Source: BeInCrypto Markets Lower prices have also cut XRP ETF net assets from $1.77 billion on September 25 to $1.51 billion. BeInCrypto previously reported that ETF buyers kept adding even while sitting on losses. Large holders, however, have been sending more XRP to exchanges. Analyst Arab Chain reported that 30-day XRP whale inflows to Binance reached 1.669 billion XRP. That is a seven-month high. The figure stood at roughly 1.65 billion XRP in September. More coins on Binance can add to the supply available for sale. However, the analyst cautioned that the transfers may reflect wallet reshuffling or other Binance services instead of selling. XRP is being pulled between two forces. ETF buyers have kept adding for 13 weeks, while whale deposits to Binance sit at a seven-month high. So far, the token has followed the broader market instead. Crypto prices slid after a hotter-than-expected US Consumer Price Index (CPI) print on October 14. ETF inflows do give some confidence, but they have yet to translate into price gains. Until they do, XRP’s next move will likely depend on how the wider market digests the inflation data
