XRP ETF, Fund Inflows for 3 Consecutive Weeks..."Institutions Swept It All Up"

XRP has attracted market attention by recording fund inflows for three consecutive weeks, driven by strong buying pressure from institutional investors. The combination of fund inflows through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and a decrease in exchange supply raises the possibility of price increases due to supply shortages.

According to U.Today on April 25 (local time), the XRP spot ETF market achieved net inflows for three consecutive weeks, continuing the positive trend that began in the second week of April. Data from SoSoValue, a virtual asset ETF tracking service, shows that approximately $15.74 million in new funds flowed into XRP ETFs over the past week. Although the inflow volume was slightly lower than the previous week, the cumulative net inflow over three weeks reached approximately $82.88 million. The total assets under management (AUM) by the seven XRP spot ETFs currently listed in the U.S. are estimated to be between $1.1 billion and $1.25 billion.

The continuous injection of funds by institutions is rapidly absorbing the market supply. On-chain analytics firm Santiment reported that approximately 35 million XRP flowed out of exchanges to external wallets in the past 24 hours. This marks the sixth largest daily outflow since 2026. With the available supply on exchanges remaining at multi-year lows, such large-scale outflows could trigger a supply squeeze, stimulating price increases. As institutional investors expand their exposure through regulatory-compliant products like ETFs, the price support level is also becoming more robust.

Participation from the traditional financial sector is also increasing. Global financial firms such as SBI Holdings, Zand Bank, and Archax are expanding their use of payment and tokenization services within the XRP Ledger ecosystem. Guggenheim Treasury Services is also supporting institutional demand through active partnerships. Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, assessed that the recent changes in asset liquidity signify a fundamental shift in market structure.

XRP price is currently trading around $1.42 and attempting to break through the psychological resistance level of $1.45. Technical analysis suggests that if this resistance is overcome, a rally could continue up to $1.55, where the 100-day moving average convergence-divergence index is located. Some experts have presented a short-term surge scenario to the $1.87-$1.89 range if the current accumulation pace is maintained. The influx of long-term capital, primarily from institutional investors rather than individual investors, differentiates this from past bull markets.

The restoration of confidence among institutional investors is driving XRP to re-establish itself as a core asset in the virtual asset market. Increased ETF liquidity and scarcer exchange supply are two powerful pillars driving price appreciation. As practical use cases for XRP as a global financial infrastructure grow, the re-evaluation of the asset's intrinsic value is also expected to accelerate. Market participants anticipate that the trend of continuous fund inflows for three consecutive weeks will be a key indicator determining the overall market landscape in May.
