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.

Milwaukee adds to its late lead

Milwaukee led the Dodgers 5-2 in the top of the eighth inning of NLCS Game 3, according to the supplied live-score summary linked to Sportradar. The update was published Oct 14, 2026, at 10:39 PM ET.

The Brewers scored one run in the eighth, increasing the 4-2 advantage reported in the previous update. The Dodgers had 4 hits at that point.

The new score put Milwaukee three runs ahead rather than two. It remained an in-progress update, not a final result.

The supplied material does not identify the scoring play or the players involved. The linked Sportradar extract contains website code rather than usable game reporting, limiting the available account to the summary.

What it means for prediction markets

• Game-winner context: Milwaukee’s additional run widened its late-game advantage, but the update does not establish the outcome of Game 3.
• No pricing evidence: No contract prices or trading activity were provided, so any change in market-implied probabilities cannot be quantified.
• Timing matters: The 5-2 score reflects the top of the eighth at the published update, not a confirmed final score for settlement purposes.
