XRP Price Under Pressure: Spot Selling Overwhelms ETF Demand

XRPUSD: near-term bearish, with a potential medium-term offset. The sharp fall despite ETF inflows suggests those purchases were too small to absorb selling pressure at the time. The article puts ETF inflows at $18.04 million—about 0.44% of reported 24-hour spot turnover—and says XRP also weakened against Bitcoin, pointing to token-specific underperformance rather than only dollar weakness.

That comparison needs caution: ETF flows cover a U.S. session, while spot volume is a rolling 24-hour figure, and trading volume measures turnover—not net selling. The article also cites $4.1 billion in spot volume, while the supplied local text gives $4.576 billion, so the precise ratio is uncertain. Still, the price’s failure to hold the $1.60 area and its slide to the reported $1.46 low make the immediate signal adverse.

Persistent ETF inflows could provide support over time, but one session does not establish that demand is strong enough to change the trend. Traders should watch whether flows continue, whether spot selling eases, and whether XRP stabilizes relative to BTC; renewed weakness despite ongoing inflows would suggest distribution remains dominant.
