XRP price has fallen more than 60% from its all-time highs—can ETF inflows and Trump’s support help drive a rebound?

Gate News message: even though Ripple’s long-running legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) came to an end in 2025 and the company has been actively expanding its business, the XRP price is still down by about 64% from its all-time high, drawing market attention. Investors and analysts are examining why the price has yet to rebound, as well as potential future catalysts.

ETF inflows provide some support for XRP. As of this March, seven XRP exchange-traded funds have about $1.1 billion in assets under management, with the Bitwise products accounting for most of the trading volume. Matt Hougan, Bitwise’s chief investment officer, said that even with a sluggish market, the fund has continued to see net inflows. Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, said that although the scale is far smaller than Bitcoin ETFs, it is still a positive signal for XRP.

However, some analysts remain cautious. Ric Edelman, founder of Edelman Financial Engines, believes that XRP’s reputation was damaged by the SEC lawsuit in 2020, resulting in limited inflow size, making it difficult to meaningfully change the price trajectory. He noted that investors are more betting on XRP recapturing past glory rather than on fundamental improvement.

In addition, U.S. President Donald Trump’s support has provided policy tailwinds for XRP. In March 2025, the government’s digital asset reserve plan announced by Trump included XRP and pushed for related legislation to pass. Ripple executives have repeatedly participated in White House events, coordinating with the banking industry on crypto policy.

Market challenges still remain. Bitcoin is down nearly 50% from its all-time high, and the high-interest-rate environment and geopolitical tensions weigh on risk assets. While ETF inflows, policy support, and Ripple’s business growth may provide potential upside momentum for XRP, the price in the near term could still be constrained by macro factors.

Ripple continues to expand its business, with its valuation reaching about $50 billion. It has launched a stablecoin and multiple acquisition initiatives. While Ripple and XRP are separate entities, the company’s growth dynamics may ultimately show up in the XRP price. Investors need to watch Bitcoin’s trajectory, ETF flows, and the development of the Ripple ecosystem to judge XRP’s potential room for a future rebound.
