XRP ETF Inflows Stall: Eight-Week Streak Ends as Fear Hits XRP Price
Spot XRP ETF inflows hit a wall, with the latest session showing zero inflows on July 13–14, ending an eight-week streak worth about $1.48B in cumulative net flows. The article links the turn to a simultaneous shift in demand signals: institutional flow softening, derivatives/retail sentiment weakening, and fear rising after XRP faced price rejection near the $1.15 resistance area.
Despite the inflow streak narrative, the products hold about $988M in assets under management, and XRP in custody is ~970.9M as of July 9—below a prior 2026 peak above $1B—suggesting XRP price depreciation has eroded the market value of accumulated positions.
On the price side, XRP extended its correction into a fourth straight session, trading in a descending channel below key moving averages: 50-day EMA ~$1.16, 100-day EMA ~$1.26, and 200-day EMA ~$1.47. RSI is around 39, indicating seller control. The near-term support highlighted is $1.04; a break could open a path toward ~$0.78.
Separately, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the company considered dissolving and distributing XRP holdings instead of fighting the SEC case from 2020. The Ripple–SEC settlement came in May 2025, after the court ruled XRP itself is not a security—paving the way for spot ETF approvals.
For traders, the core signal is clear: XRP ETF inflows have turned off, aligning with price rejection. That combination often pressures near-term momentum and can increase volatility around key support levels.
Bearish
The news is bearish because it combines a hard ETF demand signal with weakening price action. Zero inflows break the eight-week XRP ETF inflows streak (~$1.48B cumulative), suggesting that conviction is fading precisely when XRP failed near $1.15 resistance. This alignment is typically a momentum-negative setup: ETF flow reversals often lead to faster de-risking by both institutions and higher-beta retail traders.
Technically, XRP is trading below major EMAs (50/100/200-day) with RSI around 39, and the key support is $1.04. If $1.04 breaks, the article points to a move toward ~$0.78—meaning traders may accelerate short-term selling and risk hedging.
Historically, similar “flow-stops + price rejection” episodes have tended to increase volatility and extend drawdowns until ETF flows stabilize again or price reclaims resistance. Longer-term sentiment may still be supported by the post-SEC clarity and spot ETF existence, but near-term tradeability looks pressured until XRP ETF inflows recover and the market rebuilds demand around a higher technical level.
