U.S. spot XRP ETFs eyed a solid $46.1 million in net inflows on Monday, sparking a 12% upswing for the OG altcoin.
XRP’s latest leg higher wasn’t just a late-session squeeze. The token jumped about 12% in a single day, briefly trading around the mid-$2.30s and pushing toward the $2.40 area, as US-listed spot XRP ETFs posted their biggest net inflow since launch.
Two separate reports tied the move to ETF demand that accelerated at the start of the week. One pegged Monday’s net inflows at a record $46.1 million, while another cited a broader surge in inflows that helped propel the breakout. Both pointed to the same immediate catalyst: persistent, one-way buying through the ETF wrapper as XRP climbed through a resistance band that had stalled rallies for weeks.
ETF Flows Meet Tightening Exchange Supply
The inflow print matters because it extends a streak: the spot products have notched continued net creations since debut, according to the coverage, and cumulative inflows are now above $1 billion in under two months. Several funds also recorded their highest daily trading volumes, reinforcing the idea that the bid wasn’t isolated to crypto-native venues.
At the same time, on-chain indicators highlighted in the reporting show XRP balances on centralized exchanges falling to multi-year lows. For traders, that combination — new incremental demand, fewer tokens sitting on exchanges — can turn routine buying into a sharper price move, especially when spot volumes are rising alongside it.
Regulatory Tone Returns To The Tape For XRP
The rally has unfolded alongside a broader shift in risk appetite, with the reporting noting improved sentiment around the US regulatory outlook and expectations for market-structure legislation discussions to pick up in January. XRP, long associated with regulatory overhang, has been treated as a direct beneficiary of any perceived thaw.
Technically, one report framed the breakout as a “confirmed bullish setup,” arguing that if momentum holds, an additional move on the order of the mid-teens percentage-wise is plausible. Another flagged the nearby $2.28-$2.32 zone as the key area to hold if bulls want to avoid a quick retracement back into the prior range.
For crypto investors, the practical read-through is that XRP is increasingly trading like a flows-driven asset again: ETF creations and exchange supply are becoming as important as chart levels. That can be constructive in a rising tape — but it also means reversals, if flows turn, could arrive just as quickly.
