Ripple Drives Xrp ETFs to $1.32B as May Inflows Continue
Xrp spot exchange-traded funds reached $1.32 billion in cumulative inflows after adding about $28.1 million between May 4 and May 6. The flow streak extended a run that has kept these funds positive in roughly 77% of their 26 trading weeks since launching in November 2025.
That pace matters for holders watching whether institutional money is still backing the token while XRP itself fell 2% on the day to $1.38. The ETF figures show demand has remained steady even as the coin pulled back from trading above $1.45 on May 6.
Ripple funds add $28.1 million
$28.1 million came in during the three-day stretch from May 4 to May 6, lifting cumulative spot XRP ETF inflows to $1.32 billion. The latest run followed a strong launch period in November 2025, when the funds drew $666.61 million, and in December 2025, when they added $499.91 million.
$15.59 million arrived in January, followed by $58.09 million in February and $81.59 million in April. March was the outlier, with a net outflow of $31.16 million, the only negative month in the sequence listed here.
77% of weeks stayed positive
77% of the roughly 26 trading weeks since launch have produced net positive weekly flows, with outflows appearing in just six weeks. That pattern points to a funding base that has stayed engaged across more than one market phase, not just during the initial launch window.
About 60% of XRP's circulating supply, or around 36.8 billion tokens, sits at an average cost basis of $1.44. Roughly 1.16 billion XRP is concentrated in the $1.44-$1.45 break-even zone, leaving the token close to an area where buying interest and selling pressure can meet quickly.
XRP at $1.38 after $1.45
XRP was trading below that cost basis at $1.38 after briefly moving above $1.45 on May 6. The token also remains below the $3.65 cycle high reached in July 2025, while whales have sold over $6 billion since that peak.
2.6 billion XRP flowed into Binance in March 2026, adding another sign that large holders have not been uniformly accumulating. If the ETF inflow trend continues while spot price stays below the $1.44-$1.45 zone, the gap between fund demand and token price action will stay in focus for traders.
