Wall Street interest in XRP is growing as new ETF filings and steady institutional inflows point to mounting accumulation among large holders. Tuttle Capital’s recent filing for an “XRP Income Blast” ETF is the latest sign that traditional managers are seeking regulated exposure to the token.
US spot XRP ETFs quietly collected more than $75 million in April, according to SoSoValue, bringing their combined holdings to roughly 1.08 billion XRP — about 1.20% of the token’s supply. Inflows have been persistent and one-sided: since April 9 there have been no meaningful outflows, with only a minor $661,000 decline recorded during that period.
One particularly strong day saw ETFs take in $3.89 million, led by Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF trading under the ticker XRPZ. The steady pattern of deposits suggests these are likely long-term institutional positions rather than short-term retail trades.
On-chain metrics back the accumulation narrative. The XRP Ledger recorded 34.94 million XRP leaving exchanges in a 24-hour window — Santiment flagged this as the sixth-largest daily outflow of 2026 — and historically such large withdrawals from exchanges have often preceded bullish moves. On Binance specifically, roughly 94% of recent outflows were attributed to large wallets, indicating most movement came from sizable holders rather than small retail accounts.
Activity also shows active repositioning by whales. After Binance inflows had dropped nearly to zero, whale transfers back into the exchange rose to about 3,000 transactions on April 23–24, implying that large holders are moving funds strategically rather than distributing them broadly.
Despite rising ETF demand and clear on-chain signs of accumulation, XRP’s price has struggled to clear resistance. The token has repeatedly pulled back toward the $1.43 level and remains just above the $1.40 support zone, highlighting a disconnect between accumulating supply-side behavior and near-term price momentum.
Taken together, the ETF inflows, large exchange outflows, and renewed whale activity suggest growing institutional positioning in XRP — a trend that could become more visible if inflows continue or if price breaks through current resistance levels.
