XRP ETFs Defy Crypto Bloodbath, Amid Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds Bleeding

XRP ETFs Defy Crypto Bloodbath

US spot XRP ETFs recorded about $740,000 in net inflows even as the coin lost 6% of its price over 24 hours. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid funds lost nearly $400 million combined on October 14.

Market Context

Crypto prices slid after a hotter-than-expected US Consumer Price Index reading on October 14. A higher inflation print can dampen expectations for monetary easing, putting pressure on risk assets; the broad market move helps explain why positive XRP ETF demand did not translate into a same-day price gain.

XRP ETF Demand

XRP ETFs have recorded 13 consecutive weeks of net inflows, with the last losing week ending July 10 at about $7.2 million in outflows. Cumulative net inflows reached a record $1.80 billion, evidence that demand for the funds has persisted through a weak stretch for the underlying token.

Whale Deposits

XRP price remained about 64% below its all-time high of $3.65, set on July 17, 2025. At the same time, its 30-day XRP whale deposits to Binance reached 1.669 billion XRP, a seven-month high, compared with roughly 1.65 billion XRP in September.

Supply and Demand Balance

Higher exchange inflows can increase the amount of XRP available for sale, adding a potential supply overhang while ETF buyers continue accumulating. But deposits are not proof of selling; the transfers may reflect wallet reshuffling or use of other Binance services, and the reported metric alone does not confirm that holders sold their coins.
