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. Over the same period, ETFs tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana shed a combined $1.248 billion, according to CryptoSlate. The split between XRP products and the three largest U.S. crypto ETF categories was the defining feature of the week's flow data.

XRP ETFs Extend Their 13-Week Inflow Streak

An ETF inflow means investors are putting money into a fund rather than pulling it out. Thirteen straight weeks of positive flows signals that demand for XRP-based funds has remained steady even as the broader crypto ETF market turned negative.

The weekly total was built on just two active sessions out of five. According to SoSoValue data, investors added $3.14 million on Oct. 6 and $8.17 million on Oct. 8, with no net movement recorded on the other three trading days. In other words, only two active sessions were needed to push the weekly figure to $11.31 million.

Those flows bring XRP ETF net assets to $1.57 billion, with cumulative net inflows of $1.80 billion since launch. The category has expanded quickly since its U.S. debut: cumulative inflows had already crossed $1.29 billion in a prior week. XRP itself traded near $1.40 with a market capitalization of roughly $88 billion, per CoinGecko data.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana ETFs Lose $1.25 Billion

An ETF outflow means investors are withdrawing money from a fund. All three of the largest U.S. crypto ETF categories posted outflows that week. Bitcoin ETFs led the losses at $681.1 million, per SoSoValue's Bitcoin ETF dashboard, followed by Ethereum ETFs at $542.07 million and Solana ETFs at $24.81 million, per the platform's Ethereum and Solana dashboards. Together, the three categories lost a combined $1.248 billion for the week ended Oct. 9, 2026.

Ethereum funds 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. The week capped a rough stretch for Bitcoin funds as well: Bitcoin ETFs had already shed $480 million earlier in the same period, with Ethereum outflows hitting a nine-month high.

What the ETF Flow Divergence Signals

Placed side by side, the contrast is stark. XRP ETFs brought in $11.31 million, while Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana ETFs lost $1.248 billion. That means the combined outflow from those three categories was roughly 110 times larger than XRP's total inflow for the same week. For scale, the entire XRP ETF category holds $1.57 billion in net assets, a fraction of the $105.84 billion in Bitcoin ETF net assets, so the two sides of this week's divergence are fund complexes of very different sizes.

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, in "Greed" territory, 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. 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.

For holders of crypto and prospective buyers alike, the practical takeaway is to treat 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. The next round of weekly flow data will show whether XRP can stretch the streak to 14 weeks — a mark Solana funds reached before this week's reversal — and whether outflows from Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana products persist or reverse.
