bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that US-listed spot Ether and XRP exchange-traded fund inflow streaks ended on Wednesday. Spot Ether ETFs recorded $48 million in net outflows, breaking a 12-day consecutive inflow streak that had attracted $1.62 billion. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF led Ether fund outflows with $53.4 million, while the Fidelity Ethereum Fund lost $26.2 million and the Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF shed $23.5 million.
BlackRock’s staked Ether ETF partially offset those withdrawals with around $53 million in net inflows. Spot XRP ETFs also posted $7.2 million in net outflows, ending an 11-session inflow streak that brought in about $170 million. This shift lifted cumulative XRP ETF inflows to about $1.68 billion.
Bitcoin ETFs moved in the opposite direction, drawing $101.2 million on Wednesday after $236.5 million in net outflows a day earlier. The shift in ETF flows coincided with cryptocurrency price declines, with Ether leading losses over the past seven days at 3.4%, followed by XRP at 2.4% and Bitcoin at 1.3%. At the time of publication, Ether traded at $2,407, XRP at $1.36, and Bitcoin at $77,744.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 3 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is currently trading at $1.35, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 48.2% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 55.0% against a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.0%. The 1-hour volume delta is -$311,724, indicating immediate selling pressure, while the 4-hour and 24-hour volume deltas are positive at +$3,465,110 and +$6,226,293 respectively. The 24-hour cumulative volume delta (CVD) stands at +$8,487,341, with net buying occurring in 15 of the last 24 hours. The buy ratio measures the proportion of trades executed on the buy side versus the sell side, while the volume delta shows the net value of buys minus sells. Immediate buying pressure appears to be fading compared to the broader 24-hour trend, where net buying remains positive.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.5% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XRP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, XRP experienced a 5.0% price change over 8 days, with net buying occurring on 4 of those 7 days. The 7-day average buy ratio was 50.0%, making the latest day's 52.0% ratio 2.0 percentage points above average. Spot volume for the day was 0.93x the weekly average, indicating slightly lower than usual activity. The total volume delta for the 8-day period was +$5,526,979. This represents an ordinary day for the coin, as the buy ratio is only marginally above the weekly average and volume is near normal levels.
