Key Facts

• XRP ETFs recorded about $110.49 million in weekly inflows, their strongest weekly total this year.
• U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted roughly 73.2 million XRP, worth about $105 million, during the week of August 24.
• XRP held a key demand zone between $1.35 and $1.38, where about 3.2 billion XRP previously changed hands.
• Analyst Ali Martinez said XRP confirmed a breakout above resistance and identified $1.70 as the next price target.
• Renewed ETF inflows followed improved U.S. regulatory clarity after the court ruled that XRP itself is not a security.

XRP ETFs have regained momentum after months of weak daily inflows, with fresh capital returning as the price holds above key support levels. The latest fund data points to stronger institutional participation while the token's recent rally begins to cool. The rebound echoes the pattern seen with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which launched in January 2024 and demonstrated that regulated exchange-traded wrappers can channel sustained institutional demand into crypto assets, a playbook XRP products have followed since their own debut late last year.

XRP ETFs Record Strong Weekly Inflows

Data from SoSoValue shows XRP ETFs drew more than $28 million on August 26 after recording no inflows on August 14. The turnaround came within two weeks and followed a period in which several trading sessions showed little or no fresh demand.

The funds also posted about $110.49 million in weekly inflows, their highest weekly total this year. The figure suggests activity has returned toward levels seen after the products launched late last year.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said U.S. spot XRP ETFs received about 73.2 million XRP during the week of August 24. At recent prices, the purchases were worth roughly $105 million.

The inflows arrived as XRP recovered from a sharp correction. XRP had climbed 71.8% from $0.988 to $1.698 before falling about 20% and testing a major support area.

On-chain data shows traders exchanged about 3.2 billion XRP between $1.35 and $1.38. That range has become an important demand zone after the recent pullback. Demand zones of this kind are tracked because they mark price levels where large volumes previously changed hands, which traders often watch as areas where buying interest may re-emerge.

XRP later moved above nearby resistance, prompting Martinez to call the breakout confirmed and set $1.70 as the next target. The price move followed a successful retest of the $1.35 to $1.38 area.

Regulatory Clarity Supports ETF Participation

Institutional interest in XRP has also developed after greater legal clarity in the United States. Judge Analisa Torres previously ruled that XRP itself was not a security in the case between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission. That 2023 ruling came after the SEC sued Ripple in December 2020, a case whose outcome had long been viewed as a key overhang for XRP's institutional adoption in the U.S.

That decision reduced a key legal concern for investors considering exposure to XRP. The latest inflows indicate that institutional participation is increasing as regulated investment products attract new capital.

The combination of stronger ETF demand and firm technical support has kept XRP in focus. However, the token has slowed from its recent rally, leaving traders to watch whether fund inflows remain strong and whether XRP can continue holding above the main support zone in coming sessions. Weekly ETF flow reports, which SoSoValue and similar trackers publish, will offer the next concrete signal of whether institutional demand is sustaining.
