US Spot XRP ETFs Extend Inflow Streak to 9 Days

XRP ETF Inflow Streak Reaches Nine Days

US spot XRP exchange-traded funds logged a ninth straight session of net inflows on Aug. 25, taking in roughly $23.87 million and pushing August inflows past $80 million, fund-flow data shows. The daily figure was the largest since May 11, when the products recorded $25.8 million. Cumulative net inflows since launch now stand near $1.59 billion. The streak is unfolding as XRP rebounds from sub-$1 levels, with the token up about 32% in August. Unlike earlier ETF-driven rallies, this one is accompanied by a sharp rise in stablecoin activity on the XRP Ledger, suggesting liquidity is broadening beyond spot buyers. The nine-day run follows a period when ETF inflows alone failed to hold price gains, making the concurrent network growth a key difference this time.

XRP's broader rally has been unusually broad-based. On-chain data shows active addresses jumped roughly 650% to 356,070, while receiving addresses climbed more than 698%, a pattern historically associated with rising participation and elevated volatility. Three consecutive days of record volume in the Bitwise XRP ETF pointed to what analysts describe as real accumulation rather than speculative churn. Whale positioning also turned constructive: long positions that were trimmed after initial profit-taking have started climbing again, a pattern that often precedes continuation if macro conditions hold. The token remains up more than 45% over seven days despite a mild pullback, and is up about 40% over 30 days, though it is still roughly 20% lower year-to-date and well below its all-time high. It has outperformed every other major altcoin in the top 10 by market value, according to market-cap rankings tracked by CoinGecko.

Profit-taking has picked up after the run. On-chain data flagged overheating signals as large holders moved coins to exchanges, with XRP slipping about 7% on the week after the 45% surge. The pullback has not dented network-based demand: Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin has a market value approaching $2 billion, with about $963 million circulating on the XRP Ledger and RLUSD accounting for more than 90% of stablecoin activity on the network. Ledger data published by Evernorth, the largest XRP holder, showed XRPL RLUSD supply up 39% since May 20 to roughly $934 million. The dollar-backed token, which differs from algorithmic stablecoins, has become a growing source of on-ledger liquidity. That mix of short-term selling and expanding network liquidity suggests the correction is being absorbed rather than marking a trend reversal.

Technicians are watching the $1.36 support zone as the line in the sand. XRP ran to $1.69 last week, met strong resistance, and has since slipped back toward $1.40, digesting the liquidity cluster near recent highs. Analysis combining spot supply and derivatives market readings suggests short-term selling pressure has not fully cleared. If $1.36 holds, the structure favors stabilization and another attempt higher; a close below it would likely extend the pullback toward $1.28. On the upside, $1.45 is the first resistance, having flipped from prior support, and a decisive break above $1.51 would signal that upward momentum is reasserting. The consolidation is taking place above the key support rather than breaking it, keeping the broader uptrend intact for now.

Market momentum has cooled as XRP faces overhead supply. The token opened August around $1.00, reached roughly $1.69, and remains about 48% above its Aug. 19 opening even after pulling back from the high. Derivatives positioning points to potential liquidation clusters near $1.55 and between $1.42 and $1.45 that could shape the next move. Supporting the broader backdrop, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined industry representatives at a White House meeting where President Trump urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act, a bill that would divide digital-asset oversight between the SEC and CFTC. XRP's market capitalization briefly exceeded $91 billion during the rally, underscoring how quickly institutional and retail interest has returned. The regulatory optimism, combined with growing network liquidity, is providing a floor under sentiment even as momentum slows.

COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite scoring engine rates the $1.4087 resistance at 85/100, driven by the confluence of Keltner Upper and LVN, while the $1.2953 support scores 74/100 on Fibo 0.618 and EMA 200. XRP is trading near $1.38, down 5.9% in 24 hours, with RSI at 67.02 and MACD still bullish. Derivatives data shows funding at 0.0055% and open interest near $977.3 million, but the long/short account ratio of 2.68 (72.9% long) signals crowded positioning. With the Fear & Greed Index at 65 (Greed), a squeeze risk is building. The bullish case holds while $1.2953 defends; a daily close below that level would invalidate the setup and open $1.2294, with $1.0635 as the deeper target, though it would not immediately signal a bear market. A reclaim of $1.4087 would put $1.5664 in focus.
