US-based 
XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted over $1.8 billion in inflows, according to reports from Crypto.news and Decrypt. This significant capital inflow comes amidst a broader market downturn, with the total crypto market cap dropping to $2.65 trillion.
The inflows into XRP ETFs suggest growing institutional interest in the digital asset, potentially signaling increased legitimacy and demand. This development is notable given the current market conditions, where 
Bitcoin has fallen by 4.86% in the last 24 hours and the overall market is experiencing a decline.
Decrypt reports a separate development, noting a suspected Binance drain of $5.57 billion across three blockchains. This figure, if accurate, could indicate significant movement of funds within the crypto ecosystem. Additionally, Decrypt mentions that 
Tether and Circle have frozen $1.8 billion, which may be related to the broader market conditions and the recent XRP ETF inflows.
The circulating supply of Tether (USDT) remains stable at $180.2 billion, according to DeFiLlama. This stability in USDT supply contrasts with the volatility seen in other areas of the market, such as the 7.33% drop in XRP's price over the last 24 hours.
The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 30, indicating a state of 'Fear' among investors. This sentiment is reflected in the overall market performance, with most major cryptocurrencies experiencing declines.
Since this brief published about 13 hours ago, Tether (USDT) has moved from $0.9984 to $0.9984 — -0.00%.
The chart plots USDT's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDT ≈ ₦1,376.92 (about $0.9984), down 0.1% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
