Summary
U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded a net inflow of $708,510 on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, their first positive day in a week, according to 99Bitcoins. The inflow was driven largely by Franklin Templeton's XRPZ, which bought $2.25 million of XRP, while Bitwise's XRP ETF lost $1.55 million. Flows have been subdued through most of October. Over the ten trading days beginning October 8, the five spot XRP ETFs took in a net $7 million, with $8.17 million of that arriving on the first day and half of the sessions recording no flows at all. XRPZ accounted for $14.06 million of inflows across three days in that stretch, while Bitwise's fund, the largest by total inflows at $680 million, lost $4.56 million over the same days. Canary's XRPC shed $2.47 million on October 16. The week of October 12 to 16 ended with $1.83 million of net outflows, breaking a 13-week run of inflows.
By comparison, U.S. spot Bitcoin funds took in about $1.07 billion from Monday to Wednesday of the same week, according to Farside data cited by 99Bitcoins. Cumulative XRP ETF inflows since launch in November 2025 total $1.72 billion. The publication notes that XRP ETFs are not experiencing significant selling; buyers are simply not adding much at current prices.
On the regulatory front, Ripple submitted a letter on Tuesday supporting the SEC's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets. Chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty wrote on X that Ripple "spent more than $150 million to get clarity" in its court fight. No date has been set for a final rule.
XRP was priced at $1.33, down 2.3% over 24 hours after being rejected near $1.40 on Tuesday. According to 99Bitcoins' technical analysis, $1.37 is the key overhead level, where a daily swing high at $1.3661 sits just below the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, which crossed at $1.3742 and $1.3747. On the downside, $1.31 is the first support, marked by the last daily swing low at $1.3098, with $1.25 the next floor, where buyers stepped in on October 18. A daily close above $1.3747 would bring $1.40 into reach, while a close below $1.31 would point toward a retest of $1.25.
