XRP Price: $1.39 Billion Has Flowed Into XRP ETFs — Here’s What the Chart Say

TLDR

• XRP is trading around $1.36, under pressure below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages
• Spot XRP ETFs recorded $12.57 million in inflows this week, with cumulative inflows reaching $1.39 billion
• XRP reserves on Binance dropped from 2.78 billion to 2.74 billion tokens, a sign holders are moving coins off exchanges
• The XRP Ledger added 4,300 new wallets in 24 hours on May 20 — the fourth-largest growth spike of 2026
• XRP remains 62% below its $3.66 multi-year high reached in July 2025, with key resistance between $1.40 and $1.55

XRP is trading at around $1.36 after failing to break above $1.39 on Thursday. The token is holding just above a key short-term support level at $1.35, but the broader trend remains under pressure.

The price sits below three important moving averages. The 50-day EMA is at $1.41, the 100-day EMA at $1.48, and the 200-day EMA at $1.70. All three sit above the current price, which analysts say limits the room for any meaningful rally.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sitting near 42 on the daily chart. That shows some downward pressure but not yet oversold territory. The MACD histogram is also below zero, pointing to short-term seller control.

If XRP breaks below $1.35, the next support level is around $1.30, where buyers may look to re-enter.

ETF Inflows Stay Positive for Third Week Running

Despite the weak price action, institutional money keeps flowing into XRP investment products. Spot XRP ETFs saw $12.57 million in total inflows this week through Thursday, making it the third straight week of positive flows.

Cumulative inflows now stand at $1.39 billion, with assets under management at $1.15 billion. Thursday alone saw $8.8 million in net inflows, marking the 12th consecutive day of positive ETF flows.

US-based spot XRP ETFs now hold about 1.34% of XRP’s total supply. Roughly $107.3 million worth of XRP ETF flows came in during May alone.

At the same time, XRP reserves on Binance fell from a May high of 2.78 billion to 2.74 billion tokens. A drop in exchange reserves is often read as a bullish signal, as it suggests holders are moving tokens off exchanges rather than preparing to sell.

Network Activity Picks Up With Wallet Surge

On-chain data showed a spike in XRP Ledger activity on May 20. The network added 4,300 new wallets in a single 24-hour period — the fourth-largest growth spike of 2026, according to Santiment. Daily active addresses also jumped from 32,000 to 43,520 over the same period.

Analyst Amonyx flagged the move, asking whether it was a reversal signal. Santiment noted that “network growth is among the top leading signals to identify reversals.” Analyst Niroshan682 added that new wallet creation is often an early sign of fresh network participation, especially when it comes alongside rising ETF inflows and institutional interest.

Still, overhead resistance has capped any price recovery. Investors hold approximately 3.75 billion XRP at an average cost of $1.37–$1.45, according to Glassnode cost-basis data. That cluster could see selling pressure as prices approach break-even.

A second resistance zone sits at $1.68–$1.70, where around 3.8 billion XRP was purchased. XRP is currently 62% below its July 2025 high of $3.66.

Bulls need a push above the $1.40–$1.55 range to confirm any breakout from the current consolidation pattern. Thursday’s ETF inflow of $8.8 million was the most recent positive data point in an otherwise flat week for price.
