Wall Street’s renewed embrace of XRP hasn’t yet translated into a sustained price rally — but the institutional flows point to growing confidence that could set the stage for a rebound. ETF inflows flood in, streak intact Since their Nov. 13 debut, five spot XRP ETFs — from Canary, 21Shares, Grayscale, Bitwise and Franklin Templeton — have attracted heavy demand. SoSoValue data shows these funds pulled in $1.13 billion in net inflows by Dec. 23, taking total assets under management to about $1.125 billion. Remarkably, the ETFs have reported net inflows every trading day since launch, extending an unbroken 33-day streak that contrasts with intermittent outflows seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs over the same period. Franklin Templeton hits an institutional milestone A major contributor to the momentum is Franklin Templeton: as of Dec. 22 its XRP spot ETF held roughly 101.55 million XRP — about $192.7 million at current prices. That level of institutional backing is being read as a sign that large investors view XRP as a more settled, investable asset after years of legal uncertainty for Ripple. Price lagging despite steady demand Despite the steady inflows, XRP’s market price has struggled to hold gains. At the time of writing XRP traded around $1.84, down about 1.7% over 24 hours and roughly 10.6% over the past month. ETF buying hasn’t yet produced a clear, sustained breakout in the spot market. Sentiment dynamics could point to a turning point Analysts following on-chain and social data see a silver lining. Santiment’s monitoring shows unusually high levels of negative social chatter — extreme “FUD” — around XRP right now. Historically, Santiment says, periods when retail sentiment is most pessimistic have often preceded sharp upside moves: “When retail has doubts about a coin’s ability to rise, the rise becomes significantly more likely.” With inflows remaining positive, many traders interpret the current dip as a coiled spring that could snap upward when conditions align. Bottom line Institutional interest in XRP, led by consistent ETF inflows and Franklin Templeton’s large holdings, signals growing confidence from big investors. Price action has been muted for now, but historical patterns in sentiment and steady buying from ETFs leave analysts optimistic that a rebound could be coming.
