Trading volume in Bitwise's XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) exceeded $200 million over three consecutive sessions ending August 24, 2026, marking the fund's busiest period since its November 2025 launch. The surge in activity coincided with a sharp recovery in XRP's price, boosted by the U.S. Treasury's announcement to double long-end buyback operations. As of August 23, the fund held about 328 million XRP valued at $484.6 million. While the high trading volume reflects active secondary market turnover, it does not indicate net inflows into the fund. The ETF provides investors access to XRP through traditional brokerage accounts, with shares representing proportional exposure to the underlying digital asset held in custody.

Goldman Sachs increased its holdings of XRP spot exchange-traded funds again after selling out in the previous quarter, a filing showed. A 13F report submitted to the U.S. SEC listed about $86.5 million in five XRP spot ETFs as of June 30. The largest holding by shares was Franklin Templeton’s XRP Trust, while Bitwise’s fund was slightly larger by value. The filing does not reflect intra-quarter trades or derivatives exposure.

Morgan Stanley's latest 13F is circulating on crypto social channels as evidence of an institutional XRP conviction call.
