Cryptocurrency Topics: XRP Fund Inflow Collapse and Forecast

Among the main cryptocurrency topics for August 2026, XRP is again in the spotlight: the weekly net inflow into US spot ETFs for this asset dropped to $1.01 million, a 93% decrease compared to $14.86 million the previous week. Against the backdrop of strong inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum funds, this is not just local weakness but a clear signal: large capital is in no hurry to return to XRP for now.

The XRP cryptocurrency is associated with Ripple and is used in the XRP Ledger ecosystem for cross-border settlements and liquidity movement. In essence, it is a digital currency for fast value transfer, but now the market’s attention is focused not on the technology but on fund behavior. It was the XRP ETF that showed one of the weakest results among major crypto instruments tracked by institutional investors at the beginning of August.

The price confirmed this weakness. XRP fell to $1.01 but held the psychological mark of $1.00. After that, the asset tried to return to the $1.02-$1.04 range, but the $1.05 level, which was broken on August 6, was not regained. For the market, this is an important threshold: as long as the price is below it, the recovery looks incomplete.
