XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) collected $11.31 million in net inflows during the week ended Oct. 9, 2026, extending their positive streak to 13 consecutive weeks. At the same time, ETFs tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana shed a combined $1.248 billion, according to CryptoSlate.
XRP ETFs Extend Their 13-Week Inflow Streak
An ETF inflow means investors are putting money into a fund, not pulling it out. Thirteen straight weeks of positive flows signals that demand for XRP-based funds has remained steady even as broader crypto ETF markets turned negative.

XRP ETFs recorded inflows in just two of the five trading sessions during that week. Investors added $3.14 million on Oct. 6 and $8.17 million on Oct. 8, with no net movement on the other three days. That brings XRP ETF net assets to $1.57 billion, with cumulative net inflows of $1.80 billion since launch. For related coverage, see Spot XRP ETFs Hit $1.29B Inflows as XRP Holds Near $1.43.
For context, XRP ETFs had already crossed $1.29 billion in cumulative inflows in a prior week, showing how quickly the product category has grown since its U.S. debut. XRP itself traded near $1.40 with a market cap of roughly $88 billion.
Key Takeaways
- XRP ETFs have attracted net inflows for 13 straight weeks.
- Only two active sessions were needed to push the weekly total to $11.31 million.
- Cumulative XRP ETF inflows have now reached $1.80 billion.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana ETFs Lose $1.25 Billion
An ETF outflow means investors are withdrawing money from a fund. The three largest U.S. crypto ETF categories all recorded outflows that week. Bitcoin ETFs led the losses at $681.1 million, followed by Ethereum ETFs at $542.07 million and Solana ETFs at $24.81 million.
Together, those three categories lost a combined $1.248 billion for the week ended Oct. 9, 2026. For related coverage, see Spot Bitcoin ETFs Posted $1.918B in Net Inflows Last Week.
Ethereum ETFs were particularly weak. Investors pulled money out in all five sessions from Oct. 5 through Oct. 9, with no single day showing a net positive figure. Bitcoin ETF net assets ended the week at $105.84 billion, while Ethereum ETF net assets stood at $15.71 billion.
Solana ETFs also reversed course. Their $24.81 million weekly outflow ended a 14-week positive streak, making Solana the only other major crypto ETF category besides XRP that had recently maintained sustained inflows. That streak is now over. This follows a rough week for Bitcoin funds as well; Bitcoin ETFs had already shed $480 million earlier in the same stretch, with Ethereum outflows hitting a nine-month high.
What the ETF Flow Divergence Signals for Crypto Markets
Put side by side, the contrast is stark. XRP ETFs brought in $11.31 million. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana ETFs lost $1.248 billion. That means the combined outflow from those three was roughly 110 times larger than XRP’s total inflow for the same week.
This kind of divergence suggests some investors shifted attention toward XRP products while reducing exposure to the larger and more established crypto funds. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index sat at 61 (Greed) during this period, so the broader market mood was not deeply negative. The outflows appear to reflect repositioning rather than panic.
ETF flows show where institutional and retail money is moving week to week. They do not, on their own, predict where prices will go next. A sustained inflow streak like XRP’s 13 weeks is notable, but it does not guarantee future gains. Conversely, one week of heavy outflows from Bitcoin or Ethereum does not mean those assets are in long-term decline. Bitcoin ETFs posted $1.918 billion in net inflows just weeks earlier, showing how quickly fund flows can reverse.
For someone holding crypto or considering their first purchase, the practical takeaway is simple: watch flow data as one signal among many. When a smaller asset like XRP quietly attracts steady inflows for 13 straight weeks while larger funds face pressure, it is worth paying attention, but it is only one piece of a much larger picture. Earlier in October, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $21.1 million in inflows on Oct. 9 alone, a reminder that daily and weekly readings can tell very different stories.
