Overview
- Ripple’s new market overview says seven U.S. XRP funds now manage about $1.53 billion and hold roughly 773 million XRP in custody less than six months after launch.
- Goldman Sachs reported a $153.8 million stake spread across Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares products, representing about 73% of the top 30 institutions’ combined exposure.
- Retail investors hold about 84% of XRP ETF assets, a share far above Solana’s ETF mix, where institutions account for 48.8%.
- The funds posted steady demand, with no net outflow days in their first month and none recorded since April 9, and cumulative inflows surpassed $1.5 billion by early March.
- Regulators labeled XRP a digital commodity in March 2026, and passage of the CLARITY Act could lock that status into law and help unlock more institutional allocations.
