TL;DR:
- XRP-linked funds attracted $1.77 million in new XRP purchases, lifting total net assets to about $1.12 billion despite broader crypto weakness.
- Bitcoin spot ETFs saw $228 million in outflows and Ethereum products lost $121 million, making XRP’s positive flow direction notable.
- XRP’s chart remains fragile after falling below the 100-day moving average, with $1.20 support and $1.40 resistance now central for traders watching whether inflows can offset pressure near term.
XRP-linked funds are quietly resisting the broader crypto downturn, and that contrast is drawing attention precisely because the rest of the market looks weak. Latest data shows XRP ETF clients bought $1.77 million in XRP yesterday, lifting total net assets to about $1.12 billion. The notable point is direction, not size, because the inflow arrived while capital continued leaving larger Bitcoin and Ethereum products. For XRP holders, the fund demand offers a rare constructive datapoint, even as price action remains fragile and sentiment across digital assets stays defensive through a difficult market stretch.
XRP inflows contrast with Bitcoin and Ethereum weakness
The divergence becomes clearer beside competing ETF flows. Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $228 million in outflows, while Ethereum products lost $121 million, according to SoSoValue data cited in the report. Against those withdrawals, XRP’s $1.77 million intake looks small in dollar terms but meaningful in relative behavior. Investors are not abandoning every crypto exposure equally, and that matters because selective inflows can reveal where some buyers still see opportunity, even during a downturn that has pushed many traders to reduce exposure across higher-risk digital assets and wait for cleaner signals.
Still, the inflows have not been enough to rescue XRP’s chart. The token was showing a modest rebound of around 2%, but that move did not erase recent bearish pressure. XRP had slipped toward its lowest levels since March, with $1.20 emerging as the next major support zone. The price recovery remains incomplete, especially because the asset recently fell below its 100-day moving average, now viewed as notable resistance around $1.40, while the 200-day moving average sits higher near $1.60 and continues to frame the upside challenge.
That leaves XRP in an uncomfortable but interesting position. Fund investors are adding exposure while the spot market still looks technically weak, creating a split between flows and price momentum. A breakdown below $1.20 could open a deeper decline toward the $0.60 region, making support defense critical. The first real stabilization test is reclaiming $1.40, because that would put XRP back above the 100-day EMA and suggest ETF demand is finally translating into stronger market confidence rather than remaining a bright spot inside a broader downturn for now, amid cautious liquidity and uneven altcoin follow-through over the coming sessions now ahead.
