XRP ETFs Fall: Is Wall Street’s New Romeo Losing His Heart?

by

The little fleet of spot exchange-traded funds that claim to mirror Ripple’s borderless token have continued their quest for profundity, carving out a brand-new nadir in March. One might say they’ve mastered the art of celestial descent.

The situation grows more alarming when we peer beneath the glittering surface: XRP is losing the fashionable battle for the fourth place against BNB, much like a pigeon losing a duel with a sparrow.

XRP ETFs Fall Short

After years of building anticipation, the first spot XRP ETF-Canary Capital’s XRPC-made a debut so triumphant it shattered the launch-day trading volume record for 2025. New entrants followed, attracting over a billion dollars in roughly a month, and for almost two months each showed no day of negative net flows, a feat that even the venerable BTC and ETH ETFs could only dream of.

In November and December they accrued $666.61 million and $500 million respectively, suggesting the pre-launch hype might have been justified. Yet the months that followed brought far less splendor: January net inflows dipped to a mere $15.59 million, while February followed with $58.09 million. The sparkle faded, perhaps in spite of the increasingly tense global melodrama.

March saw the war-induced tension accelerate, oil prices leap, and doubt seep into markets. Investors withdrew $31.16 million from the spot XRP ETFs-making that month the first in the red since November’s launch. Even more disconcerting is that eight of the twenty‑two trading days recorded no inflows at all, a clear sign that demand has vanished like a good excuse at a dinner party.

XRP in Danger

Meanwhile, the underlying asset has suffered further, slipping more than 3% weekly and now hovering just shy of the $1.30 support line-a psychological threshold that, if pierced, could open the floodgates to a deeper correction. Analysts have begun whispering that a drop to $1.26 might set off a cascade of high-leverage liquidations.

If $XRP falls to around $1.26, most high-leverage long positions will be liquidated.

Another pundit, CRYPTOWZRD, noted that XRP closed the previous day’s candle undecided, teasing the $1.32 intraday resistance. If it stays below, the analyst predicts more weakness and shorting opportunities-a perfect playground for the sardonic.
