U.S. spot XRP ETFs stretched their inflow streak to 12 weeks on Oct. 6 yet held $97 million less than investors had put in, according to Sosovalue data. One overnight drop in XRP's price outweighed the day's $3.14 million net more than 20 times.
Reality

Reality
Armada Acquisition Corp. II shareholders approved the Evernorth merger, so a 473 million XRP treasury lists on Nasdaq as XRPN on Oct. 8. Only about $300 million of the $1 billion-plus raised is cash, and investors contributed XRP directly for much of the rest.
