X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull), a prominent crypto commentator on X, recently shared an intriguing observation about XRP’s market behavior. He noted that while the broader market remains weak and XRP price action stays flat, ETFs continue to absorb large volumes of the token.
His post stressed that this activity does not resemble retail speculation. He wrote that ETFs absorbed over $1 billion worth of XRP in roughly five weeks, despite limited price movement. He added, “That’s not retail exit liquidity. That’s institutional entry.”
Listen $XRP Holders 🚨🚨🚨The market is down. $XRP price is flat‼️
And yet, ETFs just absorbed over a billion dollars worth of it in 5 weeks.
That’s not retail exit liquidity. That’s institutional entry.

Analyzing the ETF Chart
The chart shared alongside the post supports his argument. Data from SoSoValue shows steady and repeated net inflows into XRP spot ETFs from mid-November through late December. Several single-day inflows exceed $100 million. One session shows inflows of nearly $250 million. Over the same period, total net assets climbed to over $1.25 billion.
This accumulation occurred while XRP’s price hovered near $1.9. Despite over a month of net inflows, XRP has not experienced a sustained breakout. Strong inflows emerge during rising prices, but XRP has remained within the same range.
The contrast between flat price action and rising ETF assets suggests persistent buying pressure that absorbs available liquidity without pushing the price higher. That dynamic often occurs when larger participants build exposure over time rather than rush into the market.
XRP: Why This Accumulation is Important
Institutional buyers rarely chase sudden price spikes. They prefer stable conditions. Sideways markets allow size without disruption. X Finance Bull emphasized this behavior when he wrote, “This kind of inflow during sideways price action is the footprint of capital with a plan.”

ETF structures reinforce this view. These investors do not react emotionally to daily price swings. When inflows continue despite weak sentiment, it shows institutional conviction. This accumulation also reduces the circulating supply. Each unit absorbed by an ETF tightens liquidity on exchanges. Over time, that constraint can amplify price moves once demand expands beyond ETF accumulation.
What’s Next for XRP?
Sustained ETF inflows create a base by establishing consistent demand. As total net assets rise, so does the sensitivity of the asset to incremental buying. When new demand enters, the price tends to react quickly because available supply has already thinned.
X Finance Bull summarized this dynamic clearly. He stated that by the time XRP’s price starts showing positive signs, “the train is already full.” Institutions are already positioning themselves, and investors who join them early could reap the biggest rewards.
