## XRP ETFs stuck below $2 billion
XRP ETF inflows hit $1.71 billion as of September 18, 2026, leaving a $290 million gap to reach the next major milestone. The pace of new money has slowed dramatically over the past three weeks.
## August brought record inflows
The week ending August 28 saw $110.49 million in inflows, more than the three most recent weeks combined. This suggests significant momentum can still occur when new buyers enter the market.

## Three weeks of declining inflows
Week ending September 4 brought $13.32 million, September 11 brought $18.98 million, and September 18 brought only $9.57 million. The three-week average is $13.96 million, with the most recent week hitting the lowest point.
## Senate rejects crypto clarity bill
On September 15, the Senate voted 49 to 50 against the CLARITY Act, which aimed to clarify how US regulators treat digital assets. XRP ETFs recorded zero inflows that day.
## Fed rate hike drives modest gains
The Federal Reserve raised its target range by 25 basis points to 3.75 to 4.00 percent on September 16, leading to $3.5 million in XRP ETF inflows, mainly from Franklin Templeton. It was the only positive day that week.
## Bitcoin ETFs dwarf XRP by 32x
Bitcoin spot ETFs hold $55.16 billion in cumulative inflows, 32 times larger than XRP's total. Ethereum holds $13.25 billion, or 7.7 times XRP's amount. Bitcoin alone took in $433 million on September 18.
## Solana catching up to XRP
Solana spot ETFs totaled $1.37 billion as of September 17, making XRP's lead only 25 percent larger. Solana has enjoyed 12 consecutive weeks of positive inflows while XRP's total has barely moved.
## April 2027 is most likely target
At the current pace of $9.57 million weekly, XRP ETFs would reach $2 billion around April 16, 2027. Faster scenarios range from January to October 2026, but the slowest recent week suggests April is most likely unless momentum returns.
## XRP price stable despite fund slowdown
XRP closed at $1.41, up 3.45 percent over the week ending September 19. Spot market buyers show stronger activity than fund investors, suggesting retail interest remains while institutional appetite has cooled.
## Key takeaway

XRP ETF inflows have stalled at $1.71 billion with only $290 million needed to reach $2 billion, but recent weeks show declining momentum that could push the milestone to April 2027 or beyond.
