Why Isn’t XRP Rising? 13 Weeks of ETF Inflows Haven’t Moved the Price
US spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) drew about $740,000 in net inflows on October 14. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) funds lost nearly $400 million combined that day.
The inflow kept XRP funds positive so far this week as the token continued declining. Large holders, meanwhile, are moving more XRP onto Binance.
XRP Funds Haven’t Logged a Losing Week Since July
According toSoSoValue data, XRP ETFs have drawn net inflows for 13 consecutive weeks. The last weekly outflow, about $7.2 million, came in the week ending July 10.
Cumulative net inflows now stand at a record $1.80 billion. However, inflows have cooled since the week ending September 25, which brought $75.6 million. The next 2 weeks added $4.7 million and $11.3 million.
Zcash (ZEC) funds were the only other group to attract money on October 14, taking in $3.68 million. Still, they remain $3.16 million in the red for the week so far.

XRP Price Slides as Whales Send More Coins to Binance
The steady ETF demand has come during a weak stretch for XRP’s price. The token traded at $1.31 at press time, down 5.11% over the past 24 hours.
That leaves XRP about 64% below its all-time high of $3.65, set on July 17, 2025.
Lower prices have also cut XRP ETF net assets from $1.77 billion on September 25 to $1.51 billion. BeInCrypto previously reported that ETF buyers kept adding even while sitting on losses.
Large holders, however, have been sending more XRP to exchanges. Analyst Arab Chain reported that 30-day XRP whale inflows to Binance reached 1.669 billion XRP.
That is a seven-month high. The figure stood at roughly 1.65 billion XRP in September. More coins on Binance can add to the supply available for sale.
However, the analyst cautioned that the transfers may reflect wallet reshuffling or other Binance services instead of selling.
XRP is being pulled between two forces. ETF buyers have kept adding for 13 weeks, while whale deposits to Binance sit at a seven-month high.
So far, the token has followed the broader market instead. Crypto prices slid after a hotter-than-expected US Consumer Price Index (CPI) print on October 14.
ETF inflows do give some confidence, but they have yet to translate into price gains. Until they do, XRP’s next move will likely depend on how the wider market digests the inflation data
