Despite the fact that XRP's price has shown strong upward momentum, the cryptocurrency ETF market has exhibited a rare statistical paradox: after XRP price stabilized above $1.44, net inflows into U.S. spot XRP ETFs suddenly dropped to $0. SoSoValue
Despite stagnant performance among mainstream altcoins, market leaders continue to rise.

Last week, after over $55.39 million flowed into the XRP ETF, institutional investors may have paused their activities to assess whether XRP’s price can sustain above $1.40. The total assets under management for XRP funds now exceed $1.07 billion.
Yesterday's zero inflow indicates that large investors neither took profits nor rushed to enter at current market levels, but are instead waiting for a breakout above the key resistance level of $1.55.
