XRP ETF market sees steady inflows

Net inflows to XRP ETFs have been consistent throughout July. Most recent data show 532,500 XRP of net inflows recorded on July 27, following 5.09 million XRP on July 21, 2.27 million XRP on July 20, and 6.10 million XRP on July 16.

Total assets under management (AUM) in the XRP ETF sector now stand at around $683.66 million. The Bitwise XRP ETF leads the sector with approximately $243 million in AUM, followed by the Canary XRP ETF at nearly $223 million and the Franklin XRP ETF at about $167 million.

The rising participation of institutional advisers in these funds is contributing to the sector’s steady expansion, although it still trails behind the size and liquidity of leading Bitcoin ETFs for now.
