Crypto News Today: XRP Spot Buys Surge 212% as Institutional Inflows Top $1.1 Billion

Trading activity around XRP has picked up sharply, with new data from Bitrue showing a significant jump in spot purchases.

According to the exchange, XRP spot buy volumes recently climbed 212%, with buying pressure more than doubling the sell side. The spike comes as institutional interest in XRP has been steadily building, particularly following the launch of XRP-linked exchange-traded products.

Market Reset Clears the Way

The surge follows a broader market shakeout in mid-February, when roughly $1.9 billion in realized losses were recorded across crypto markets. That flush forced out heavily leveraged positions and reduced immediate selling pressure.

With weaker hands cleared from the market, order books appear cleaner. The environment has created space for capital to rotate into assets showing fresh momentum.

Over the past five weeks, approximately $3.8 billion has reportedly flowed out of Bitcoin-focused ETFs. During the same period, XRP-linked investment products have attracted about $1.1 billion in net inflows.

That shift also shows some investors are diversifying exposure away from Bitcoin and into alternative large-cap digital assets.

Institutional and Retail Flows Converge

Data cited by Bitrue indicates XRP has recorded consistent positive weekly inflows, with only a handful of days showing net outflows. Combined institutional and retail participation appears to be strengthening overall demand.

Retail buyers, in particular, are stepping into what traders describe as a less crowded market structure after the recent correction. When leveraged positions unwind, it often reduces short-term volatility and lowers resistance levels for renewed accumulation.

If inflows continue while available supply on exchanges tightens, some analysts believe XRP could see upward pressure in the coming months.

Broader XRP Ecosystem Developments

Beyond price action, activity within the XRP Ledger ecosystem has also expanded. Tokens operating within the XRPL environment, including RLUSD, are increasingly being integrated into trading pairs and liquidity pools on various platforms.

Exchanges are adjusting strategies to align with this growth, aiming to position themselves as liquidity venues for XRP and related assets.
