XRP ETF inflows have stalled at $1.71 billion, leaving a $290 million gap to the $2 billion mark. A rejected Senate bill and a Fed rate move drove a near-flat week, and at the current pace closing the gap would take 30 weeks.
XRP ETF inflows sat at a cumulative $1,710,373,047.51 on September 18, according to SoSoValue data pulled the next day. That leaves a $290 million gap to the $2 billion mark, and the pace of closing it has slowed for three straight weeks.
Two macro events barely moved the needle
Cumulative inflows stood at $1,700,813,802.26 on September 11. Over the five trading sessions that followed, the total rose by less than $10 million, coinciding with two macro events.
On September 15, the Senate rejected the CLARITY Act by a vote of 49 to 50, a bill meant to clarify how US regulators treat digital assets, and XRP ETFs recorded no inflows that day. The next day the Fed raised its target range by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%, producing $3.5 million in inflows driven mainly by Franklin Templeton. September 14 added $11.26 million, September 17 lost $5.15 million, and September 18 lost another $43,699, for a net weekly inflow of $9.57 million and total net assets of $1.51 billion. Franklin Templeton was the only issuer with a positive inflow across all five sessions, after taking in $153 million in August.
Three straight weeks of slowing inflows
Weekly totals fell from $13.32 million (week ending September 4) to $18.98 million (September 11) to $9.57 million (September 18), a three-week average of $13.96 million. At the current $9.57 million pace, closing the $290 million gap would take 30 weeks; at the three-week average it would take 21 weeks, and at the September 11 week's pace, 15 weeks. The week ending August 28 brought in a record $110.49 million, more than the three most recent weeks combined.
XRP still leads Solana, but the gap is narrowing
Bitcoin spot ETFs held $55.16 billion in cumulative inflows as of September 18, 32 times XRP's total, while Ethereum funds held $13.25 billion, 7.7 times XRP's total. Solana spot ETFs totaled $1.37 billion as of September 17, making XRP's cumulative inflow 25% larger, but Solana has posted 12 consecutive weeks of positive inflows while XRP's total has barely moved. Bitcoin's funds alone took in $433.03 million on September 18, equal to 45 weeks of XRP inflows at its current pace.
Based on current projections, XRP ETFs could cross $2 billion around April 16, 2027. Average inflows put that timeline at mid-February 2027, or as early as the first week of January 2027, while a return to August's record pace could bring it as soon as the second week of October 2026. XRP itself closed at $1.41, up 3.45% over the week ending September 19, suggesting spot buyers are more active than fund investors right now.
