XRP ETFs Have Been Frozen at $1.71 Billion. When Will Inflows Reach $2 Billion?

XRP ETFs have stalled well short of a key milestone, and three straight weeks of slowing inflows raise a pointed question: was August the peak, or can something still shake fund investors back into action?

On September 18, 2026, XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) ETF inflows were stalled at a cumulative total of $1,710,373,047.51, according to SoSoValue data pulled on September 19. This leaves a gap of $290 million to reach the $2 billion mark.

The pace of closing this gap has declined over the past three weeks. So when will XRP ETF inflows surpass $2 billion, and what changes may be necessary for that to happen?

Two Macro Events Influenced XRP ETFs by $3.5 Million

As of September 11, the total cumulative inflow stood at $1,700,813,802.26. In the five trading sessions that followed, it increased by less than $10 million, coinciding with two significant macro events.

On September 15, the Senate rejected the CLARITY Act by a vote of 49 to 50, a bill that aimed to clarify how US regulators treat digital assets. On that day, XRP ETFs recorded no inflows at all. The following day, the Federal Reserve raised its target range by 25 basis points to an upper bound of 3.75% to 4.00%, leading to $3.5 million in inflows, mainly driven by Franklin Templeton.
