Spot XRP ETFs post a third straight zero-flow session as cumulative inflows freeze near $1.80B

XRP funds stall as weekly streak faces a test

US spot XRP ETFs registered no net flows on October 9, 12 and 13, leaving the five-fund category without fresh capital for three consecutive sessions, according to tradingnews.com. Fund-share trading volume reached a monthly low of $20.5 million on October 13. The pause puts 13 consecutive weeks of positive inflows under scrutiny: the October 12 to 16 week began with two zero-flow days.

The inactivity contrasted with renewed demand elsewhere in crypto funds. On October 13, Bitcoin ETFs attracted $175.6 million, according to the outlet’s daily comparison, while Ether ETFs received $24.8 million, ending a 10-session withdrawal streak. XRP’s flat reading signals neither renewed demand nor net redemptions; it should not be confused with an absence of trading in ETF shares.

Assets fall behind accumulated inflows

Cumulative XRP ETF inflows remained around $1.80 billion, with one five-fund tracker putting the figure near $1.81 billion, according to tradingnews.com. Combined assets were approximately $1.56 billion. The outlet described the roughly $240 million difference as an unrealized loss of about 13% relative to invested capital. That gap stood at $133 million on October 2 and about $97 million on October 7, highlighting how falling XRP prices have eroded fund values even without substantial withdrawals.

Recent inflows have also depended heavily on one provider. Of the $11.31 million received during the week ended October 9, Bitwise contributed $10.55 million. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ added $4.10 million, while Canary Capital’s XRPC lost $3.34 million. October 5, 7 and 9 each showed zero net flows. Bitwise leads lifetime inflows with $688 million, followed by XRPZ at $509 million and XRPC at $487 million; together, those funds account for 94% of the category’s roughly $1.80 billion total.

Inflation adds another obstacle

XRP fell 1.23% to $1.3498 on Wednesday after September consumer inflation came in at 3.7% year over year, above the 3.6% forecast, according to tradingnews.com. The token breached the $1.3624 support level. The outlet identifies $1.381 as a recovery threshold and $1.31 as downside support, with a break below the latter pointing toward $1.25. Those are technical scenarios, not assured price outcomes or guarantees of subsequent ETF flows.

The inflation release also pushed October Fed rate-hike probabilities to roughly 45% in futures and 55% in prediction markets, the outlet reported, as the 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.278%. September producer prices and retail sales are due Thursday, followed by remarks from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh on Friday. The Fed’s October 28 decision provides a further checkpoint for a fund category that has retained capital but is struggling to attract new allocations.

What it means for prediction markets

• The weekly flow result is the immediate test. Additional zero-flow sessions would threaten XRP ETFs’ 13-week positive-inflow streak; renewed buying could preserve it.
• Provider concentration matters. Bitwise supplied $10.55 million of the previous week’s $11.31 million inflow, making broad conclusions about institutional demand sensitive to a single fund.
• Price and flows are separate signals. Falling assets do not by themselves establish redemptions, and positive ETF inflows did not prevent XRP from losing about 8% during the week ended October 9.
• Rate expectations remain a catalyst. The reported 55% prediction-market probability of an October hike is a snapshot, with forthcoming data and Fed commentary capable of changing expectations.
