XRP and Solana ETFs reach record inflow totals in weekly rally
Spot exchange-traded funds tracking XRP and Solana both notched fresh milestones last week, with XRP ETFs closing at a record cumulative total and SOL funds logging their best single-day haul since launching nearly a year ago. The dual rally shows institutional demand broadening beyond bitcoin and ether into the next tier of altcoin-linked products.
- XRP ETFs posted $75.89 million in net inflows for the week ended Friday (September 25), their best week in a month.
- SOL ETFs took in $86.67 million on Friday alone, the largest single-day inflow since the funds launched nearly a year ago.
- Bitwise leads both categories, holding $677 million in cumulative XRP fund inflows and $1.22 billion in SOL fund inflows.
- $75.89M XRP ETF weekly net inflows, best in a month
- $1.79B cumulative XRP ETF inflows, a new all-time high
- $86.67M SOL ETF single-day inflow, a record since launch
- $188.22M SOL ETF weekly inflows, second-best week ever after October’s $199.21M launch week
Spot ETFs tied to Ripple’s XRP token and Solana’s SOL pushed to new highs during the trading week that ran from Monday (September 21) through Friday (September 25), according to data reported by CryptoPotato. XRP funds added $75.89 million over the five sessions, while SOL products pulled in $188.22 million, the largest weekly total of 2026 for that asset class. The gains lifted cumulative inflows for both fund groups to record levels, at $1.79 billion for XRP and $1.61 billion for SOL.
$75.89M week lifts XRP ETF total past $1.79 billion
The week did not start with momentum. SoSoData showed zero reportable flows into XRP ETFs on Monday, following net outflows the prior Thursday and Friday that had cut the previous week’s total to just $9.56 million, less than half the roughly $19 million pace seen earlier in September.
Sentiment reversed on Tuesday. Investors added $20.02 million that day, followed by $18.04 million on Wednesday, $14.89 million on Thursday, and $22.65 million on Friday.
The five-day run pushed the weekly total to $75.89 million, the strongest performance in a month, and extended the funds’ streak of positive weekly flows to ten consecutive weeks. Bitwise’s XRP fund remains the category leader with $677 million in cumulative net inflows, ahead of Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ at $501 million and Canary Capital’s XRPC at $489.37 million.
$86.67M Friday inflow is largest ever for SOL ETFs
Solana funds outpaced their XRP counterparts throughout the week. Inflows opened at $26.10 million on Monday, rose to $28.87 million on Tuesday, eased to $13.77 million on Wednesday, then jumped to $32.81 million on Thursday before Friday’s surge of $86.67 million, the single-best daily inflow since the SOL ETFs launched roughly a year ago.
The $188.22 million weekly total marks a 2026 high for the category. It trails only the funds’ October launch week, when $199.21 million came in during the first days of trading.
Cumulative SOL ETF inflows now stand at $1.61 billion, a fresh all-time high. Bitwise again dominates the field with $1.22 billion in cumulative net inflows, well ahead of Fidelity’s FSOL at $231.35 million and Grayscale’s GSOL at $164.15 million.
Bitwise’s lead widens across both fund categories
Bitwise now controls the largest share of assets in both the XRP and SOL ETF markets, holding $677 million and $1.22 billion respectively against smaller totals from Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, Fidelity and Grayscale. That concentration means the pace of future weekly flows will hinge heavily on whether Bitwise’s funds keep attracting the bulk of new allocator interest.
Neither CryptoPotato’s report nor the underlying SoSoValue data addressed why flows accelerated specifically on Thursday and Friday of the week in question, leaving the immediate catalyst for the late-week surge unaddressed in the reporting.
The BlockWest read. The gap between Bitwise’s totals and every other issuer’s suggests allocators are still treating these ETFs as a single-brand trade rather than shopping across fee structures or custody arrangements. If that concentration holds as SOL funds approach their one-year anniversary in October, smaller issuers like Fidelity and Grayscale will need a distinct pitch, not just a cheaper expense ratio, to pull meaningful share away.
SOL ETFs reach their first full year of trading in October, a milestone that will test whether Friday’s record $86.67 million day was a one-off or the start of a sustained shift in allocator demand, a question the current data does not yet answer.
