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

Seyffart highlighted the trend in a post on X. He shared Bloomberg data showing that U.S. spot $XRP ETFs have accumulated about $1.8 billion in cumulative net inflows since launching.

“$XRP ETF flows have been surprisingly resilient,” Seyffart wrote, noting that money has “mostly only gone one direction” when looking at aggregate flows.

He added that the performance is particularly impressive when compared with $XRP’s price action over the same period.

$XRP ETF Flows Continue to Climb

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

Flows then consolidated around the $1.3 billion-$1.5 billion range during the following months before resuming their upward trajectory.

The figure subsequently climbed 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 represents a roughly $1.64 billion increase from the $150 million recorded in November.

Goldman Sachs Leads $XRP ETF Institutional Holders

Seyffart’s latest ETF-flow commentary followed a post highlighting institutional ownership of spot $XRP ETFs based on Q2 13F filings.

According to his data, Goldman Sachs was the largest holder among the firms listed. It holds about $87.45 million in $XRP ETF exposure, equivalent to 84.05 million $XRP. Its exposure increased by more than 83.15 million $XRP over the last 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 ETFs Inflows Up 177%

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

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

However, Franklin’s fund, 21Shares, and Grayscale recorded no new inflows on Monday. Still, the figures suggest that demand has remained strong even after $XRP’s sharp rally and subsequent pullback.

$XRP Monthly ETFs Inflows Also Show Major Reversal

The improvement is also visible on a monthly basis. $XRP ETFs have recorded $159 million in monthly inflows in August, compared with just $27.29 million during the previous month.

Specifically, that represents a 462.7% increase. The acceleration coincided with $XRP’s explosive price move in the second half of August.

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