XRP slides toward $1 despite ETF inflows

TLDR

XRP (XRP) is hovering just above $1 even as spot XRP ETFs continue to attract steady net inflows from institutional investors.

1. XRP has slipped back toward the $1 support zone after a sharp multi?month drawdown and recent tests of a 19?month low.
2. Spot XRP ETFs have logged more than $1.31.4 billion in cumulative inflows and recent weekly records, but these flows are small versus the overall XRP market.
3. Price is being driven more by broad crypto selling, leverage washouts, and macro headwinds than ETF demand, so the $1 level and wider ETF flows are key to watch next.

Deep Dive

1. Price Action Near $1

Recent reports show XRP sliding to a 19?month low around $1.02, a level last seen in late 2024, before stabilizing slightly above $1 again. One analysis notes XRP approaching the $1 level at about $1.04, down 8 percent over seven days and more than 20 percent over 30 days, with a broken $1.05 support and next supports at $0.88 and $0.75 if $1 fails as a floor. XRP is described as the weakest weekly performer among major coins in late June despite a brief intraday rebound above $1.05, reinforcing that the trend remains down.

From live market data, XRP trades around $1.06 with declines of roughly 6.8 percent over 7 days, 17.8 percent over 30 days, and 22.8 percent over 60 days, consistent with this picture of a sustained retrace toward the $1 zone.

2. ETF Inflows And Their True Scale

While price is under pressure, ETF demand has been notably resilient. US spot XRP ETFs have seen seven consecutive weeks of net inflows totaling about $1.35 billion, with XRP trading at $1.10, down 3 percent today, despite those inflows. Another dataset cites cumulative XRP ETF net inflows around $1.441.45 billion and an eight?week inflow streak, including a recent weekly record of about $22.99 million, described as Junes highest weekly ETF inflow.

Global spot XRP ETF assets are reported above $700 million, with one providers flagship fund alone around $250 million in capitalization. Yet XRPs market cap sits near $6566 billion, so ETF holdings are only about 12 percent of the total. Analysts also highlight that XRP ETF assets are roughly 4050 times smaller than Bitcoin ETF assets, and in one week XRPs inflow of about $67.6 million was only about 2 percent of Bitcoins $1.44 billion ETF outflow.

3. Why Inflows Havent Stopped The Slide

Several pieces point out that a trickle of ETF inflows, even a sustained one, is simply not large enough to overcome the selling when broader forces are bearish. XRP has been hit by:

1. Heavy derivatives liquidations, with around $42 million in XRP positions wiped out in one 24?hour window.
2. Technical weakness, including a descending channel and a death cross between key moving averages, which encourages trend?following selling.
3. Macro and altcoin sentiment headwinds, as Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows turn negative and risk appetite across crypto eases, even while some institutions rotate a portion of exposure into XRP.

At the same time, regulatory and structural positives (EU MiCA licensing progress, US commodity classification, expanding payment and DeFi plans on XRP Ledger) help explain why institutions keep adding via ETFs, but these are framed as long?term drivers rather than immediate price catalysts.

Conclusion

XRPs slide toward $1 shows that steady ETF inflows alone are not yet powerful enough to offset spot selling, leverage clearing, and a weak altcoin tape. The inflows do signal real institutional interest and improving structural positioning for XRP, but for price, the critical questions are whether the $1 support zone holds and whether macro conditions and broader crypto ETF flows stabilize enough for that institutional bid to matter more than the current selling pressure.
