cryptobriefing.com reports that XRP exchange-traded funds recorded a net inflow of $18.98 million this week. This figure marks a continuation of positive momentum for the U.S.-listed funds that track the asset’s price. Social media source @WhaleInsider provided the data, highlighting sustained investor interest.
Month-to-date inflows for September already surpassed $14.86 million as of September 8. This activity follows a robust August where XRP ETFs saw over $150 million in inflows, representing one of the strongest performances for the asset this year. The underlying XRP market has traded between $1.36 and $1.37.
ETF flows are viewed as a key indicator of institutional demand for XRP. Future developments in these inflows could influence sentiment regarding XRP’s potential to reach a new all-time high by the end of 2026. Key actors such as Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse, the U.S. SEC, and major financial institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity could play pivotal roles. Broader crypto market dynamics, including Bitcoin’s performance and regulatory developments, may also impact XRP’s trajectory.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 13 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is currently trading at $1.37, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 42.8% and the 4-hour buy ratio at 41.2%. These short-term metrics are lower than the 24-hour buy ratio of 47.4%, indicating that buying pressure is fading in the immediate term. The volume delta shows net selling across all timeframes, with -$612,415 in the last hour and -$1,647,614 over four hours. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is -$3,394,960, and the cumulative volume delta (CVD) at the close is -$7,754,730. This means that sell orders have outweighed buy orders by this amount. Net buying occurred for only 5 of the 24 hours, with a total spot volume of $66,334,228 across 247,968 trades.
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, the average buy ratio was 50.0%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 47.4% 2.6 percentage points below the weekly average. Trading volume was also subdued, registering at 0.39 times the weekly average. Net buying was recorded for only 3 of the 7 days, with a total volume delta of -$1,098,024 for the period. The price has declined by 3.3% over the last 8 days. This suggests that today’s trading activity is consistent with a broader trend of lower volume and net outflows rather than an isolated event.
