Funds are not the only corporate buyers circling the asset, as XRP treasury firm Evernorth has put the XRP community at the center of its <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/xrp-community-takes-center-stage-in-evernorths-nasdaq-plans\/\">Nasdaq listing plans<\/a>, a clear indicator of regulated wrappers and balance sheets competing for the same coins.<\/p>\n<p>Every XRP that lands in an ETF vault comes off exchange order books, which is why traders watch the custody tally as closely as the price.<\/p>\n<h2>Where Did Last Week\u2019s Money Go?<\/h2>\n<p>Almost all of it went to two issuers, with Sosovalue data showing <a href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-xrp-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP ETFs took in $75.59 million<\/a> from Sept. 21 to Sept. 25. Amidst these movements, Bitwise drew $58.99 million and Franklin Templeton $16.60 million, lifting their cumulative inflows to $677 million and $501 million.<\/p>\n<p>XRP Insights\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/xrp-insights.com\/news\/xrp-supply-report-2026-09-26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">weekly supply report<\/a> shows small outflows in coin terms on Monday (716,000 XRP) and Friday (473,000 XRP), sandwiched between three strong days of roughly 10 million to 12.7 million XRP each. Its window, Sept. 18 to Sept. 26, adds up to 34 million XRP, which is why trackers using different cutoffs report different weekly totals.<\/p>\n<p>Cumulatively scored, one can see that the total net assets stand at $1.77 billion against $1.79 billion in cumulative net inflows. In other words, the average dollar that entered these funds is sitting slightly underwater, a gap Bitcoin.com News also saw when it found the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/xrp-average-long-term-trader-still-down-11-75-after-rebound\/\">average long-term trader<\/a> still down 11.75% after the recent rebound.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does Thursday\u2019s Unlock Actually Mean?<\/h2>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s onchain escrow holds 31.98 billion XRP, about 32% of supply, with another 4.74 billion in operational wallets. The next monthly window opens Oct. 1 and can release up to 1 billion XRP.<\/p>\n<p>Put those side by side and the scale is striking, as one month\u2019s maximum escrow release is about 85% of everything U.S. ETFs have accumulated since launch. Historically, unused amounts have been re-locked, so the release ceiling is rarely what actually reaches the market.<\/p>\n<p>Exchange balances paint another story, given publicly attributed exchange wallets held 21.14 billion XRP, after a net drop of 625.9 million XRP across tracked wallets during the week, according to the report.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP\u2019s Price Hasn\u2019t Followed<\/h2>\n<p>XRP is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/trade\/XRP_USDT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">currently trading near<\/a> $1.48 on Binance, down about 2% on the day and below the $1.66 high it tagged on Sept. 23. Kalshi traders who priced a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/xrp-kalshi-odds-1-70-september-contract-32-percent\/\">$1.70 September print<\/a> now have two days left.<\/p>\n<p>The broader market isn\u2019t helping either, with bitcoin\u2019s price sliding to $82,705 today even after U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs absorbed $2.39 billion in the same week, roughly 32 times XRP\u2019s haul.
