Ripple XRP Price Today After $30B February Surge — Is Momentum Gone?

Published by

In February, Ripple’s XRP saw a major spike in investor activity, with its Realised Cap jumping from $30.1 billion to $64.2 billion. This sudden surge grabbed attention across the crypto space. But now that the excitement has cooled, inflows have slowed—raising questions about where XRP is headed next.

February Frenzy: XRP’s $30B Inflow Explained

Data from the XRP Realised Cap by Age chart shows a sharp rise in February—from $30.1 billion to $64.2 billion. This means nearly $30 billion flowed into the XRP market in a short period, signaling a wave of investor interest and strong market momentum.

Interestingly, despite this large inflow, XRP’s price moved sideways through most of February. It started the month at $3.0320 and ended at $2.144, marking a 29.3% decline. This disconnect between capital inflows and price action points to short-term trading and profit-taking.

Retail Investors Led the Charge – But Where Are They Now?

The sudden rise in Realised Cap suggests short-term traders were behind much of the February surge. These kinds of inflows usually reflect hype and rapid speculation, rather than long-term investment. Once that hype faded, so did the momentum.

So far in April, XRP is showing signs of weakness. Since the start of the month, the price has dropped over 13.3%. Between April 6 and 8 alone, the market fell by more than 16.21%, adding to the bearish outlook.

 

Signs of Colling: What Slower Inflows Mean for XRP

Data suggests that after February, the inflows into XRP slowed down. This means that the momentum has cooled and those investors are not buying as actively now.

The XRP market experienced a change of +46% in January, -29.3% in February and -2.52% in March.

At the beginning of this month, the price of XRP was at $2.0943. Since then, the market has slipped by over 13.3%. Between April 6 and 8 alone, the market decreased by no fewer than 16.21%.    

The $30 billion inflow in February shows just how quickly retail interest can flood into the crypto market. But with inflows now slowing and prices continuing to fall, it’s clear much of that excitement was short-lived. Whether XRP can bounce back depends on one key factor—if new buying interest returns, or if the market continues to drift lower as enthusiasm fades.

So, the rollercoaster dips again. Guess we’re all just watching the charts and waiting for the next big wave.
