XRP ETFs End 13-Week Inflow Run With $1.84 Million In Withdrawals

Spot XRP exchange-traded funds began trading in the US and quickly built a track record tracked weekly by SoSoValue, the data provider that also covers Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. Before this week, the XRP funds had logged thirteen consecutive weeks of net inflows, pulling in roughly $1.8 billion since launch. That streak made XRP ETFs one of the more consistent demand stories among newer crypto fund products, alongside the established Bitcoin and Ether listings.

A $1.84 million weekly outflow is a rounding error against $1.8 billion in cumulative inflows, so authorized participants and market makers are unlikely to see it as a reason to overhaul creation and redemption activity. For holders of the ETF shares, nothing changes in custody or access; the token itself rebounded to $1.31 in the same window. The real test for issuers is whether a second losing week follows, which would reframe this as a trend rather than noise.

ETF flows are a convenient shorthand for institutional appetite, but they can diverge sharply from what is happening on XRP's own ledger. A sharp drop in on-chain payment activity alongside the fund outflow is the more telling signal here: wrapper demand and network usage are not the same thing, and conflating them risks overstating how healthy the underlying asset's utility actually is right now.

SoSoValue's next weekly tally, covering the days after October 16, will show whether this is a one-off pause or the start of sustained redemptions. Watch also whether XRP holds the $1.25 support level analysts have flagged, given exchange reserves sitting at 11.81 billion XRP that could add selling pressure if that line breaks. A bounce back to inflows would restore the prior narrative; a second outflow week would not.
