TLDR
- XRP ETFs have posted four straight days of positive inflows since July 29, pulling in more than $15 million.
- The largest single day inflow during the streak was $7.69 million.
- Despite the recent streak, three month ETF totals fell to $219 million, well below other inflow sources.
- Real world asset value on the XRP Ledger has climbed past $4.959 billion, up 2% in the past month.
- RWA holders on the XRP Ledger grew more than 25% over the last month, reaching 199 addresses.
Ripple’s XRP has held above $1 for most of 2026. The token is still far from its all time high of $3.84, which was set nine years ago.
Even so, network activity on the XRP Ledger has stayed steady this year. Capital has been flowing in from more than one direction.
XRP ETFs are one of those sources. After a slow July, the funds have shown fresh signs of life heading into August.
XRP ETF Inflows Return In August
July was a weak month for XRP ETFs. Several days saw zero flows or very low flows into the products.
That changed toward the end of the month. Since July 29, XRP ETFs have logged four consecutive days of positive inflows.
Over those four days, the funds pulled in more than $15 million combined. The single biggest day brought in $7.69 million.
The streak is a shift from where the funds stood just weeks earlier. Still, the bigger picture tells a different story.
Looking at the past three months, XRP ETFs have only pulled in $219 million total. Monthly totals for the funds have been falling during that stretch.
That raises a question. If ETFs are not the main driver of capital into the network, what is?
Real World Asset Growth On XRP Ledger
The XRP Ledger recorded net flows of more than $1.20 billion over the past 90 days. That figure includes stablecoins moving through the network.
That places the XRP Ledger behind three other networks in net flows. Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM, TRON, and Solana all recorded higher totals during the same period.
Outside of ETF activity, the real world asset sector on the XRP Ledger has been building quietly. Tokenized asset value on the ledger has grown steadily this year.
That value now sits above $4.959 billion. That is a 2% increase over the past month alone.
The figure represents close to 1.25% of the total $398 billion in real world assets tokenized across all blockchains tracked. It is still a small slice of the overall market.
Even so, that $4.959 billion figure is far larger than the three month ETF inflow total of $219 million.
The number of RWA holders on the XRP Ledger also grew. Holders climbed more than 25% in the past month, reaching 199.
Stablecoin holders on the network grew too. That figure rose to 60.24 thousand over the same stretch.
Together, these numbers point to two separate sources of demand for the token. ETF inflows and RWA growth on the ledger are both adding capital, but from different directions.
Ripple is benefiting from both trends at the same time. The company gains from XRP as an ETF asset and from the ledger as a venue for tokenizing real world assets.
As of early August, XRP ETFs remain in their fourth straight day of inflows, while RWA holder counts on the ledger continue to climb.
