XRP price holds above $1 as ETF demand outpaces Bitcoin, ETH for 5 weeks
XRP exchange-traded products continued to attract investor capital for a fifth consecutive week, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum funds recorded net outflows.
- XRP ETF products recorded positive inflows while Bitcoin and Ethereum funds posted outflows recently.
- Analysts see a short-term XRP rebound signal, though whale activity remains weak overall.
- XRP trades near $1.15 as investors monitor ETF demand and key support levels.
The latest fund flow data showed XRP-linked products brought in about $10.68 million during the week ended June 12. The inflows came as broader crypto markets remained under pressure from risk-off sentiment and continued uncertainty around global macroeconomic conditions.
XRP fund inflows remain positive
According to the latest ETF flow figures, XRP products added more than $10 million during the past week. The result extended a streak that has seen XRP outperform larger digital assets in terms of weekly net fund flows.

The inflow follows several weeks of positive demand. XRP products recorded approximately $60.5 million in inflows during the week of May 15, followed by $22.04 million during the week of May 22 and $15.2 million during the week of May 29. The week ending June 5 added another $2.62 million.
The cumulative total net inflow has now reached roughly $1.44 billion. At the same time, total net assets stand near $978.86 million, while weekly trading activity exceeded $61 million.
Bitcoin and Ethereum funds face outflows
The positive XRP performance came while competing crypto investment products experienced withdrawals.
Bitcoin products posted approximately $319 million in weekly outflows. Ethereum investment products also ended the week in negative territory with about $15 million in net withdrawals. Solana funds recorded roughly $4 million in outflows.
As previously reported by crypto.news, Bitcoin ETFs have faced persistent selling pressure in recent weeks as investors reduced exposure to risk assets. Recent coverage also noted that geopolitical uncertainty and weaker market sentiment have weighed on digital asset funds.
The contrast between XRP inflows and Bitcoin outflows has renewed attention on institutional demand for Ripple’s token despite broader market weakness.
XRP technical signals show mixed picture
XRP traded at about $1.15 on June 14, according to crypto.news price data. The token gained roughly 1.65% during the past week but remained down more than 22% over the previous month.
In a June 11 X thread, crypto analyst Ali Martinez said the TD Sequential indicator had printed a buy signal for XRP on the three-day timeframe.He said the setup has historically signaled a short-term rebound lasting between one and four candlesticks.
“A new buy signal has emerged on XRP,” Martinez wrote. However, he added that the signal may only support a temporary recovery rather than a broader trend reversal.
The analyst noted that whale activity on the XRP network has fallen sharply. According to data cited by Martinez, transactions worth more than $1 million declined by 57.3% over recent weeks.
Analysts focus on whale activity and long-term cycles
Martinez also said active whales have distributed roughly 60 million XRP during the past week. The selling activity suggests large holders have not yet started accumulating aggressively despite recent price weakness.
He identified the $0.90 area as a potential long-term accumulation zone. According to Martinez, the level aligns with a multi-year rising trendline that has acted as support for several years.
Another analyst, ChartNerd, focused on XRP’s historical market cycles. He noted that previous cycle highs have often been separated by three to five years. “Data does not lie,” he wrote while cautioning investors against relying on unrealistic price targets.
XRP recently received another boost to its institutional adoption narrative after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved a rule change allowing a new actively managed crypto ETF to include XRP alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
For now, XRP sits between improving institutional demand and cautious on-chain signals. ETF inflows continue to support the asset’s adoption story, while whale activity and broader market conditions remain important indicators for the next phase of price action.

Once the Federal Reserve starts the rate hike cycle, is "three consecutive hikes" a reasonable expectation?
BMO expects consecutive rate hikes in October and December, with a total of three increases potentially wiping out all rate cut gains for 2025. Vanguard believes "three consecutive hikes" is a reasonable starting point, but the actual number could be as high as six. There are historical exceptions: in 1997, the Federal Reserve raised rates only once and took no further action for the following 18 months. Meanwhile, trillion-dollar debt financing by AI giants, private credit exposure in the insurance industry, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield approaching 5% are the most dangerous pressure points in this rate hike cycle.
Goldman Sachs Also Changes Its Tune: The Fed Will Raise Interest Rates Next Week!
Goldman Sachs has shifted from predicting a rate hold to betting on a 25 basis point hike next week, stating that this change is not due to particularly bad inflation data—the August CPI was not perfect, but it wasn’t alarming either. The real key is that hawkish comments from Waller have already shaped market expectations: "If the inflation data isn’t perfect, there will be a rate hike." If the Federal Reserve backs down now, its credibility will suffer a serious blow and long-term interest rates could react sharply and immediately.
