Bitwise XRP ETF: Steady ETF Demand Supports XRP Holdings

While XRP eased lower on the chart, fresh capital kept flowing into spot ETFs and underlined ongoing holder interest.

SoSoValue data, reported Friday, Aug. 28, 2026 by Gate News, shows U.S. spot XRP ETFs took in $18.47 million on Thursday, Aug. 27. Bitwise XRP ETF $12.16 million; Franklin XRPZ $6.31 million. Cumulative net inflows about $1.637 billion; net assets about $1.489 billion. This is the new Thursday daily window, not Wednesday’s $28.14 million second-best-2026 print, not the XRPL 5 billion transaction print, and not Thursday’s Evernorth S-4.

Price Action Context

CoinGecko showed XRP near $1.42 on Friday morning, off about one percent for the session. Majors held mixed with Bitcoin flat near $79,413 and Ethereum up slightly near $2,512. The ETF inflows stood out against that modest pullback, giving the community a separate signal to track on the chart.

Bitwise captured the larger share with $12.1648 million, lifting its lifetime total near $587 million. Franklin XRPZ added $6.3058 million, bringing its cumulative inflows close to $460 million. Those two funds alone accounted for the full Thursday print and kept the overall inflow streak alive.

Community Energy Builds

Holders on the timeline noted the steady pace as a sign that demand remains broad even when prices range or chop. Daily conversations highlighted the difference between spot product buying and short-term price moves, with many framing the $18.47 million figure as continued proof of long-term positioning. The energy stayed high because the inflows arrived on a day when XRP itself did not rip higher, showing conviction beyond one green candle.

Cumulative Picture

Net assets now sit near $1.489 billion after the latest additions, a level that reflects repeated daily participation from a wide set of buyers. Community voices pointed to the consistency across multiple weeks rather than any single oversized day, keeping focus on the steady climb rather than isolated spikes.

The story on Friday centers on that contrast: prices moved sideways to lower while ETF flows stayed positive. That gap keeps the discussion active among traders and long-term holders who watch both the chart and the product data each session.
