XRP ETF inflows hit their second-largest single day of 2026 even as spot price slid to $1.39 — and RLUSD's XRPL share jumped from 10% to 52% in under a year. Today's briefing breaks down what institutional money is actually buying, and what the September 15 CLARITY vote means for the supply equation.

Ripple's stablecoin just crossed two billion dollars in market cap, and the way it got there tells you something important about where the XRP Ledger is heading. RLUSD hit that milestone in under twenty months.
Aviva, abrdn, and Societe Generale are among the institutional names now active on the network. That's not speculative interest.
Now to XRP itself. On August twenty-sixth, XRP ETFs recorded twenty-eight point one four million dollars in single-day inflows.
The XRP Ledger settled one hundred and fifty-nine point nine billion dollars in the first half of twenty twenty-six. Active addresses jumped from forty-seven thousand to three hundred and sixty-five thousand, a six hundred and fifty-four percent increase.
One story worth flagging carefully. A pre-effective SEC filing from Cryptex claims Ripple may release additional escrow XRP if the CLARITY Act passes.
On that legislation: the CLARITY Act cleared Senate Banking fifteen to nine back in May. The next test is a cloture vote on September fifteenth.
One clean data point before we close. XRP's circulating supply grew five point five percent in the first half of twenty twenty-six.
