As institutional demand intensifies and the crypto market recovers, US spot XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) continue to lead the sector with a 13-day streak and over $200 million in positive net flows this week, outshining Solana (SOL) ETFs, which recorded their third day of outflows in seven days.

XRP Funds Lead Crypto ETF Inflows

Spot XRP exchange-traded funds have extended their record-breaking streak after registering their thirteenth consecutive day of positive net flows, with $50.27 million in inflows on December 3.

The investment products have seen a remarkable performance since the launch of Canary Capital’s XRPC, the first single-token XRP spot ETF, on November 13, positioning the funds as the fastest-growing altcoin-based category.

Notably, XRPC surpassed all initial expectations and debuted on Nasdaq with a total volume of $58 million, recording around $357.54 million in positive net flows in 13 days. Last week, the second group of XRP funds went live, becoming the largest US ETF launches of 2025 with over $60 million in net inflows each during their first day.

Moreover, the category, led by Grayscale’s GXRP and Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ, surpassed other major ETFs in single-day inflows, including those based on the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, Solana, Bitcoin (BTC), and Ether (ETH).

Amid this week’s market recovery, XRP ETFs saw $89.65 million on Monday, $67.7 million the following day, and an additional $50.27 million on Wednesday, for a cumulative net inflow of $207.66 million during the first three days of December.

As a result, the leading category surpassed both Bitcoin ETFs’ $52.4 million and Ethereum ETFs’ $51.3 million positive net flows, respectively, during the same three-day period.

With a total of $874.28 million in inflows in 13 days, spot XRP ETFs have surpassed the $618.62 million total inflows of SOL ETFs, which held the record among the second wave of altcoin-based investment products.

Solana ETFs Demand Loses Steam

While XRP ETFs take the spotlight, Solana funds’ momentum has slowed, seeing their largest days of outflows this week. According to SoSovalue data, the investment products recorded $32.9 million in outflows on December 3, marking their third negative net flows day since the category debuted on October 28.

Despite pulling out positive net flows, Bitwise’s BSOL, Fidelity’s FSOL, and Grayscale’s GSOL were unable to absorb 21Shares’ TSOL $41.8 million in outflows. This performance also marks the fourth negative day for TSOL over the past week.

As reported by NewsBTC, Solana ETFs experienced a record performance in November despite the market correction, with $613 million in inflows during their 22 consecutive day positive streak.

However, the remarkable streak ended a week ago when TSOL registered negative net flows for the first time, and the category was unable to absorb them, recording outflows of $8.1 million.

SOL-based investment products started December with outflows worth $13.5 million, which were followed by strong inflows worth $45.77 million on Tuesday. On December 3, the funds registered $32.19 million in outflows, amounting to a negative net flow of $700,000 for the first half of the week, despite the altcoin’s recent price recovery.

XRP is now moving into one of its most decisive weeks in years, based on a perfect alignment of institutional developments, ETF expansion, and changing supply dynamics. The most important factor behind this trend is the concentration of Spot XRP exchange-traded funds now competing for liquidity in the United States. 

Ripple’s growing institutional footprint is also feeding expectations that this week could represent the beginning of a new bullish phase in XRP’s long-term market direction, especially as exchange reserves continue to decline.

A Landmark Week For Spot XRP ETFs

The arrival of 21Shares’ US Spot XRP ETF has modified the ETF niche, because for the first time five major issuers are trading XRP-backed funds simultaneously. Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, and now 21Shares have consolidated into a new institutional layer for XRP, and the combined demand is starting to reshape how investors are looking at XRP.

According to data from SoSoValue, total inflows into these funds have already surpassed $824 million, and it’s not even yet a full month of trading. The most interesting thing is that since launch, not a single session has recorded net outflows.

The rise in ETF demand is unfolding at the same moment that the supply of liquid XRP on exchanges continues to thin. Analysts monitoring these flows describe this as one of the most structurally significant developments in years because several Spot XRP ETFs are competing directly for circulating supply while being legally unable to source tokens from Ripple’s escrow.

A price-path sensitivity simulation run by Mohamed Bangura, which was shared by crypto analyst Chad Steingraber, adds another layer to the discussion of how Spot XRP ETFs are a game-changer for the cryptocurrency. His model assumes a baseline ETF demand of 74.5 million XRP per day, an available exchange supply of 2.7 billion XRP, and a periodic escrow addition of 300 million XRP every thirty days. 

He built three scenarios using price elasticity values of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 over a 180-day window. All of these scenarios point to huge bullish price targets, with targets ranging from $6 to extreme spikes approaching $600, depending on elasticity.

Ripple’s New Regulatory Milestone Boosts XRP

Ripple has secured a major regulatory upgrade in Singapore, giving its local subsidiary approval to operate a fully licensed payments platform capable of handling fund collection, custody, token conversion, and payouts. This step strengthens Ripple’s global payments push and positions XRP for deeper integration into regulated financial channels.

At the same time, the XRP Ledger is showing a significant rise in on-chain activity. Recent data reveals a jump in AccountSet operations to levels not seen in years, along with a noticeable uptick in new wallets and overall transaction volume. 

The combination of Ripple’s growing regulatory footprint and the XRP Ledger’s latest activity suggests that real-world usage and ecosystem growth are rising just as institutional demand through spot ETFs increases.

XRP price has formed a bullish cross on its weekly Stochastic RSI, creating a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency at a time when its price has been struggling to break away from the $2 region. The cryptocurrency has spent the past several days moving into a downturn, and buyers will now be looking to defend $2.

Even though momentum has been limited, new inflows from recently launched XRP ETFs have kept sentiment from turning full-on bearish. 

XRP Stochastic RSI Undergoes Bullish Weekly Cross

According to crypto analyst ChartNerd, XRP has just printed a bullish cross on its weekly Stochastic RSI while still sitting deep in oversold territory. The chart he shared highlights how the blue %K line has curved upward and crossed above the orange %D line at one of the lowest points of the cycle. 

With this move, the indicator has now repeated a structure that previously marked major turning points during XRP’s past market swings. Oversold weekly conditions paired with a confirmed cross are useful in predicting the early stages of trend reversals, especially when they occur after extended downside momentum. 

ChartNerd pointed out that this same configuration appeared twice recently, first in 2024 and again in 2025, and both instances produced powerful rallies. The 2024 cross preceded a surge of more than 600%, at which point the XRP price went from trading around $0.5 to trading above $3. 

The mid-2025 cross delivered a smaller yet still significant 130% run, at which point the XRP price went from hovering around $2.1 to breaking new all-time highs above $3.6 in July. 

As shown in the chart below, these earlier crosses are marked at similar low points, forming a repeating rhythm of sharp recoveries whenever the weekly Stochastic RSI resets and turns up. The current setup is in the same zone, and this opens up speculation that XRP’s price action may be forming the base of its next major upward leg.

Is Another Major XRP Pump Approaching?

Although past performance does not dictate what happens next, the indicator’s consistency on the weekly timeframe is difficult to ignore. XRP’s price is again positioned inside a compressed region just as it was before its previous large rallies. This time, the price zone to take note of is around $2.

If buyers regain strength and the wider crypto market conditions improve, most notably Bitcoin climbing back above $100,000, then the probability of a stronger XRP reaction increases. The only thing going well right now for XRP is the inflows into US-based Spot XRP ETFs, with $89.65 million worth of new institutional funds coming in on December 1.

A rally similar to the 130% rebound seen during the previous cycle would lift XRP from $2 to about $4.60. A repeat of the much larger 600% surge would place the token above $14. This creates a potential range between $4.60 and $14 if the pattern repeats itself.

• Vanguard now allows clients to trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana ETFs.
• XRP ETFs have seen $756M inflows in 11 days, with no outflows recorded.
• Goldman and other firms are boosting crypto exposure alongside Vanguard.

In a dramatic shift that signals growing acceptance of digital assets by mainstream finance, Vanguard has opened its brokerage platform to regulated crypto ETFs.

Starting this week, US investors can access exchange-traded funds tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana, marking a major reversal from the firm’s long-held resistance to cryptocurrency.

Notably, the move comes amid surging client demand and increasing institutional interest in digital assets, reshaping Vanguard’s traditional investment philosophy.

Vanguard finally embraces crypto

For years, Vanguard maintained a cautious stance toward cryptocurrencies, with former CEO Tim Buckley publicly dismissing BTC and other digital assets as too speculative and unsuitable for long-term portfolios.

The firm consistently refused to offer crypto ETFs, emphasising stability and low-risk investments for retirement-focused clients.

However, leadership changes paved the way for a rethink.

Salim Ramji, formerly the global head of ETFs at BlackRock, assumed the CEO role and gradually steered Vanguard toward regulated crypto offerings.

While the firm still will not create its own crypto ETFs or mutual funds, it now supports third-party products that meet regulatory standards, providing clients with access to digital assets while maintaining compliance.

The platform expansion enables more than 50 million US brokerage clients to trade crypto ETFs alongside other non-core assets like gold.

This could significantly increase market participation, with some predicting near-term price boosts in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Vanguard’s inclusion of XRP ETFs

Among the new offerings, XRP-based ETFs have generated particular excitement.

In just 11 trading days, spot XRP ETFs have recorded net inflows exceeding $756 million, with total assets under management reaching $723 million.

Remarkably, there have been no outflows, and major inflow events include $243 million during Canary Capital’s launch, $164 million tied to Grayscale and Franklin Templeton ETFs, and $89.65 million in the most recent session.

This rapid accumulation is reducing the liquid XRP supply on exchanges, potentially creating a supply shock that could influence pricing.

Mainstream finance accelerates crypto adoption

Vanguard’s pivot reflects a broader trend among traditional financial institutions embracing crypto.

Goldman Sachs, for example, is deepening its exposure through a $2 billion acquisition of Innovator Capital Management, which issues defined-outcome ETFs, including Bitcoin-linked structured funds.

The bank has rapidly increased its holdings in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, totalling billions in assets, while also developing infrastructure for tokenised financial products.

Industry observers view these moves as part of a gradual yet significant integration of digital assets into mainstream portfolios, indicating that regulated, institutionally backed crypto investment is shifting from a niche to a standard.

The implications of Vanguard’s decision extend beyond immediate market activity.

By allowing access to regulated crypto ETFs, the firm is providing a channel for both retail and institutional investors to participate in digital asset markets within a familiar, compliant framework.

This could draw additional inflows, potentially reshaping liquidity dynamics and market sentiment across Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana.

For Vanguard, the shift represents not only a strategic response to client demand but also an acknowledgement that digital assets have become a permanent fixture in the global financial landscape.

The rush toward the XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) has intensified as new institutional funds move closer to launch. Early data and analysts’ commentary point to a rapidly expanding ETF landscape that could significantly tilt the market toward cryptocurrency. With multiple XRP ETFs now live and more still set to launch, the market narrative is shifting towards major inflows and accelerating demand.

Over 12 XRP ETFs Still Awaiting Launch

Popular crypto analyst JackTheRippler recently highlighted that more than a dozen XRP ETFs are still lined up for launch, reinforcing expectations that institutional interest in the cryptocurrency is still expanding rapidly. Currently, XRP is already dominating the ETF market, with its inflows surpassing those of Solana and Dogecoin. 

Among the investment products still awaiting launch is the 21Shares Core XRP Trust ETF, which is expected to go live this month if final regulatory approvals align. WisdomTree also has an XRP ETF pending as part of its plan to offer a range of digital asset funds. CoinShares is in a similar position, with its XRP ETF application still under review. 

While more issuers are looking forward to a confirmation, a few have already made their market debut. The Bitwise Spot XRP ETF went live on November 20 and quickly drew attention as demand for its spot product dramatically rose. Canary Capital’s XRP ETF launched earlier on November 13, setting a historic record of $58 million on the first day of trading. 

The market expanded further when Grayscale and Franklin Templeton rolled out their XRP ETFs on November 24. Moreover, REX Osprey’s product, which launched in September 2025, was the first-ever XRP ETF approved in the US. 

With over 12 XRP ETFs still unreleased, JackTheRippler predicts that the market could soon see massive adoption. He also expects the complete launch of all XRP ETFs and the potential surge in demand and inflows that could follow to be incredibly bullish for the cryptocurrency’s price. 

The Effect Of ETFs On XRP’s Supply

JackTheRippler has also revealed in a post on X that the combined XRP ETF inflows are already approaching $1 billion within the first month of activity. Current data from SoSoValue shows inflows have reached approximately $643.9 million in just 10 days, indicating that demand has surged as rapidly as many anticipated. Should inflows continue at their present momentum, XRP ETFs could reach the $1 billion milestone within weeks. 

As more ETFs rapidly accumulate XRP to back their products, the available circulating supply on exchanges is tightening. JackTheRippler believes that if this continues, it could trigger a supply shock for XRP. Typically, when a shock like this occurs, it puts upward pressure on prices as demand outpaces the number of tokens available for trading, potentially leading to a rally.

Crypto firm Ripple recently achieved a major milestone, providing a bullish outlook for the XRP price. XRP is also seeing significant demand amid the launch of the U.S. spot ETFs, which could trigger a price surge for the altcoin. 

Ripple Developments That Are Bullish For The XRP Price

In a press release, Ripple announced that its stablecoin RLUSD has gained recognition as an accepted Fiat-Referenced token by Abu Dhabi’s financial regulator. This enables the use of the stablecoin within the region’s financial markets. This marks a positive for the XRP price, as it could boost RLUSD’s demand, thereby increasing the demand for the altcoin as the native token of the XRP Ledger. 

Notably, the on-chain analytics platform Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) recognized RLUSD as one of the fastest-growing stablecoins, with its market cap increasing by 38.8% over the last month. Meanwhile, this development follows Ripple’s completion of the Hidden Road deal, which also strategically boosts RLUSD demand and positively impacts the XRP price.  

Meanwhile, crypto pundit SMQKE recently highlighted a U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau report that acknowledged Ripple’s role in revolutionizing the cross-border payments industry through XRP. The report also suggested that Ripple’s payment system could be integrated into the traditional financial system, which would also be huge for the XRP price. 

Notably, the report specifically alluded to Ripple’s growth and expanding partnerships, which could make its payment platform the go-to choice for cross-border remittances. Meanwhile, XRP serves as the bridge currency for the effective settlement of these transfers. It is worth mentioning that Ripple Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz has also assured that stablecoins cannot replace XRP’s role as the bridge currency on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). 

XRP’s Demand Is On The Rise

A CryptoQuant analysis revealed that the XRP reserves on Binance are plummeting, which could also trigger an XRP price surge. This development comes amid the launch of the U.S. XRP ETFs. The analysis suggested that institutional demand for the altcoin via these ETFs may have contributed to the decline in Binance’s reserves. 

Binance’s XRP reserves are said to have been steadily decreasing since October and have now dropped to around 2.7 billion XRP, which is one of the lowest levels ever on the exchange. CryptoQuant revealed that roughly 300 million XRP have left the exchange since October 6. The analysis noted that this indicates that real demand is building, which is bullish for the XRP price. 

Bitcoinist recently reported that institutions last week dumped Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana for XRP, which was one of the few majors to record inflows amid the broader outflows from crypto funds. If this demand trend for XRP continues, the CryptoQuant analysis stated the XRP price could enter a more structured phase amid expanding institutional interest. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $$2.21, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Interest in XRP has increased massively after the launch of Spot XRP ETFs, leading some supporters to float a $100 per token rally before the end of the year. That scenario, however, appears highly unrealistic when basic market fundamentals are considered. 

In a recent post on X, Zach Humphries dismissed triple-digit predictions, calling them “delusional” and warning that they mislead people who don’t grasp the math behind market valuation.

The Market Cap Reality Check

Any attempt to peg XRP at $100 must first contend with its circulating supply and the resulting total valuation that such a price implies. According to Humphries, pushing XRP to $100 would demand a market capitalization of about $6 trillion for the cryptocurrency. That figure amounts to a more than 40-fold increase over current market cap levels, a leap so vast it would require inflows that dwarf anything seen in the crypto industry to date.

The entire crypto market itself has a total capitalization of about $3 trillion. Pushing a single altcoin like XRP to $6 trillion in value would mean the coin alone becomes more than twice as large as the entire crypto market combined. 

XRP reaching $100 is a 4,445% increase from its current price level. Keeping this in mind, it is really unrealistic for XRP to reach $100 even in the next year alone. Therefore, those making claims that the asset can touch $100 before 2025 ends, with only one month left on the calendar, disregard how capital moves, how long accumulation cycles take, and how much work is involved in building market caps of this size. 

The recent emergence of XRP ETFs does offer improved access for institutional and retail investors. However, the expansion needed for XRP to reach $100 is so large that no ETF launch or last-minute rally could generate the necessary inflows or supply shock within the next 35 days.

Long-Term Potential Still Exists

Although the $100 target within the next few weeks appears unattainable, that does not necessarily diminish the long-term appeal of XRP. Enthusiasts who see effects from adoption, regulatory developments, and institutional inflows may still believe in significant upside over a multi-year timeframe. Zach Humpries, for one, noted that he is still very bullish on Ripple/XRP long-term.

The purpose of Humphries’ warning message was to restore perspective, not dampen long-term bullish sentiment. The important message is for XRP enthusiasts to shift their focus away from unrealistic valuations this year and instead consider targets that align with actual market cap growth. 

In a follow-up reply to comments on his post, he mentioned a far more grounded scenario of XRP reaching the $5 region by Christmas. However, this is also very bullish and is dependent on optimism returning to the wider crypto market.

Following the launch of the historic XRP Spot ETFs, the community has been buzzing with excitement, triggering notable success for the funds over the next few days. As the exchange funds continue to attract significant inflows, a crypto expert has outlined the development that is unfolding behind the initiative.

What’s Happening Behind The XRP Spot ETFs

The Spot XRP ETFs are seeing robust growth, but what is happening behind the scenes is quite interesting and demands attention. Pumpius, a crypto expert and investor, has uncovered a subtle play among institutions that is not being shared with the general crowd.

According to the expert, ETF fund managers are legally forbidden from purchasing XRP directly from payment firm Ripple or escrow. This is due to the court’s injunction that every single ETF must acquire the altcoin on the open market only, breaking the concept of shortcuts, backdoor deals, and wholesale buying.

Pumpius has declared this underlying trend at the institutional level to be the most bullish step for the altcoin. His reason hinges on the fact that Ripple will only release what is absolutely necessary from the monthly escrow holdings. 

Furthermore, the payment firm will avoid causing taxable events this way by keeping the escrow untouched. Such a move would imply that Ripple is drip-feeding just enough liquidity to avoid dislocation while ETFs are actively absorbing circulating supply.

The expert considers this pattern the calm before a structural supply shock, and not a sign of stagnation. When the shift happens, it will be seen as a balancing act, a pressure build-up, and a loading phase.

In the meantime, fund managers are already in discussion with Ripple, which means timing coordination is currently ongoing. At the same time, the expert has highlighted that supply dynamics are now being designed in real time.

Once the early balance period concludes and ETF demand continues to rise while escrow is strictly regulated, XRP will not move at a slow pace. Instead, the expert predicts that the altcoin will experience substantial movement, breaking upside resistance levels with violence.

A High Demand For The Exchange Funds

Spot XRP ETFs have become a serious mode of investment in the landscape since their launch. Franklin Templeton recently stunned the market by introducing the Franklin XRP ETF on NYSE Arca and referring to the token as “fundamental to the global settlement system.”

Other major firms such as Bitwise, Grayscale, and Canary Capital have all rolled out their own ETFs, which attracted millions in inflows from their first day. With the robust adoption and interest in the funds, the message is clear that the demand for regulated XRP exposure is bigger than anticipated.

Despite the significant demand, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has yet to jump into the funds, stating that customer demand is still primarily centered on Bitcoin and Ethereum for now. Furthermore, they believe that regulatory clarity is still not entirely certain despite repeated victories over the US SEC.

However, if the company eventually launches its own fund, it would spur billions of capital and new institutional money. Considering its status in the finance sector, “a BlackRock ETF would be the ultimate stamp of approval.”

• XRP gains support from strong ETF inflows and institutional interest.
• CME futures and options flows add momentum to the current setup.
• Technical pressure builds as XRP tests midband resistance.

XRP is entering a decisive phase as new institutional products, shifting derivatives dynamics, and tightening technical structures converge around a market that has struggled to find a clear direction.

The XRP price currently stands at $2.23, having gained 1.6% in the past 24 hours, and continues a strong seven-day climb that has pushed its weekly performance above 17%.

Notably, despite being nearly 40% below its July all-time high of $3.65, XRP remains up around 50% this year, outpacing both Bitcoin and Ethereum over the same period.

Institutional momentum builds

A wave of new XRP ETFs has reshaped expectations among investors.

The last nine days alone brought in $643.91 million in spot XRP ETF inflows, according to data from Coinglass, while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw heavy outflows.

Major firms, including Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and Bitwise, have launched XRP funds, and early traction has been stronger than many expected.

These inflows reflect the wider structural shift that analysts at NOBI and other platforms have highlighted.

The analysts point to a growing appetite among institutional traders, who now see regulated exposure to XRP as a viable strategy in a market preparing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts.

In addition, Fed officials have signalled openness to reducing borrowing costs in December, a macro backdrop that often supports risk assets like XRP.

Some forecasts suggest that if inflows remain steady, XRP could rally strongly, pushing it towards its previous high, though conditions would still depend on broader market sentiment and regulatory clarity.

Derivatives signal shifting pressure

The derivatives market is adding another layer to the setup.

CME futures tied to XRP are scheduled to launch on December 15, pending regulatory approval.

This move places XRP alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) within the world’s largest derivatives marketplace, reinforcing its role in institutional portfolios.

At the same time, XRP options have influenced short-term behaviour.

$15 million XRP options expired on November 28 with a put-call ratio of 0.41, favoured bullish positioning, forcing market makers to buy spot XRP as hedges unwound.

Open interest dropped sharply afterwards, reducing the risk of volatile swings and leaving the market in a cleaner state ahead of new catalysts.

These intertwined factors show how futures, options, and ETF flows are beginning to align in a way that could support stronger price action.

But whether that alignment delivers immediate results will depend on how much follow-through traders are willing to commit to in the coming sessions.

XRP price forecast

On the charts, XRP has broken out of a 4-week falling channel, giving bulls an early signal that momentum may be shifting.

The MACD has flipped positive, and the 7-day moving average now acts as support near $2.11.

Perhaps the most telling structure is the Bollinger Bands setup.

XRP has been stuck under the midband for nearly two weeks, a pattern that often indicates a buildup of pressure that can trigger sharp moves.

The upper band near $2.50 marks the probable target for a breakout, while the lower band at $1.92 outlines the risk if another rejection occurs.

Such compression can precede rallies, including the possibility of a 13% push toward $2.51.

But for that scenario to unfold, XRP would need a decisive close above the midband, something the market has struggled to achieve.

Key takeaways

• XRP is up by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $2.2 per coin.
• XRP ETFs continue to record inflows as institutions position for the next run.

XRP ETFs continue to record inflows

Ripple’s XRP is up by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading above $2.2 per coin. The positive performance comes after XRP dropped below the $2.18 level on Wednesday.

Interest in spot XRP ETFs continues to improve since their launch two weeks ago. There are currently four XRP ETFs operating in the US, including Canary Capital’s XRPC, Bitwise’s XRP, Grayscale’s GXRP, and Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ.

Data obtained from SoSoValue reveal that the four XRP ETFs recorded  $35 million in inflows on Tuesday, bringing the cumulative volume to $622 million and net assets to $645 million. 

The inflow suggests that the market sentiment is improving, with more institutional investors positioning for a possible rally in the near to medium term.

However, retail demand remains low, with futures Open Interest (OI) still below $4 billion since the decline on November 11. CoinGlass data shows that XRP’s OI averaged $3.96 billion on Wednesday, down from $4 billion the previous day. XRP futures OI hit a record high of $10.94 billion on July 22 as XRP hit a high of $3.66. However, it has declined since then as XRP has lost nearly 50% of its value. 

If the OI recovers above $4 billion, it will signal growing retail demand, and XRP’s price could surge higher in the near term. 

XRP is still struggling below $2.35

The XRP/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and inefficient as XRP has failed to push past the $2.35 resistance level over the past few days. XRP tested and found support around the $1.85 level during the weekend and has added 15% to its value since then.

At press time, XRP is trading at $2.21 per coin.

If XRP continues its recovery, it could rally toward the next daily resistance level at $2.35, which is close to its 50-day EMA at $2.37. The next major resistance level is around the $2.68 level. 

The 4-hour RSI of 58 is above the neutral level, indicating a growing bullish narrative. Furthermore, the MACD lines are also within the positive territory as buyers have been in control this week.

On the flipside, if XRP fails to surpass the $2.35 resistance, it could continue its correction toward the Friday low of $1.82 over the next few days.

• Whale sell-offs and market turmoil push XRP price below key support.
• Bitwise’s XRP ETF debut adds volatility, not buying momentum.
• $1.90 support is crucial for near-term XRP stability.

XRP price has experienced a sharp downturn, slipping below the $2 mark amid a series of whale sell-offs and volatile spot XRP ETF launches.

XRP faces mounting pressure from both institutional flows and broader crypto market turbulence, and the recent activity has raised questions about its ability to hold the critical support at $1.90.

Whales offloading massive amounts of XRP

The XRP market has been heavily influenced by large holders offloading substantial amounts of XRP.

Over the past 48 hours, blockchain data shows whales moving nearly 200 million XRP, generating strong selling pressure that has outweighed buying interest.

Notably, this surge in liquid supply coincided with a broader market-wide flash crash, where Bitcoin fell to a seven-month low of around $82,000, triggering over $1.9 billion in liquidations across crypto markets.

In addition, XRP’s high correlation with Bitcoin has amplified losses, contributing to the token underperforming the broader market.

XRP ETFs bring volatility but fail to spur price momentum

Spot XRP ETFs, intended to boost institutional participation, have produced mixed results so far.

Bitwise’s XRP ETF, which is the latest XRP to go live, debuted with around $25 million in turnover.

While Canary Capital’s XRPC ETF continues to attract attention with $268 million in assets under management, the muted response to Bitwise’s XRP ETF has added short-term volatility rather than market optimism.

The market has most likely interpreted these launches as classic “sell-the-news” events, creating downward pressure on XRP price even as interest in institutional products grows.

XRP price technicals suggest a bearish trend

Technical indicators highlight a challenging environment for XRP.

After breaking below the psychological $2 level, the token is now retesting the critical $1.90 support, which analysts have identified as a major accumulation zone.

$XRP accumulation zones I’m watching like a hawk: $2.21 / $2.06 / $1.90 / $1.56.

When the macro flips risk-on… XRP won’t climb — it’ll teleport. Whales already know.

— Ripple Bull Winkle | Crypto Researcher 🚀🚨 (@RipBullWinkle) November 20, 2025

In addition, the token has broken below a multi-month descending triangle pattern and a death cross where the 50-day EMA sits below the 200-day EMA, signalling ongoing bearish momentum.

The RSI currently sits in oversold territory around 30, reflecting extreme market fear but showing no clear signs of reversal.

If the support at $1.90 fails to hold, XRP could face further downside toward $1.80 or even the $1.55 range, marking a significant drop from recent highs.

Staking and regulatory context remain long-term catalysts

Beyond immediate price movements, Ripple is exploring staking solutions on the XRP Ledger to strengthen its presence in decentralised finance (DeFi) and appeal to institutional participants.

While implementation is still distant due to technical complexity, staking could enhance network security and provide long-term incentives for token holders.

Additionally, ongoing regulatory developments, including potential changes to Basel crypto capital rules, may influence institutional adoption.

Adjustments that reduce excessive capital requirements for banks could make XRP a more attractive option for mainstream financial participation, indirectly supporting price stability.
