Between December 22 and 26, XRP exchange-traded funds recorded $64 million in net inflows, standing in contrast to notable outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum products. Data from SoSoValue confirmed that spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $782 million during the same period, with BlackRock’s IBIT alone accounting for $435 million in withdrawals. Ethereum-linked products also experienced outflows.
Cumulative inflows into spot XRP ETFs have reached $1.14 billion, while total net assets now range between $1.24 billion and $1.25 billion. Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF led the weekly inflow chart with $28.6 million, followed by Bitwise with $19 million. Other issuers reported smaller, yet consistent, capital additions. XRP funds have shown steadier inflow behavior compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum products, which have fluctuated significantly.
Price Action Stalls Near Key Support Levels
Despite rising ETF demand, XRP’s market price remains subdued. Over the past week, the token has traded close to $1.87, staying within the $1.85 to $1.90 band. The weekly chart structure shows XRP respecting the $1.80 to $1.85 support zone, which has absorbed multiple downside tests without breaking decisively.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the weekly chart remains below neutral but has begun to stabilize. Meanwhile, the MACD shows compression, signaling declining downside momentum. XRP continues to trade within a bearish descending channel. A clean break above the channel could set the stage for a move toward the $3.00 to $3.60 region. On the downside, a drop below $1.80 may open the door to retracements near the $1.30 to $1.50 levels.
Exchange Supply Continues to Shrink
On-chain data indicates that XRP balances held on centralized exchanges have dropped to multi-year lows. This reduction in supply could increase the asset’s sensitivity to consistent demand, although it does not assure a price increase.
Standard Chartered recently projected XRP could rise to $8 by the end of 2026, factoring in regulatory clarity and persistent ETF inflows. A more conservative scenario forecasts a climb to $3 if current demand and supply trends continue without major market disruptions.
