# Ripple ETFs Post Best Week Since May as XRP Hits 7-Month High XRP surged to unseen levels in 7 months with $40 million flowing into ETFs. - **Source:** [CryptoPotato](https://brifing.si/source/bd22636b-ec8d-42a8-8cca-1937c50e0f6c) - **Published:** 2026-08-23 - **Topic:** [Finance](https://brifing.si/c/finance) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/a262edcb-1bc9-43ee-89e7-388ca39e0705 ## Months of stagnation in ETFs XRP ETFs saw almost no investment at the beginning of August. Zero flows were recorded on 7 out of 11 trading days. According to SoSoValue, the first significant investment came on August 18 with $5.81 million. This was the highest daily net inflow of the month. The challenging period for ETFs ended with the US Treasury's policy shift and Trump's Crypto Summit. ## Everything changed on Wednesday Wednesday, when $2.35 million flowed into ETFs, marked a turning point in crypto markets. XRP joined the rally in BTC and other altcoins with a one-day delay. Investments accelerated in the remaining week: Thursday saw $13.24 million and Friday $18.38 million in inflows. Friday recorded the highest daily investment since May. ## Weekly total reaches $40 million XRP ETFs attracted a total of $39.78 million last week. This was the highest weekly net flow since May 15. Cumulative net inflows hit a record $1.55 billion. Bitwise's XRP fund maintained leadership with $542.69 million, followed by Canary Capital ($468.12 million) and Franklin ($434.16 million). ## XRP's explosive performance Although XRP joined the rally late, it surged 70% in 72 hours to reach $1.70. The asset, which held the $1 support, experienced a sharp rise until Saturday morning. Facing resistance at $1.70, XRP dropped to $1.42 but is currently trading around $1.50. Analysts note the $1.65-$1.70 resistance must be broken to change the broader trend. ## Bitwise maintains leadership Bitwise's XRP fund leads the sector with $542.69 million in cumulative net inflows. The company outperformed Canary Capital's XRPC fund ($468.12 million) and Franklin's XRPZ ($434.16 million). Ripple ETFs, having their best week since May, benefited from the overall optimistic mood in crypto markets. Investor interest in XRP has reignited. ## Impact of US policies The US Treasury's monetary policy change and former President Trump's Crypto Summit at the White House positively impacted markets. These developments supported all crypto assets including XRP. Expectations of reduced regulatory uncertainty particularly encouraged investors. XRP's delayed reaction may stem from uncertainties in Ripple's SEC case. ## What do technical indicators say? XRP maintaining $1 support and subsequent sharp rise surprised technical analysts. The asset faced strong resistance at $1.70, experiencing over 16% drop quickly. However, rapid recovery from $1.42 shows buyers remain strong. The current $1.50 level is seen as psychologically significant. ## What it means for the market XRP's performance indicates growing interest in alternative crypto assets. Increasing ETF investments suggest rising institutional confidence. Developments in Ripple's SEC case and regulatory clarity are crucial for XRP's future. This volatility fuels interpretations that the crypto winter may be ending. ## Sources covering this story - https://cryptopotato.com/ripple-etfs-see-best-week-since-may-as-xrp-exploded-to-7-month-high/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
