XRP Hits Rare $0 ETF Inflow Milestone Just as Price Breaks $1.45 Barrier
TL;DR
XRP's price has surpassed $1.45, but inflows into XRP ETFs in the U.S. have dropped to $0. This unusual situation contrasts with the typical correlation between rising prices and increased liquidity inflows.
Key points
- XRP's price is above $1.45
- XRP ETF inflows in the U.S. dropped to $0
- Total assets in XRP funds exceed $1.07 billion
Despite the fact that XRP's price is showing confident growth, a rare statistical paradox has been recorded in the cryptocurrency ETF market. Having secured its position above the $1.44 level, inflows into spot XRP ETFs in the United States suddenly dropped to $0, according to SoSoValue.
While major altcoins remain stalled, market leaders are showing extended buying streaks. Ethereum (ETH) recorded +$43.36 million, marking its ninth consecutive day of inflows, while Bitcoin (BTC) added +$11.84 million, its sixth straight day of growth. XRP, however, stands at $0, while its market price increased by 2.24% since yesterday's open.
Decoding the rare $0 inflow day amid a bullish XRP price breakout
Such calm in funds alongside a rising price is a rare occurrence. Typically, an upward trend is accompanied by liquidity inflows, but in XRP's case, the market is facing a different scenario.
After more than $55.39 million was injected into XRP ETFs last week, institutional players may have paused to assess the sustainability of the price above the $1.40 level. Total assets under management in XRP funds have already exceeded $1.07 billion.

Yesterday's zero inflow suggests that large players are neither taking profits nor rushing to enter at market levels, waiting instead for a breakout above the key resistance at $1.55.
Despite the recent pause in ETF activity, the news backdrop around XRP remains strongly positive. The final recognition of the asset as a "digital commodity" by regulators SEC and CFTC in March 2026 has created a safe environment for capital.
The current price increase without ETF participation may indicate that the rally is being driven by organic demand and XRP usage in Ripple's cross-border operations, rather than purely speculative fund-driven capital.
