XRP spot ETFs recorded $3.50 million in inflows over two days with no outflows, while Bitcoin and Ethereum funds lost a combined $1.11 billion. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ generated the entire September 16 inflow, adding 2.71 million XRP valued at $3.50 million, according to SoSoValue. Cumulative XRP ETF inflows reached $1.72 billion and total net assets stood at $1.40 billion. The inflows came despite the U.S. Senate’s failure to advance the CLARITY Act and a broad crypto-fund retreat following the Federal Reserve’s first rate hike in three years. Ripple also updated its XRP Ledger AI Starter Kit to support the Machine Payments Protocol, co-authored by Stripe and Tempo, enabling AI agents to make automated payments using XRP and RLUSD. Polymarket pricing showed mixed expectations for XRP, including a 56% probability of reaching $1.40 and a 51% probability of falling to $1.20. XRP was testing the $1.26-to-$1.28 support band after rejecting the $1.30-to-$1.32 area, with the 20-day EMA at $1.3447 acting as resistance and RSI at 46.29.
