XRP bulls gain ground as spot ETFs log 19th straight day of inflows
Social sentiment for XRP has turned increasingly bullish while spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have posted persistent net inflows, recording over $20.1 million on Friday and marking a 19th consecutive day of positive flows. Santiment flagged this week among the most bullish for XRP commentary across Telegram, Discord, Reddit and X. CoinGecko shows XRP trading in a roughly $1.99–$2.17 range, last quoted near $2.03. SoSoValue reports cumulative ETF inflows approaching $974.5 million and assets under management near $1.18 billion; the largest single-day intake was about $243 million on November 14. Corporate and regulatory developments have likely supported demand: the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved national trust charters for Ripple and Circle and allowed custodians such as BitGo, Fidelity Digital Assets and Paxos to convert state charters, while Ripple raised $500 million in November at an approximately $40 billion valuation and has been expanding into stablecoins, brokerage and treasury services. Market observers note ongoing Wall Street buying and institutional accumulation into XRP ETFs. For traders: sustained ETF inflows plus rising social bullishness increase the odds of further upside pressure around the $2 level, but price remains range-bound and vulnerable to profit-taking, macro volatility and any shifts in regulatory tone. Monitor ETF flow updates, on-chain accumulation metrics and news on Ripple’s regulatory and corporate moves for signs of durable institutional buying or a reversal in momentum.
Bullish
The combined evidence — a prolonged 19-day streak of net inflows into spot XRP ETFs, large cumulative AUM and notable single-day inflows, plus elevated bullish social sentiment — points to increasing demand from both retail and institutional participants. Regulatory wins (OCC national trust charters for Ripple/Circle and charter conversions for custodians) and Ripple’s $500 million fundraising at a high valuation add credibility and may reduce regulatory uncertainty, encouraging further institutional allocation. Short-term impact: positive — continued ETF flows can sustain upside and reduce sell-side pressure, though price may remain range-bound around $2 and be sensitive to profit-taking and macro headwinds. Medium-to-long term: cautiously positive — if inflows and on-chain accumulation persist and regulatory signals remain constructive, XRP could attract more institutional capital and break out of the current range. Key risks that could negate this bullish outlook include a sudden drop in ETF flows, negative regulatory developments, or broader crypto market sell-offs.
