XRP price is holding its ground while the rest of the market buckles, as supported by its ETF flow data. XRP ETFs pulled in $8.88 million in the latest session, extending a run that included $18.52 million on May 14 and $10.87 million on May 15, totaling $42 million in net inflows across the past week.
Bitcoin ETFs, by contrast, shed another $100.9 million in the same session, following a brutal stretch of $648.6 million, $331.1 million, and $290.4 million in consecutive daily redemptions. Ethereum also lost $32.6 million in the latest session.
Not just ETF flows, XRP has also recorded its fourth-largest daily wallet creation spike of 2025, with 4,300 new addresses added in 24 hours.
The contrast between XRP inflows and BTC/ETH outflows points to selective rotation as BTC and ETH in fights againts its key supports.

Can XRP Price Break $1.50 This Week?
XRP’s price range of $1.36–$1.38 represents a holding pattern. The 7-day picture is less flattering with a -7% drawdown over the past week; the current stabilization is a recovery from a slide, not a continuation of a trend.
We identify $1.20–$1.25 as the critical support floor, with the $1.50–$1.60 band acting as near-term resistance that XRP has yet to convincingly reclaim.
Options positioning around the $1.40 level has been flagged as a near-term magnet, suggesting market makers may be keeping price anchored in a tight range heading into June expiry. ETF inflow data is encouraging, but spot volume has been modest, which limits the conviction behind the move.
The data points to a token in a critical zone, not yet confirming a reversal. Watch the $1.40 level closely.

Bitcoin Hyper: A Superior Chain
XRP’s rotation story is compelling, but even a successful breakout to $1.60 from $1.37 would represent just 17% upside. For traders who want the narrative of Bitcoin ecosystem expansion, institutional capital flows, and infrastructure plays without the large-cap ceiling, early-stage presales offer a different risk/reward profile entirely.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is currently in presale at $0.0136, having raised a huge $32 million to date. The project positions itself as the first-ever Bitcoin Layer 2 with Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration, targeting sub-second finality and smart contract capability on top of Bitcoin’s security layer, with performance that exceeds Solana.
A Decentralized Canonical Bridge handles BTC transfers, and staking is live with a high 36% APY for early participants.
The infrastructure thesis aligns directly with the capital rotation dynamic driving XRP’s current moment. Investors are not abandoning crypto; they are hunting for assets with structural upside that the majors can no longer provide at scale.
