XRP (Ripple) has once again become the focus of institutional buying as the XRP spot ETF attracted its largest weekly inflow in 13 weeks.

According to crypto news outlet Finbold on April 17 (local time), the US XRP spot ETFs attracted $41.64 million during the first four trading days of this week, recording the largest weekly net inflow since the week of January 16, 2026. This is based on data compiled by SoSoValue, and as a result, the value of XRP held by these ETFs increased to $1.08 billion as of the compilation date.

As Friday's fund flows have not yet been reflected, there is still a possibility that the total inflow for this week could exceed this year's previous weekly record. The product that attracted the most funds this week was the Bitwise XRP ETF (XRPP), with an inflow of $17.95 million, and its net assets were tallied at $313.69 million. The Franklin XRP ETF (XRPZ) also absorbed $16.56 million, recording total assets of $252.82 million. The largest single-day inflow during the week was $17.11 million recorded on April 15, which Finbold reported as the largest since early February.

Along with the increased fund inflows, the price of XRP also rebounded. XRP rose over 9.24% in the last 7 days, trading at approximately $1.48 as of Friday, and its market capitalization swelled to $91.1 billion. The media pointed out that as weekly cash inflows into US XRP spot ETFs revived, the price also showed a corresponding rebound.

The key going forward is whether such fund inflows can be sustained. Finbold believes that if investors continue to buy XRP through ETFs, additional upward momentum could be generated in the coming days and weeks. Furthermore, the recent easing of tensions between the US and Iran is expected to improve overall investor sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, which was presented as a variable that could contribute to the recovery of risk asset preference.
