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.

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.
