XRP ETFs Rebound, but Price Recovery Remains Unconfirmed
US spot XRP ETFs recorded about $4.25 million in net inflows last week, recovering from $1.84 million in outflows the week before. The rebound ended a 13-week inflow streak and was concentrated on October 21 and 22. On October 21 alone, funds drew $708,510: Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ added $2.25 million, partly offset by a $1.55 million outflow from Bitwise. Across the ten trading days from October 8, net inflows totalled about $7 million, with gains concentrated on a few days. The latest estimate puts cumulative XRP ETF inflows at around $1.8 billion since the products launched in November 2025, up from an earlier reported $1.72 billion. Net assets are estimated at $1.48 billion to $1.57 billion, reflecting XRP’s price decline. XRP traded between $1.27 and $1.36 during the latest period and was recently around $1.33, down 2.3% over 24 hours after failing to hold above $1.40. Traders are watching support near $1.31, then $1.25; a daily close above $1.3747 could put $1.40 back in focus. XRP ETFs attracted funds while spot Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana ETFs saw outflows. Separately, Ripple backed the SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets; the proposal has no final-rule date, and Ripple’s chief legal officer said the company spent more than $150 million seeking regulatory clarity through litigation. The ETF inflows point to continued interest in regulated XRP exposure, but their modest scale and XRP’s continued resistance below $1.40 do not yet confirm a sustained recovery.
Neutral
The weekly inflow rebound and roughly $1.8 billion in cumulative XRP ETF inflows indicate that demand for regulated XRP exposure remains present, which may help sentiment and provide some support during periods of weakness. However, the latest weekly inflow was modest, fund activity was concentrated on a few days, and XRP has not reclaimed the $1.40 area. The reported price range and nearby support levels leave room for further volatility if buyers fail to defend $1.31 or $1.25. In the short term, traders may treat ETF flows and a close above $1.3747 as confirmation signals rather than assume the inflows alone will drive a rally. Longer term, sustained and broader ETF demand could strengthen the case for recovery, while the SEC proposal’s lack of a final-rule timeline leaves regulatory clarity unresolved. Taken together, the evidence is mixed and does not establish a clear directional price catalyst for XRP.
