Summary
U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded a net inflow of $708,510 on Wednesday, October 21, their first inflow in a week, according to the source article published on 99Bitcoins and syndicated on TradingView. The gain was driven by Franklin Templeton's XRPZ, which bought $2.25 million of XRP, while Bitwise's XRP ETF lost $1.55 million. Two empty trading days preceded the inflow, and the source characterizes most of October as similarly quiet.
Flows have been small and concentrated. Over the ten trading days beginning October 8, the five spot XRP ETFs took in a net $7 million, with $8.17 million of that arriving on the first day and half of the sessions recording no flows. XRPZ accounted for $14.06 million of inflows across three days in that period. Bitwise's fund, still the largest by total inflows at $680 million, lost $4.56 million over the same days, and Canary's XRPC shed $2.47 million on October 16. The week of October 12 to 16 ended with $1.83 million of net outflows, breaking a 13-week run of inflows. By comparison, U.S. spot Bitcoin funds took in about $1.07 billion from Monday to Wednesday of the same week, according to Farside data cited in the article. Cumulative net inflows since the funds launched in November 2025 total $1.72 billion. The source argues that XRP ETFs are not experiencing outflows at scale; rather, buyers are not adding much at current prices.
On the regulatory front, Ripple submitted a letter on Tuesday supporting the SEC's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets. Chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty wrote on X that Ripple "spent more than $150 million to get clarity" in its court fight. The article notes that no date has been set for a final rule.
From a technical standpoint, XRP was priced at $1.33, down 2.3% over 24 hours after being rejected near $1.40 on Tuesday. The source identifies $1.37 as overhead resistance, where a daily swing high at $1.3661 sits just beneath the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, which crossed at $1.3742 and $1.3747 on the daily chart. On the downside, $1.31 is the first support, marked by the last daily swing low at $1.3098, with $1.25 as the next floor, where buyers stepped in on October 18. A daily close above $1.3747 would reclaim both moving averages and bring $1.40 into view, while a close below $1.31 would point to a retest of $1.25.
