XRP ETFs: Green, But Barely – What’s Next?

by

After a long winter of red, the XRP ETFs finally managed to turn green-though not by much, and certainly not with the enthusiasm of a toddler on a sugar rush. It’s the financial equivalent of a half-hearted yawn, but at least it’s not a full-blown snore.

The underlying asset attempted a notable breakout during the week, only to be rejected and driven south toward its starting position. It’s like a toddler trying to climb a mountain only to realize the summit is just a pile of sand and a misplaced snack.

Green but Unimpressive

Recall the initial trading days of the spot XRP ETFs. The first one, Canary Capital’s XRPC, saw the light of day in mid-November and broke the 2025 record for a debut-day trading volume. Four more such funds followed suit, and they went on a massive green streak of well over a month, seeing only net inflows. It was a golden era, with the first ETF breaking records, but then… the party ended. January 7 was the first day in the red, and it was a disaster. The inflows dropped like a lead balloon, from millions to mere thousands.

The total net inflows dropped significantly, to $15.59 million in January and $58 million in February. However, March has been deep in the red for now, with more than $31.5 million leaving the funds. The good news for the past week is that it ended in the green – for the first time this month. The bad news, though, is that the actual inflows were quite negligible at just $636,480. Nowhere near the millions seen previously. Additionally, two of the trading days saw no action, with $0.00 reportable inflows for March 18 and March 19. Because even the ETFs were taking a nap.

XRP Progress Halted

Ripple’s cross-border token joined the overall market-wide rally in the middle of the week. It skyrocketed from approximately $1.42 to a monthly high of over $1.60, before it was stopped and pushed south to $1.55 at first. However, the market conditions worsened in the following days, especially in the past 12 hours, and XRP dipped below $1.40 earlier today. It’s like a rollercoaster that suddenly decides to reverse course and take you back to the beginning, but with fewer screams and more regret.

Although it has rebounded slightly to over that level, it has still erased all weekly gains and sits at approximately the same spot as it did last Sunday. Popular analyst Ali Martinez weighed in on the asset’s price performance and provided a chart that could “offer a strong buying opportunity for XRP” once it touches the ascending trendline. Because nothing says “smart investment” like betting on a line that might not hold. This trendline could offer a strong buying opportunity for $XRP! – Ali Charts (@alicharts) March 20, 2026. Because if you’re not risking your life savings on a graph, are you even investing?
