Spot XRP exchange-traded funds pulled in $60.5 million in net inflows last week — the highest weekly figure since the period ending December 26, 2025. The flood of capital pushed cumulative net inflows for all XRP ETFs to a fresh all-time high of $1.39 billion, according to data from the funds' issuers.
May inflows outpace April
May 2026 brought roughly $95 million in total net inflows across the XRP ETF category, surpassing April's $81.59 million. The steady monthly growth signals sustained investor appetite for the products even as the underlying token's price struggled to hold new highs.
Bitwise fund leads the pack
Bitwise's XRP ETF fund has accumulated $460 million in net inflows since launch, edging past Canary Capital's XRPC fund, which sits at $444 million. The gap between the two has widened in recent weeks as Bitwise's product attracted a larger share of the week's $60.5 million haul.
Price spike and resistance
XRP's price climbed to $1.55 during the week — its highest point since March 2026 — but got rejected at that resistance level and fell back to $1.40. The pullback cost XRP its fourth-place spot in cryptocurrency market capitalization rankings, with BNB moving ahead. Trading volumes spiked during the run-up and then cooled as sellers stepped in.
The CLARITY Act factor
Market participants pointed to the progress of the CLARITY Act in the U.S. Senate as one factor behind XRP's price movement. The bill, which aims to clarify the regulatory status of digital assets, has drawn attention from traders who see clearer rules as a potential catalyst. Its path through the Senate remains uncertain, leaving the token's next move tied to legislative developments.
For now, XRP ETFs keep drawing fresh money — even as the token itself can't shake its resistance at $1.55. Whether the CLARITY Act advances will be the next big test for both the funds and the coin.
