Crypto News
Spot XRP ETFs have now crossed $1.6 billion in cumulative net inflows, with the funds extending their streak to nine straight days of positive flows through September 1. The eleven-day run alone accounted for over $740 million, including a $26.2 million single-day haul on August 28. CoinGlass and Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart noted that flows have stayed positive even as XRP's price action has been comparatively muted, calling the resilience 'particularly impressive.'
Why it matters
The composition of those flows is the actual story. Second-quarter 13F filings show investment advisers, not hedge funds or brokerages, are driving the bulk of demand. Goldman Sachs holds the largest single position at $87.4 million. That mix points to buy-and-hold portfolio allocation rather than short-term trading flow, exactly the kind of structural bid that tends to persist through drawdowns.
Market impact
XRP is trading around $1.34, sitting in the middle of the $1.35-$1.38 support band that analysts have flagged as the key near-term floor. A confirmed break above $1.55 would trigger the next leg of resistance testing, with $1.68 and $1.86 marking larger supply zones further out. If institutional flows stay elevated into September, XRP may hold the $1.35 floor, and a breakout above the short-term descending resistance carries price toward $1.68-$1.70. More ambitious targets sit at $2.19 on a stronger move, though the September 1 escrow release of 1 billion XRP into the market remains a supply overhang against the bid.
