13F filings put investment advisers on top of XRP ETF holdings

Spot XRP exchange-traded funds have seen about $1.6 billion in net inflows since they began trading. Investment advisers are the category buying the most, second-quarter 13F filings show.

Seyffart puts the tally at $1.8 billion

The funds stretched their inflow streak to nine consecutive days, taking in $26.2 million on August 28, according to SoSoValue data. The products pulled in over $725 million over that nine-day window.

Cumulative net inflows reached about $1.6 billion. Total net assets were about the same. Daily hauls have been spotty, anywhere from about $2.4 million to over $28 million.

“XRP ETF flows have been surprisingly resilient. Money in the aggregate has mostly only gone one direction and now they have a total of $1.8 billion in cumulative net inflows. When you look at this compared $XRP price over this time period … its particularly impressive,” posted James Seyffart on X.

According to his own calculations, net inflows totaled about $1.8 billion, which is more than the SoSoValue number.

Compared to XRP’s price over the same period, Seyffart said the run was “particularly impressive.” XRP was the odd one out this week, still drawing in cash, as Bitcoin funds ended a nine-day streak of inflows.

Goldman Sachs holds about $87.4 million across XRP funds

Using 13F filings from the second quarter, Seyffart broke down the holders. Goldman Sachs has the most spot XRP ETF exposure, with about $87.4 million. Jane Street and Millennium Management are next, each with about the same amount of $16.6 million.

By type of firm, investment advisers held and moved the most money during the quarter, far ahead of hedge funds and brokerages. That composition points to buy-and-hold client portfolios.

To start, Canary Capital’s XRPC was used to launch US spot XRP ETFs on November 13. By mid-December, they had about $1.18 billion in assets and had seen 30 days of straight inflows.

Ripple’s fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ended in August 2025, when both sides dropped their appeals and left a $125 million penalty standing.

Judge Analisa Torres had imposed that penalty a year earlier, after ruling in 2023 that XRP was sold as an unregistered security to institutions.

According to CoinGecko data, XRP was trading at around $1.35, down 2.44% on the day and 7.07% on the week.
