Franklin Templeton Leads Inflows. Data from SoSoValue shows US spot XRP ETFs now hold $1.08 billion in assets. That's 1.

Price Stuck Below Resistance. XRP trades around $1.43 right now. It's been stuck there for a bit.

What Comes Next. The market's in a weird spot. Institutional money is piling into ETFs.

Tuttle Capital just filed for an XRP Income Blast ETF. Not many people noticed.

That's because traders spent April watching Bitcoin and Ethereum. But behind the scenes, US spot XRP ETFs quietly pulled in over $75 million during the month.

The pattern looks different from retail trading. Retail money jumps in and out. Institutional money sits. And these inflows sat.

Outflows from exchanges tell a similar story. The XRP Ledger saw 34.94 million XRP leave exchanges in 24 hours recently. Sixth-largest daily outflow of 2026.

Large holders moved 94% of recent Binance outflows. These aren't small fish. But whale transfers back to Binance ticked up too—around 3,000 transactions on April 23 and 24.

XRP trades around $1.43 right now. It's been stuck there for a bit. The token sits just above the $1.40 support zone, kind of hovering. Resistance above won't budge yet.

So you've got $75 million flowing into ETFs. You've got 35 million XRP leaving exchanges. And the price? Flat.

That disconnect matters. When supply leaves exchanges and institutional money arrives, something usually breaks. Either the price moves up, or the inflows dry up.

The whale activity adds another layer. Large holders don't move billions of tokens for fun. They're setting up for something. Maybe they think the price will break higher.

Franklin Templeton's XRPZ ETF keeps seeing the biggest inflows. The fund launched earlier this year alongside several other XRP products.

The $661,000 in outflows since April 9 is basically nothing. For context, Bitcoin ETFs can see tens of millions in outflows on a bad day. XRP ETFs barely flinched.
