XRP ETFs Buck Crypto Outflow Trend as Bitcoin, Ethereum Funds Bleed

Spot XRP exchange-traded funds attracted $1.55 million in net inflows on September 8, making them the only major crypto fund category to gain capital on a day when Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana products all suffered withdrawals, according to data from SoSoValue.

The divergence was stark. Bitcoin ETFs hemorrhaged roughly $46.65 million, Ethereum funds lost about $24.29 million, and Solana products shed $667,720. While XRP's intake was modest in absolute terms, the fact that investors added money to XRP funds while pulling from the three larger spot-crypto ETF markets underscores a pattern that has been building for weeks.

The September 8 result extends an 11-session inflow streak that pushed cumulative net inflows for U.S. spot XRP ETFs to approximately $1.68 billion as of September 1. The final week of August marked the strongest stretch of the year, with $110.49 million pouring into XRP funds and lifting cumulative flows to around $1.66 billion.

Institutional positioning has become increasingly visible in XRP products. Second-quarter filings revealed Goldman Sachs, Jane Street, and Millennium Management among the major reported holders of XRP ETFs, with Goldman's exposure estimated at roughly $87.4 million. That level of participation from Wall Street names signals a shift in how traditional finance views the token, even though Bitcoin ETFs remain dramatically larger by assets under management.
