XRP ETFs have set a new monthly trading volume record of more than $700 million in August 2026 as investor interest picked up during XRP’s recent price rally.
For context, XRP climbed from a low of $0.9882 on Aug. 18 to a three-month high of $1.69 on Aug. 22, marking a 71% increase in less than a week. The rally has since slowed, but XRP still trades at $1.42, up 43% from the Aug. 18 low and 34% so far in August.
XRP ETFs’ Volume Jumps as Price Rallies
The XRP ETF market benefited from the price rally, with the products recording stronger inflows and higher trading volumes as investors returned to the market. This led to particularly strong activity between Aug. 19 and Aug. 27.
As a result, XRP ETFs have now witnessed a combined monthly trading volume of $723 million in August 2026. This marks a new all-time monthly record since the products began trading in November 2025.
The figure is already 10% higher than the previous record of $652.97 million, which the products recorded in January 2026. August also has one more trading day left before the month ends.
August Trading Activity Drives Record
The activity between Aug. 19 and Aug. 27 played a major role in setting the new record. Daily volume started rising on Aug. 19, reaching $31.66 million, about three times the $10 million average. The following day, volume jumped to $125.18 million, giving XRP ETFs theirhighest single-day trading volume since their launch.
Trading volume fell to $94 million on Aug. 21 but remained well above the earlier levels. It then climbed again to $107 million on Aug. 24. Then, from Aug. 25 to Aug. 27, daily volumes came in at $67.73 million, $61.48 million, and $85.90 million, respectively.
In total, XRP ETFs recorded $573.9 million in trading volume between Aug. 19 and Aug. 27. This amount accounts for nearly 80% of the $723 million recorded throughout August.
The figures also show that most of the month’s ETF activity came during XRP’s recovery. After lower trading activity earlier in August, investors increased their participation as XRP surged, helping push monthly volume to a new record.
Monthly XRP ETF Inflows Near 2026 High
The increase in trading volume has also come with stronger capital inflows. XRP ETFs have attracted $127.34 million in inflows so far in August. With one trading day left on Monday, Aug. 31, the products need more than $4.7 million in additional inflows to beat the May record of $131.94 million.
If this happens, August would become the best-performing month of 2026 for XRP ETF inflows. At the same time, cumulative net inflows across the products have reached a new all-time high of $1.64 billion.
The Bitwise XRP ETF (XRP) leads with $587.32 million in cumulative inflows, giving it a 35% share of the total. The Canary Capital XRP ETF (XRPC) ranks second with $477.89 million, followed by the Franklin Templeton XRP ETF (XRPZ) with $459.86 million. The Grayscale XRP ETF (GXRP) ranks fourth with $137.67 million.
Meanwhile, total net assets across the XRP ETF products have climbed to $1.49 billion.
