    Bloomberg’s James Seyffart Says XRP ETF Flows Are “Surprisingly Resilient” as Cumulative Inflows Near $1.8B

    $XRP ETFs continue to attract substantial investor demand, with Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart describing their flow performance as “surprisingly resilient.”

    Seyffart highlighted the trend in a post on X, sharing Bloomberg data showing that U.S. spot $XRP ETFs have recorded approximately $1.8 billion in cumulative net inflows since launch.

    “$XRP ETF flows have been surprisingly resilient,” Seyffart wrote, adding that aggregate flows have “mostly only gone one direction.” He said the performance was particularly notable given $XRP’s price action over the same period.

    $XRP ETF Inflows Continue to Rise

    The chart shared by Seyffart shows cumulative $XRP ETF flows increasing from approximately $150 million on November 13, 2025, to around $1.45 billion by January 16, 2026.

    Flows then consolidated between approximately $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion during the following months before resuming their upward trend.

    Cumulative inflows rose steadily through June, July and August. As of August 26, 2026, cumulative $XRP ETF net inflows stood at approximately $1.79 billion, according to Bloomberg’s graphic.

    That marks an increase of roughly $1.64 billion from the $150 million recorded in November.

    Goldman Sachs Leads $XRP ETF Institutional Holders

    Seyffart’s latest ETF-flow update followed an earlier post highlighting institutional ownership of spot $XRP ETFs based on second-quarter 13F filings.

    According to his data, Goldman Sachs was the largest holder among the listed firms. The investment bank held approximately $87.45 million in $XRP ETF exposure, equivalent to 84.05 million $XRP. Its exposure increased by more than 83.15 million $XRP during the previous quarter.

    Jane Street Group ranked second, with approximately $16.64 million in exposure, equivalent to nearly 16 million $XRP, after adding about 13.57 million $XRP.

    Millennium Management followed with approximately $16.20 million in exposure, representing roughly 15.58 million $XRP.

    Other institutions reporting $XRP ETF positions included Intesa Sanpaolo, Marex UK Holdings, Ironbridge Private Wealth, Kaleidoscope Capital, Wolverine Asset Management, Bain Capital Private Equity and Citadel Advisors.

    Weekly $XRP ETF Inflows Jump 177%

    Recent flow data further highlights the acceleration in demand. $XRP ETFs recorded approximately $110.49 million in weekly inflows, a 177% increase from the $39.78 million recorded the previous week.

    During the last trading session, $XRP ETFs attracted $5.64 million. Canary led the inflows with $4.71 million, taking its cumulative inflows to approximately $486.73 million. The Bitwise $XRP ETF attracted $930,420, bringing its cumulative inflows to roughly $603.56 million.

    Franklin’s fund, 21Shares and Grayscale recorded no new inflows on Monday. Nevertheless, the latest figures indicate that demand has remained strong following $XRP’s sharp rally and subsequent pullback.

    Monthly $XRP ETF Inflows Show Major Reversal

    The improvement is also evident in monthly figures. $XRP ETFs recorded $159 million in inflows in August, compared with just $27.29 million during the previous month.

    This represents a 462.7% increase. The acceleration coincided with $XRP’s explosive price move during the second half of August.

    $XRP climbed from $0.9888 to $1.70, gaining 72% in just four days. The token has since corrected by 20% and was trading at around $1.37 at press time.

  • XRP Defies Pre-September Fears as Analyst Explains Why History Favors a 12.19% Rise

    XRP Defies Pre-September Fears as Analyst Explains Why History Favors a 12.19% Rise

    September is traditionally viewed as one of the weakest months for the cryptocurrency market, but XRP may be positioned to defy that seasonal trend. While investors have held back ahead of a potential downturn, technical analyst Xaif Crypto has identified a notable historical pattern: since 2018, XRP has ended September higher five times and lower three times, producing an average return of 12.19%.

    September has historically been decent for $XRP average return of +12.19%, with 5 green Septembers vs 3 red since 2018.The odds have leaned bullish for $XRP heading into September. https://t.co/KleXy0FNo5 pic.twitter.com/33GdYlKgnz

    The historical performance contrasts with Bitcoin’s typical behavior, as the leading cryptocurrency often enters a correction before September begins. XRP’s current resilience is further supported by a rare period of market synchronization: during the final hours of August, XRP, XLM and Bitcoin formed identical weekly setups at the same time.

    All three assets bounced successfully from their local lows and are now testing key reclaim levels. For XRP, the critical support level is $1.35, while Bitcoin has held the $77,600 level.

    From a technical-analysis perspective, the appearance of synchronized patterns immediately before a new month may signal that major capital is positioning for a potential upward move.

    Legislation, ETF inflows and escrow could support XRP

    The bullish case for XRP extends beyond the charts, with several developments creating a supportive news backdrop at the end of August.

    Record XRP ETF inflows

    According to SoSoValue, weekly net inflows into spot XRP exchange-traded funds reached a record $110.49 million, while total assets under management rose to $1.44 billion. Banking giant Goldman Sachs also reported in its 13F filing that it held more than $86 million in XRP ETF positions.

    CLARITY Act vote

    A key Senate vote on the CLARITY Act is scheduled for Sept. 15. If passed, the legislation would establish XRP’s status as a digital commodity and remove a major source of regulatory uncertainty.

    Scheduled escrow release

    Ripple is scheduled to release 1 billion XRP tokens on Sept. 1. However, the unlock is not expected to put significant pressure on order books because between 600 million and 800 million XRP have historically been returned immediately to new escrow contracts.

    The market’s coordinated movement in lockstep, combined with institutional inflows, could create conditions for XRP to repeat its historical average September return of 12.19% and challenge bearish expectations ahead of the month.
