XRP ETFs Draw $28M Inflow as Whales Stock Up
US-listed XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw significant inflows on August 26, attracting $28.14 million in a single day. This is the second-largest daily influx of 2026, with Bitwise contributing $13.12 million to this total.
Whale wallets have been accumulating XRP tokens at an impressive rate, with around 460 million tokens added since February. This surge in institutional interest comes despite recent price volatility.
XRP has broken past its 200-day EMA for the first time since October 2025, reaching a price of $1.70 before pulling back to critical support levels between $1.35 and $1.40. Market participants are now watching the $1.48-$1.52 range for potential breakout activity.
The broader market is showing signs of optimism, driven by easing US interest rate expectations and a high Crypto Fear and Greed Index.
