XRP ETF, 3 consecutive weeks of fund inflow..."Institutions swept it all up"

XRP is attracting market attention by recording three consecutive weeks of fund inflows, driven by strong buying from institutional investors. The combination of fund inflows through Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and a decrease in exchange supply raises the possibility of a price increase due to a supply shortage.

According to U.Today on April 25 (local time), the XRP spot ETF market continued its positive trend that began in the second week of April, achieving net inflows for three consecutive weeks. 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 reduced compared to 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 into external wallets in the last 24 hours. This is the sixth largest daily outflow volume since 2026. With available supply on exchanges remaining at multi-year lows, such a large outflow could lead to a supply squeeze that stimulates price increases. As institutional investors expand their exposure through regulation-compliant products like ETFs, the price floor support is also strengthening.

Participation from traditional financial institutions is also increasing. Global financial companies such as SBI Holdings, Zand Bank, and Archax are increasing 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 recent changes in asset liquidity indicate a fundamental shift in market structure.

XRP price is currently trading around $1.42, attempting to break through the psychological resistance level of $1.45. Technical analysis suggests that if this resistance level is surpassed, 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 to $1.89 range if the current accumulation speed is maintained. The inflow of long-term capital primarily from institutional investors, rather than individual investors, is a distinguishing feature compared to past bull markets.

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