Spot XRP ETFs Post Weeklong Outflows as On‑Chain Transactions and DeFi Activity Rise

Spot XRP exchange‑traded funds in the United States have registered zero net inflows for over a week, signaling evaporating investor demand for the new funds; XRP itself logged some weekly gains before stalling around $1.45 ^[1].

On‑chain metrics show rising usage of the XRP ledger: daily transactions have surged roughly threefold year‑over‑year and daily payments have approached the 3 million mark, while price action has remained muted during this uptick in network activity ^{[2] [3]}.

Data from the Flare network indicate growing DeFi‑related activity tied to XRP’s broader ecosystem, suggesting expanding decentralized finance participation despite weak ETF flows ^{[4] [1]}.

Technical analysts are offering divergent views: one chartist traced a descending channel and proposed a long‑term $8.6 target for XRP, while other commentators point to monthly RSI readings that they say are the most oversold since 2022 ^{[5] [6]}.

In summary, ETF investor momentum has cooled even as on‑chain activity and ecosystem metrics rise and analysts remain split on XRP’s path forward; market participants will likely continue monitoring fund flows, ledger usage and technical indicators for further direction ^{[1] [2] [4] [5] [6]}.
