XRP generated more questions than any other cryptocurrency during a Bitwise presentation to approximately 400 wealth managers, Bitwise Research analyst Ryan Rasmussen said on Sept. 2. About 400 wealth managers attended the presentation where XRP generated the most audience questions overall. 67% of surveyed participants said they did not currently allocate client portfolios to cryptocurrency investments. 60% expected crypto prices to rise by the end of 2026, according to Bitwise analyst Ryan Rasmussen’s poll. Another 60% said they planned cryptocurrency allocations within one year, although intentions may change materially. U.S. spot XRP funds ended eleven inflow sessions with approximately $7.2 million leaving on September 2. The funds attracted roughly $170 million during the 11 sessions and had accumulated roughly $1.68 billion in net inflows since launching in November 2025. One negative session does not establish a longer-term reversal. Daily ETF flows can change because of portfolio rebalancing, short-term trading and broader market conditions. Rasmussen and Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan discussed Bitcoin, Solana, Hyperliquid, stablecoins and tokenization during the event. When asked about XRP afterward, Rasmussen said it was the most asked about throughout the presentation, adding that there was a lot of interest. The statement provides evidence of attention among attendees at one Bitwise event. It does not establish that XRP is the most popular cryptocurrency among wealth managers generally, nor does it show that participants intend to invest specifically in XRP. Institutional filings show exposure, not investor intent. Goldman Sachs was the largest disclosed institutional holder of U.S. spot XRP ETFs at the end of the second quarter, with approximately $87.4 million in XRP ETF exposure. Jane Street followed with about $16.6 million, while Millennium Management reported roughly $16.2 million. Form 13F filings provide quarterly snapshots of certain securities held by large investment managers. They do not explain whether positions are proprietary investments, client holdings, hedges or inventory supporting market-making operations. The filings are also backward-looking. Second-quarter reports show positions as of June 30 and do not reveal changes made afterward. Wealth managers still face allocation barriers. They must assess volatility, custody, liquidity, suitability and regulatory requirements. Approval processes can also differ between independent advisers, broker-dealers and larger financial institutions. Spot ETFs remove the need to manage wallets or private keys directly. They nevertheless retain exposure to movements in the underlying cryptocurrency and can experience substantial price declines. Interest in XRP may reflect several developments, including ETF availability, Ripple’s institutional expansion and activity across the XRP Ledger. In related coverage, crypto.news reported that Ripple’s regulated financial businesses continued expanding even as XRP’s price weakened. The next measurable development will be whether the stated allocation plans produce sustained fund inflows. Future 13F filings will also show whether large managers increased, reduced or exited their XRP ETF positions during the third quarter. For now, Bitwise’s event indicates curiosity rather than confirmed demand.
