XRP ETF Sees First Outflows in 3 Months Amid Price Retest of $1.30

XRP spot ETFs recorded their first weekly outflows in 13 weeks as the cryptocurrency retested the $1.30 price level.

XRP spot ETFs recorded their first weekly outflows in 13 weeks as the cryptocurrency retested the $1.30 price level. XRP (XRP) is trading at $1.30. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by U.Today, with live market data added, as of Sat, 17 Oct 2026 20:45:02 UTC.

Why it matters

This marks a potential shift in investor sentiment for XRP, coinciding with a key price level retest, which could influence near-term market dynamics and ETF flows.

Key takeaways
  • XRP ETFs saw outflows after 13 consecutive weeks of inflows.
  • XRP is retesting the $1.30 price level after a 7.4% weekly decline.
  • Market cap remains strong at $82.03B despite recent price pressure.

XRP has faced downward pressure in recent days, with its price retesting the $1.30 level after a 7.4% decline over the past week. This price movement coincides with the first weekly outflows from XRP spot ETFs in 13 weeks, according to U.Today.

The outflows mark a reversal in the trend that had seen consistent inflows into XRP ETFs since July, suggesting a possible change in investor sentiment. Despite this, XRP maintains a substantial market cap of $82.03 billion, reflecting its continued importance in the cryptocurrency market.

The broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.8 trillion. Bitcoin has shown a slight increase of 0.12% over the past 24 hours, while the overall market sentiment, as measured by the Fear & Greed Index, remains in 'Greed' territory at 55.

This development comes amidst a period of price consolidation for XRP, which has been testing key support and resistance levels. The ETF outflows could indicate profit-taking by investors or a shift in their short-term outlook for the cryptocurrency.

Looking ahead, the key level to watch for XRP is the $1.30 support. If the price fails to hold above this level, it could signal further downside. Conversely, a rebound could attract renewed interest and potentially reverse the outflow trend in ETFs.
