XRP Spot ETFs Draw $22.99 Million in Weekly Net Inflows

XRP News

U.S.-listed XRP spot exchange-traded funds drew $22.99 million in net inflows between June 22 and June 26, even as the two largest crypto ETF complexes bled capital. The figure, confirmed by fund-flow data, stood out because it moved in the opposite direction of a broad institutional retreat from Bitcoin and Ethereum products. While the dollar amount was modest, the directional signal carried weight: some allocators kept adding XRP exposure through regulated wrappers while redeeming their core holdings. The week framed XRP, currently the third-largest altcoin by market value, as a test case for whether institutions are now selecting specific crypto risks rather than buying broad market beta.

The XRP inflow was led by a small cluster of products rather than a broad sweep. Bitwise's XRP fund absorbed roughly $16.97 million of the week's total, while Franklin Templeton's XRPZ vehicle added about $3.97 million, according to fund-flow data. Together the two accounted for the bulk of the $22.99 million net figure. The concentration matters: demand pooled in a handful of issuers, pointing to targeted positioning rather than indiscriminate buying. For an asset that spent years awaiting clear regulatory footing, this steady drip of regulated-fund demand offers a structural counterweight to the spot-market selling that has dominated recent sessions and tested holder conviction.

The backdrop was a sharp institutional drawdown elsewhere. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs shed about $1.79 billion over the same five-day window, while U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs lost roughly $273.5 million, fund-flow data shows. Combined, the two complexes surrendered close to $2.06 billion — dwarfing every altcoin inflow recorded that week. Solana wrappers ended slightly negative at about $1.9 million, while HYPE products added some $111.4 million, a stronger altcoin signal than XRP's. The split points to fragmentation: broad crypto beta was sold aggressively while pockets of selective demand persisted, a pattern that often emerges when appetite for Bitcoin, the market's anchor asset, weakens.

On the charts, XRP remains under sustained selling pressure. The token traded near $1.05 after losing a series of higher lows, keeping it confined inside a long-term descending channel and below both its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which now slope lower as dynamic resistance. The most important demand sits in the $1.00 to $1.10 band, where buyers are attempting to stabilize price. A relief bounce is possible if that zone holds, but the broader structure stays firmly in bear market territory. Any recovery would first confront the 100-day average near $1.30, which aligns with the upper edge of the channel — a level that has repeatedly capped rallies.

Against Bitcoin, XRP continues to underperform. The XRP/BTC pair trades around 1,750 satoshis, hovering just above a horizontal support that has blocked deeper declines since May. Although that floor has held repeatedly, none of the rebounds produced a decisive breakout, underscoring persistent weakness and a lack of sustained momentum. Overhead, the first resistance sits near 1,850 satoshis, converging with a declining 100-day moving average, followed by a stronger band around 2,000 satoshis. As long as the pair stays beneath these clusters, XRP's relative weakness versus the market's anchor asset is likely to continue, keeping the asset far from any retest of its prior all-time high.

The market now sits at a clear decision point. For the dollar pair, a confirmed loss of the $1.00 to $1.10 support would expose the lower boundary of the descending channel near the $0.80 region, making that zone pivotal for the medium-term outlook. On the Bitcoin pair, a breakdown below the 1,700-satoshi support would likely invalidate the current range and signal further capitulation. Until buyers reclaim the overhead moving averages on both pairs, the path of least resistance points lower. The coming sessions should clarify whether the multi-week downtrend extends or whether accumulated demand can finally engineer a durable reversal.

COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine rates the $1.0716 resistance at 70/100, a strong barrier built on the confluence of a Fibonacci 0.114 retracement and the prior daily close, while the $1.0037 support scores 75/100, anchored by the lower Bollinger Band and a Donchian channel floor. With spot at $1.0423, an RSI of 32.86 and a bearish MACD, momentum favors sellers — yet derivatives tell a contrarian story: perpetual funding has flipped negative at -0.0094% and the long/short account ratio sits at 3.06, with 75.4% of accounts positioned long against an Extreme Fear reading of 15/100. A reclaim of $1.0716 would open the $1.0978 zone; a daily close beneath $1.0037 invalidates the bullish thesis and exposes $0.86.
