$XRP The next major move for $XRP might be driven by a force that's already locking up millions of tokens: Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).In less than two months, XRP ETFs have already attracted over $1 billion in inflows, locking up roughly 746 million XRP (just over 1% of circulating supply). Since launch, there’s been only one day of net outflows—showing steady, sustained institutional and market interest.Why does this matter?ETFs typically hold assets long-term. This means less XRP available on the open market. In fact, exchange balances for XRP fell by 58% in 2025. Less supply on exchanges = lower sell pressure = potential support for higher prices over time.The big picture:Experts project that if XRP ETFs reach $5 billion in assets by mid-2026, nearly 2.6 billion XRP could be taken out of active circulation (~4% of total supply). That’s a significant reduction in available tokens.Price context:Despite strong ETF demand, XRP facedheadwinds in late 2025, struggling to hold above $2. Recently, however, it has reclaimed the key macro support near $1.88, which analysts see as a constructive start to the year.What’s next?· Holding above $1.88** couldopenapathtoward**$2.30resistance. If ETF inflows continue and reach the $5B milestone, the supply squeeze could become a major price catalyst. Some forecasts, like Standard Chartered’s +330% projection, point to substantial upside in 2026 if institutional adoption grows.Bottom line:While short-term volatility is always possible, the structural shift from ETFs—combined with declining exchange supply—could set the stage for a new price paradigm.Keep an eye on: ETF flow data, exchange balance trends, and key support holds.What’s your take—will ETF-driven supply lock-up push XRP to new highs in 2026? 👇#XRP #ETF #Crypto #Trading #Binance square #Market update #Supply demand$XRP
