Story HighlightsU.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted fresh capital on October 8, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum funds recorded outflows.
XRP price breakout above $1.50 level could open the way toward $1.60–$1.65.
The XRP ETF market is showing resilience as investors pull money from Bitcoin and Ethereum funds. U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted approximately $8.17 million in net inflows on October 8, while Bitcoin ETFs lost $244 million and Ethereum funds recorded $73 million in outflows. The divergence raises a key question: can continued XRP ETF demand help XRP price break above $1.50 resistance and trigger a stronger recovery?
XRP ETF Inflows Rise as Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds Lose Capital
XRP investment products attracted fresh capital while the two largest crypto ETF markets faced renewed selling pressure. On October 8, U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded approximately $8.17 million in net inflows, according to the figures shown in the market-flow data.
By comparison, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded around $244 million in net outflows, while Ethereum ETFs lost approximately $73 million. The contrast puts XRP ETF flows in focus as investors assess which digital assets are attracting capital during a period of broader market weakness.
Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF reportedly accounted for $8.17 million in inflows that day. Bitwise products have also attracted attention, with additional reports highlighting continued investor purchases of XRP ETF shares.
However, a single session cannot establish a lasting trend. The more important signal will be whether XRP ETFs continue recording net inflows over several sessions and whether that demand coincides with stronger spot-market buying.
XRP Price Analysis: Can ETF Demand Push XRP Above $1.50?
XRP price is trading near $1.40, showing consolidation below a resistance zone around $1.45–$1.50. Ripple token price remains under a horizontal neckline, suggesting sellers continue to challenge the recovery. A sustained move above $1.50 would provide the first meaningful bullish signal. If buying volume strengthens after the breakout, XRP could rally toward $1.60–$1.65. A broader supply zone near $2.00–$2.10 remains a more significant hurdle for any extended rally.
On the downside, $1.35–$1.33 is the immediate support area. A break below this zone could weaken the recovery and expose the lower demand area around $1.10–$1.15. The current setup leaves XRP at a crossroads. Positive ETF flows may improve sentiment, but the price still needs to overcome resistance before the market can confirm a bullish reversal.
Why XRP ETF Inflows Matter for the Price Outlook
Spot XRP ETFs provide investors with a regulated investment vehicle for gaining exposure to XRP without directly holding the token. Persistent net inflows can indicate growing demand for these products, although they do not guarantee an immediate increase in XRP’s market price.
