XRP exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw inflows totaling $245 million in the week ending December 5, “bringing year-to-date inflows to US$3.1 billion, far surpassing the US$608 million inflows recorded in 2024,” CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill he said in its latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly report, adding:

“ETP investors believe the current surge in negative sentiment may have bottomed out.”

Meanwhile, spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued their perfect record of positive flows, with $10.23 million on Friday, marking 15 consecutive days of net inflows.

The streak pushed cumulative inflows to nearly $900 million and total assets under management (AUM) to $861.3 million, according to data from SoSoValue.

“For 15 consecutive days, every US spot $XRP ETF posted green inflows, pushing total assets close to $900 million,” he said crypto investor Giannis Andreou in an X post on Monday, noting that more than 400 million XRP tokens are already locked inside these investment products.

Andreo added:

“This is the kind of accumulation you usually see before the narrative changes.”

As reported by Cointelegraph, the continued inflows of spot XRP ETFs will likely determine XRP’s next price trajectory.

XRP breakout of symmetric triangle targets $2.65

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows XRP trading above a symmetrical triangle on a four-hour time frame, as shown in the chart below.

The price needs to close above the upper triangle trend line at $2.15 to continue the upward trajectory, with a measured target of $2.65.

Such a move would bring total gains to 27% from current levels.

“The symmetrical triangle on the 1H chart shows XRP tightly coiled, he said pseudonymous trader BD in X posted on Monday, adding,

“A breakout here could trigger a move up to 16%, pushing the price towards the $2.40 zone.”

As reported by Cointelegraph, a bullish daily close above $2.30 would confirm a breakout of the structure and likely lead to a move to $2.58 as long as support at $2 holds.
