XRP is drawing fresh money from futures traders and ETF investors, yet its price refuses to follow. Open interest on Binance has climbed above its 30-day average and ETF inflows reached $8.15 million, while the token stalls near $1.14 below $1.15 resistance.
XRP has gained attention from futures traders and ETF investors while its price lags behind. Binance's 30-day open interest Z-Score has climbed to 1.60, well above its recent average.
Futures build faster than price
Total open interest sat at about 440.6 million XRP, against a 30-day average of 418.5 million and a standard deviation of 13.8 million. Derivatives traders are participating more heavily, but that has not produced a clear price breakout, and open interest remains far below the 2025 rally levels.
That gap carries a risk. If leverage keeps building while price stays flat, the market may become more exposed to volatility and liquidations.
ETF inflows recover, but unevenly
XRP ETFs added $8.15 million in weekly inflows, an improvement on the previous week and an extended recovery after recent outflows. Total assets have reached $1.04 billion.
Yet this demand arrived with minimal potential for price upside, as things stand. Weekly flows have been uneven, so consistent inflows would be needed before the recovery counts as a trend.
Price holds, trend stays weak
All of this has given XRP a mild technical lift, though not enough for a surge. The token traded near $1.14 after recovering from the $1.05 area, with $1.15 acting as immediate resistance.
Momentum readings back up the caution. The positive directional indicator sat above the negative one, but the ADX was low at 13.17, pointing to a weak trend. A daily close above $1.15 could open further gains, while a drop below $1.10 may bring $1.05 back into focus.
