In August 2026, seven U.S. spot XRP ETFs reached a record $125 million in daily trading volume, with cumulative net inflows hitting $1.57 billion. Whale investors accumulated 380 million XRP tokens in one week, signaling strong institutional interest despite XRP's price being down 57% from its peak. The ETF fee war drove expense ratios to historic lows, accelerating market adoption faster than Bitcoin's ETF launch.
