That more than doubled the $4.74 million recorded the week before.<\/p>\n<p>It also kept a long streak alive that the funds had logged <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/xrp-etf-inflows-12-weeks-bitwise-flash-crash\/\">12 straight weeks<\/a> of net inflows. With last week closing positive, the weekly run is still unbroken.<\/p>\n<p>The price chart tells a different story. XRP opened the week near $1.52 and finished Friday around $1.40, after an Oct. 8 slide that touched $1.32. One weekly tracker logged a <a href=\"https:\/\/xrp-insights.com\/news\/xrp-supply-report-2026-10-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">7.3% weekly drop<\/a> on a close-to-close basis and estimated that U.S. funds now hold about 1.19 billion XRP.<\/p>\n<h2>One Issuer Does the Heavy Lifting<\/h2>\n<p>Bitwise\u2019s XRP ETF took in <a href=\"https:\/\/phemex.com\/news\/article\/xrp-spot-etfs-record-113m-net-inflows-led-by-bitwise-99503\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$10.55 million<\/a>, nearly the entire weekly total, while three of the five sessions logged zero net flow. Oct. 6 added $3.14 million, and Oct. 8, the day XRP slid to $1.32, brought $8.17 million, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-xrp-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">biggest daily print since Sept. 25<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin Templeton\u2019s XRPZ added $4.10 million and Canary Capital\u2019s XRPC went the other way, posting the week\u2019s largest outflow at $3.34 million.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the lifetime scoreboard shifted too, with Bitwise now sitting on $688 million in cumulative net inflows, ahead of XRPZ at $509 million and XRPC at $487 million.<\/p>\n<p>Put plainly, the streak survived on one dip-buying session and one issuer. Strip out Bitwise and every other fund combined added only about $760,000 on net.<\/p>\n<h2>The Gap Nobody Is Talking About<\/h2>\n<p>Sosovalue puts total XRP ETF net assets at <a href=\"https:\/\/phemex.com\/news\/article\/xrp-spot-etfs-record-113m-net-inflows-led-by-bitwise-99503\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1.57 billion<\/a>, or about 1.80% of XRP\u2019s market capitalization. Cumulative net inflows since launch stand at roughly $1.8 billion. That leaves the funds\u2019 combined holdings worth about $230 million less than the money investors have put in. Even treating it as a rough gauge rather than a precise loss figure, the direction is clear.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the gap has widened recently given that on Oct. 7, the same split came in at about $97 million, with <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/xrp-etf-inflows-12-weeks-bitwise-flash-crash\/\">$1.794 billion<\/a> of inflows against $1.697 billion in assets. A few sessions of XRP weakness more than doubled the paper loss, and buyers still added money on net.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Keep Buying a Falling Coin?<\/h2>\n<p>XRP\u2019s ETF crowd is behaving differently from the rest of the market. U.S. bitcoin funds <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WuBlockchain\/status\/2109491469237293226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shed $681 million<\/a> last week, ending a three-week inflow run, even as the bitcoin price steadied near $83,000. Of the bitcoin, ether, solana and XRP fund groups, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Cointelegraph\/status\/2109486933424456120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">only XRP finished the week in the green<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some of that conviction ties to news flow specific to XRP. To elaborate, Ripple spent the weekend answering questions about a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/security\/ripple-responds-to-critical-xrp-bug-that-threatened-fixed-supply\/\">critical bug in the XRP Ledger<\/a> that could have broken its fixed supply. The flaw was patched in September before any known exploit, and the flow data shows no sign that it spooked fund buyers.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger catalyst lands today as Evernorth, which holds about 473 million XRP, is set to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/xrp-gaining-nasdaq-exposure-as-evernorth-takes-473m-xrp-public\/\">bringing XRP exposure<\/a> to another listed stock. For ETF issuers, it is either a rival for the same investor dollars or proof that Wall Street demand for XRP products is broadening.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the ongoing streak only proves that weekly totals stayed positive. It does not indicate how deep the demand is. Bitwise carried last week almost by itself, and the overall gap between assets and lifetime inflows is widening.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\">\n<div class=\"overflow-hidden rounded-lg !bg-[#E8EDFA] p-[9px] hidden md:flex md:flex-row md:gap-3 lg:hidden\"><a aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"relative size-[150px] min-w-[150px] shrink-0 overflow-hidden rounded-[15px]\" href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ripple-responds-to-critical-xrp-bug-that-threatened-fixed-supply\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"absolute left-2 top-2\"><img alt=\"Bitcoin.com News\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"size-7\" style=\"color:transparent\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image\/?url=%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2Fbitcoin_news_newlogo.svg&amp;w=32&amp;q=75 1x, \/_next\/image\/?url=%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2Fbitcoin_news_newlogo.svg&amp;w=64&amp;q=75 2x\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/_next\/image\/?url=%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2Fbitcoin_news_newlogo.svg&amp;w=64&amp;q=75\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"overflow-hidden rounded-lg !bg-[#E8EDFA] p-[9px] hidden lg:flex lg:flex-row lg:gap-4\"><a aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"relative size-[150px] min-w-[150px] shrink-0 overflow-hidden rounded-[15px]\" href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ripple-responds-to-critical-xrp-bug-that-threatened-fixed-supply\/\"><img alt=\"Ripple Responds to Critical XRP Bug That Threatened Fixed Supply\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"object-cover\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\" sizes=\"150px\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=32&amp;q=75 32w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=48&amp;q=75 48w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=64&amp;q=75 64w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=128&amp;q=75 128w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=256&amp;q=75 256w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=384&amp;q=75 384w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2Fripple-labs-1-150x150.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"absolute left-2 top-2\"><img alt=\"Bitcoin.com News\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"size-7\" style=\"color:transparent\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image\/?url=%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2Fbitcoin_news_newlogo.svg&amp;w=32&amp;q=75 1x, \/_next\/image\/?url=%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2Fbitcoin_news_newlogo.svg&amp;w=64&amp;q=75 2x\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/_next\/image\/?url=%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2Fbitcoin_news_newlogo.svg&amp;w=64&amp;q=75\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 flex-1 flex-col justify-center gap-2\">\n<p class=\"m-0 line-clamp-2 text-base leading-[1.3] !text-[#67656E]\">XRP&#8217;s fixed supply faced a critical software threat that Ripple says was addressed before exploitation.
