Last week saw XRP spot ETFs attract a net inflow of $8.15 million, a solid indicator of investor interest. Yet, the price of XRP barely budged, hovering between $1.09 and $1.13 during the same period.

This disconnect between hefty ETF inflows and stagnant price suggests other market factors are at play. While ETF investors are adding XRP exposure, broader market sentiment or selling pressure might be counterbalancing these inflows.

Such a scenario is not uncommon in crypto markets where price movements don't always mirror fund flows immediately. Traders might be waiting for clearer signals, or the inflows could be concentrated in specific ETFs without moving the wider spot market.

For comparison, recent events like Ripple’s notable SEC court victory led to a marked price surge, showing how legal clarity can directly impact XRP's valuation, unlike the current inflow-driven stagnation.
