XRP Price Weakens as ETF Flows Turn Negative

$XRP Price is showing signs of weakness in the short term. The altcoin has slipped below its rising support line and is now trading under $1.450, which suggests buyers may be losing control.

The crypto market is also back inside its previous range. Unless $XRP reclaims the $1.452–$1.465 zone, upside could remain limited, and any bounce into that area may face selling pressure. If the price falls below $1.4236, the next level to watch is around $1.387.

Ripple $XRP Supply Drops, but Buyers Still Present

$XRP reserves on Binance have dropped sharply from about $10 billion in July 2025 to roughly $3.9 billion in March 2026, a decline of around 61%.

This drop could be due to investors moving funds into private wallets, institutional accumulation, transfers to other platforms, or usage in DeFi and on-chain activity.

At the same time, order book data shows stronger buy-side depth than sell-side pressure. This suggests there is solid support at lower levels, and it may take less capital to push prices up than to push them down.

$XRP ETF Sees Losses and Limited Inflows

Institutional signals are mixed. A fund from Bitwise Asset Management reported a net loss of $25.937 million, entirely due to unrealized losses on its $XRP holdings. The fund holds 131.2 million $XRP, reported no investment income, and recorded a loss of $2.31 per share. It was launched on November 19, 2025, with trading starting the next day, and it only sells $XRP when needed to cover expenses.

More broadly, $XRP ETFs in the U.S. have seen only four days of inflows in March, compared to six days of outflows. Total assets under management currently stand at about $1.02 billion.

XRPL Network Growth Continues

📈 $XRP Ledger is continuing to see its network grow. Based on wallet size, here are the amount of addresses under each tier:

🦐🐟 Less Than 100 $XRP: 5.66M Wallets
🐡🐬 100 to 100K $XRP: 2.01M Wallets

According to data from Santiment, the $XRP Ledger continues to grow despite recent price pressure. There are now about 5.66 million wallets holding less than 100 $XRP, around 2.01 million wallets holding between 100 and 100,000 $XRP, and 32,054 wallets holding more than 100,000 $XRP.

This steady increase across small, mid-sized, and large holders suggests that user participation remains strong even as overall market sentiment stays cautious.

Short-term momentum looks weak unless key levels are reclaimed, but falling exchange supply and steady network growth show that the interest in $XRP has not disappeared.
