Spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reached a new all-time high in cumulative net inflows as investor demand returned in April, according to SoSoValue data. The renewed buying coincided with a period of easing geopolitical tension linked to the US-Iran ceasefire.
SoSoValue data showed total net inflows rising to $1.29 billion by the end of the latest business week. During the week ending April 24, the funds added $15.74 million.
April inflows reached $81.63 million, described as the strongest month for XRP ETFs since December. The products launched in mid-November and quickly crossed the $1 billion cumulative inflows mark, while avoiding net outflow days for nearly two months.
That momentum shifted in March, when market uncertainty pushed some investors away from risk assets. March became the first negative month for XRP ETFs, with more than $31 million leaving the products.
Despite the ETF inflow rebound, XRP has not fully mirrored the renewed demand. The token faced rejection near $1.46 after failing to hold a move toward $1.60.
At the time of the report, XRP traded near $1.43. The price showed little change from the previous week, even as ETF inflows and broader investor interest improved.
Market analyst Crypto Tony characterized XRP’s recent price action as “boring few months,” noting the token has traded between $1.20 and $1.60 for more than 60 days.
In addition to ETF flows, XRP saw significant exchange outflows. Nearly 35 million XRP left exchanges within 24 hours, marking the sixth-largest outflow this year.
Some analysts interpret large exchange withdrawals as a potential sign of reduced sell pressure. The report cited that similar spikes in February and March preceded XRP rallies ranging from 20% to 50%.
Still, XRP needs a clear breakout above its recent range to confirm stronger momentum. Analyst Ali Martinez offered a more bullish long-term view, but said XRP could first drop toward $0.90 before any larger move.
