XRP price tenses at $1.4 as ETF outflows break bullish streak

XRP (XRP) traded near $1.4 on March 25 as the token moved in a narrow range and stayed close to recent support. 

XRP traded at $1.42 at press time, with a 24-hour trading volume of $2.1 billion. The token was up slightly on the day but remained down almost 7% over the past week. Its market capitalization stood at about $87.2 billion, based on a circulating supply of 61 billion XRP.

The token moved in line with the broader crypto market, with no major XRP-specific event driving price in the session. XRP stayed near $1.41 as buyers and sellers failed to take control, leaving the asset compressed between support and resistance.

Onchain data showed whale wallets added about 40 million XRP over the past week. The buying came during a consolidation phase and suggested that some large holders were accumulating while the market remained uncertain.

At the same time, some analysts warned that XRP could still move lower before any trend reversal takes shape. Crypto analyst Casi said, 

The analyst said XRP is trading within an ABC sub-wave inside a larger Wave 2 structure, with Wave 3 possibly bringing deeper losses before a recovery attempt begins.

XRP ETF flows turn negative in March

March 2026 became XRP’s first net outflow month since spot ETFs launched in late 2025, based on SoSoValue data. XRP spot ETFs recorded net outflows of $30.12 million during the month, reversing the strong pace seen after launch.

The monthly trend showed a sharp slowdown in demand. XRP ETFs posted $666 million in net inflows in November 2025, followed by $499 million in December. January dropped to $15 million, while February recovered to $58 million before March turned negative. The products had also gone 35 straight trading days without an outflow before that streak ended.

Elsewhere, while XRP price stayed under pressure, Ripple continued to push its payments business forward. As previously reported, the company said it is working with supply chain finance firm Unloq to test a trade finance model on the XRP Ledger through BLOOM, a sandbox run by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
