US-traded Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw significant outflows (-$2.3B and -$200M, respectively) through June 18, while Hyperliquid (HYPE) and XRP ETFs attracted $50M and $24M in net inflows, indicating distinct buyer bases amid broader crypto ETF contraction.
XRP faces a market contradiction as positive flow data (ETF inflows, exchange outflows) fails to translate into price control, with sellers dominating near 15-week lows. Thin liquidity and derivatives activity on centralized exchanges are cited as key factors.
XRP's price has dropped 12% in five days, confirming a bearish pennant pattern that suggests a potential 52.5% fall to $0.65. Despite this, institutional demand via XRP ETFs shows steady inflows, totaling $95.5 million in nine days.
XRP/BTC has declined about 5% this week, confirming a bearish descending triangle pattern on the weekly chart that points to a potential 40% drop toward 0.000011 BTC. However, US spot XRP ETFs recorded nine consecutive days of net inflows totaling $73.78 million, pushing cumulative inflows to nearly $1.28 billion, signaling strong institutional demand despite the price weakness.
