Despite a brief price recovery for XRP, which peaked at $1.65 before settling around $1.55, the overall market cap remains above $90 billion. Total net inflows for XRP ETFs have stabilized at over $1.2 billion, indicating a potential consolidation phase as investors await new catalysts for growth. Institutional investors seem to be taking a breather after three months of aggressive buying into the world's first XRP (**XRP-USD**) exchange-traded funds. According to data from February 15, 2026, the initial hype that fueled these funds has started to fade, leading to a worrying trend reversal in capital flows. While the funds managed to end the week in the green, the numbers were a far cry from the record-breaking volume seen during their November debut. ### President's Day Sale - 70% Off - Unlock hedge fund-level data and powerful investing tools for smarter, sharper decisions - Stay ahead of the market with the latest news and analysis and maximize your portfolio's potential ## **Let's Break Down the Quiet Week for XRP ETFs** The market leader, Canary Capital's XRPC (XRPC), still holds the top spot with over $410 million in total inflows, but the daily activity has slowed to a crawl. - **Monday:** The week started with a modest $6.31 million in new money. - **Tuesday:** Interest dipped further to $3.26 million. - **Wednesday:** Trading volume completely flatlined, recording $0 in net flows. - **Thursday:** Investors actually pulled money out, leading to a withdrawal of $6.42 million. - **Friday:** A small bounce brought in $4.5 million to close the week. ## **XRP Price Defies the ETF Slump** Even as the funds saw declining demand, the actual XRP token spent the weekend on a rollercoaster. The asset managed to claw its way back from a recent low of $1.11, eventually hitting a multi-week peak of roughly $1.65. However, the bulls couldn't hold that level for long. The price was quickly rejected and has since settled back into the $1.55 range. Despite this pullback, XRP's price is showing significant strength against its competitors. Its market cap is holding steady above $90 billion, keeping it firmly in the race for the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market value, just ahead of BNB (**BNB-USD**). ## **XRP ETFs Have Still Hit the $1.2 Billion Milestone** Despite the slow week, the bigger picture for XRP ETFs remains positive. Total net inflows have stabilized above $1.20 billion since the first products launched. Bitwise's XRP fund (XRP) and Franklin Templeton's XRPZ (XRPZ) follow closely behind Canary, with $360 million and $328 million in assets, respectively. While the green streak that lasted for the first month has finally broken, many analysts believe this is simply a period of consolidation as the market waits for a new catalyst to drive the next round of institutional adoption.
