XRPUSD Slides to $1.41 on ETF Outflows
Ripple (XRPUSD) slides by 1.01% to $1.41 due to sustained selloffs in the crypto market. The price slump was primarily driven by sustained institutional selling pressure via ETF outflows and a deeply negative derivatives market.
Crypto market records indicated that XRP spot ETFs logged their fifth consecutive daily net outflow, with $2.21 million withdrawn from the market.
The sell-off accelerated after XRP broke below its daily pivot at $1.44 and its 7-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $1.45. The 14-day RSI sits at 39, approaching oversold territory but not yet extreme.
The loss of these immediate technical supports triggered stop-losses and invited more selling, confirming the bearish momentum.
The immediate catalyst is the U.S. advance Q4 2025 GDP estimate due February 20. A stronger-than-expected print could pressure risk assets like XRP further, while a soft reading might offer relief.
The trend remains bearish below $1.45. The $1.35 level is critical near-term support, with a break potentially targeting the $1.20 region last tested in early February. XRP’s decline is rooted in institutional outflow and derivatives pessimism, exacerbated by a technical breakdown.
Volume
XRP-linked exchange-traded products appear to be seeing faster recent net inflows than Bitcoin and Ether funds, but from a much smaller starting base.
ETF inflows outpace BTC and ETH mean that over a recent window, net new money, in percentage terms, has grown faster in XRP products.
By contrast, BTC and ETH ETFs still dominate in size. Over the past week, Bitcoin ETFs have held about 94.01 billion in assets, while Ether ETFs have held about 13 billion, both up less than 1 percent.
