Despite a cautious atmosphere in the crypto market, one asset captures the attention of institutional investors: XRP. Long weighed down by its regulatory troubles, the altcoin has triggered a spectacular resurgence of interest since the launch of several spot ETFs in the United States. Capital inflows continue at an unprecedented pace, revealing a possible turning point in the token’s trajectory. Should this be seen as the signal of a new bullish cycle, driven both by traditional finance and encouraging technical signals?
In brief
- •XRP records over $756 million in inflows via its spot ETFs in just 11 days.
- •Institutional investors are positioning massively, with flows exceeding those of Solana ETFs.
- •Canary’s XRPC fund dominates the market, while Vanguard is preparing to open access to XRP ETFs for 50 million clients.
- •XRP seems to benefit from a rare conjunction of technical signals and institutional inflows, suggesting a potential bullish cycle.
XRP Attracts Institutional Investors
November 13, 2025, marked the official launch of XRP ETFs in the United States. Since that date, momentum has not slowed.
Indeed, these products have recorded eleven consecutive days of net inflows, reaching a cumulative total of $756 million on December 2. Just on last Monday alone, $89.65 million was injected.
These figures reflect the persistent interest from professional investors, who now appear to consider XRP as a strategic allocation. Canary’s XRPC fund, listed on Nasdaq, stands out particularly with $350 million in net inflows, followed by Bitwise at $170 million.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, highlights that “the recent XRP surge is mainly due to new ETFs launched in the United States, such as the one from Canary Capital.”
Beyond the amounts, several elements confirm the scale of the movement:
- •330 million XRP tokens were absorbed in just 11 days, a pace that exceeds that seen for Solana ETFs;
- •Assets under management (AUM) of XRP ETFs reach $723 million, illustrating the rising prominence of these investment products;
- •The dynamic of XRP contrasts with a slowdown in flows to Bitcoin ETFs, highlighting targeted interest from institutional investors;
- •Vanguard, one of the world’s largest asset managers ($11 trillion under management), is preparing to open access to crypto ETFs to its 50 million clients, including those for XRP, starting Tuesday, December 9.
These converging signals indicate that XRP ETFs are not a one-off phenomenon but part of a broader institutional adoption strategy.
Technical Signals Support the Recovery
Beyond institutional dynamics, some technical analysts closely monitor the evolution of the XRP price, where several signals converge towards a possible bullish reversal.
Among them, ChartNerd, an analyst followed on X (formerly Twitter), identifies a major bullish divergence between the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and the crypto’s price on the daily time frame. He explains: “XRP shows a strong bullish divergence on the daily chart, which has strengthened over a slow continuous decline for more than 55 days, initiated after the liquidation event.” He adds that “the longer this setup lasts, the stronger the signal becomes.”
Moreover, the TD Sequential, a trend-following tool, has generated a buy signal on the weekly XRP chart. Historically, this signal has preceded rebounds between 37% and 174% on the XRP/USD pair. If history repeats itself, the price could target $5.60, provided key resistances at $2.20 – $2.50 are breached, a level also aligned with the 50-week simple moving average.
For now, the asset price hovers around $2, but a bounce above the 20-day EMA at $2.18 could open the way for a test of the psychological $3 threshold.
Institutional demand explodes, propelling XRP into the spotlight. If technical resistances give way, the asset could start a new bullish cycle. It remains to be seen whether this momentum will be sustained over time or fade as quickly as it appeared.
