets through the end of Q3 2026, with $307.87 million arriving in Q3 2026, according to SoSoValue data.
- • The divergence suggests allocator capital may be rotating within crypto into XRP products rather than exiting the sector, though the sample is a single week and not yet a trend.
Summary
XRP exchange-traded funds continued to attract net inflows in the week following the October 10 crypto market crash, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum products recorded heavy redemptions. According to CoinShares data reported by The Block, XRP ETFs took in $70 million last week, while the broader crypto ETP market posted $446 million in outflows. Bitcoin funds shed roughly $443 million and Ethereum products lost $59 million over the same period. XRP was one of the few crypto products with positive flows.
The backdrop was a sharp sell-off. Traders described October 10 as the largest liquidation event in crypto market history, triggered in part by President Trump's threat of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. Crypto ETPs have shed $3.2 billion combined since that shock. XRP trades near $1.30, down from a $3.65 high in July, and is roughly 40% below its summer peak.
Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF contributed $28.6 million of the weekly XRP inflows. Solana funds also remained positive, taking in $7.5 million. The XRP inflow trend is not limited to a single week. Spot XRP ETFs launched in November 2025, and Bitwise's fund drew $107 million on its first day, according to the article. SoSoValue data cited in the piece shows the XRP ETF complex, which now includes Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital and Grayscale's converted GXRP fund, reached roughly $1.69 billion in cumulative assets by the end of the third quarter, with $307.87 million arriving in Q3 2026.
The article notes that retail traders have been hurt, with 97% of XRP long positions reportedly underwater this week per data cited by OpenPR. Despite that, ETF flows have held up better than in Bitcoin and Ethereum products. The author attributes this partly to the newer, smaller investor base of XRP funds and partly to allocators using regulated wrappers from Franklin Templeton and Bitwise to access Ripple's payment and custody ecosystem without buying the token on exchanges. The article cautions that one strong week against billions in sector outflows is a data point rather than proof of a durable trend.
