Ripple XRP cross-border payments partnership

Since launching in November 2025, XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted more than $1.4 billion in inflows, showing steady investor demand. Products from asset managers such as Franklin Templeton and Canary Capital have continued to bring in new funds.

Despite this strong inflow, XRP’s price remains under pressure, currently trading near $1.38.

XRP ETFs Attract $1.4 Billion Inflows

XRP ETFs were launched in November 2025 after Ripple Labs secured a major legal victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Since then, these funds have attracted about $1.4 billion in total inflows.

According to James Seyffart, most of the money flowing into XRP ETFs is coming from retail investors rather than large institutions. This pattern has continued even during recent market volatility.

By early March 2026, total inflows across XRP ETF products had reached about $1.44 billion. Data also shows that investors added around $58 million in February, despite slower trading activity across the broader crypto market.

Institutions Slowly Joining the Trend

While retail investors dominate the inflows, some large institutions are beginning to take positions.

Coinpeida news reported that Goldman Sachs revealed in its latest filing with the SEC that it holds about $154 million worth of XRP ETF shares. These make it one of the largest institutional investors in these funds.

XRP Price Struggles Despite $1.4B ETF Inflows

However, the price of XRP continues to face pressure even though XRP ETFs have attracted over $1.4 billion in inflows since launch. Recently, weakening institutional demand has also affected the token’s price.

Since March 5, U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds have recorded about $44.76 million in outflows. Because of this, XRP’s price has continued to fall.

Although, since the XRP ETF launch, the token has dropped sharply from its November high of $2.57.

As of now, XRP is trading below $1.38, which is about a 45% decline since the ETF launch.

Chart Analyst Eyeing $2 level For XRP

Meanwhile, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that XRP’s Bollinger Bands are tightening around the $1.38 level. This pattern usually means the price is moving in a small range before a big move.

If buying pressure returns, rising volatility could push XRP toward a possible $2 retest in the coming weeks.
