XRP Has $1.4B in ETF Inflows: Why the Token Is Still 57% Below Its High

XRP has one of the strangest institutional-demand stories in crypto. XRP ETF inflows have surpassed $1.5 billion since U.S. spot products began launching, seven regulated funds now provide exposure to the token, and the latest week brought another $39.8 million into XRP products.

Yet XRP remains nowhere near its record price. The token recently rallied from roughly $1 to as high as $1.70 before settling around $1.47-$1.50. At those prices, XRP is roughly 59% below its July 2025 high of $3.65.

Enormous XRP ETF inflows have not translated into anything resembling a return to the previous peak. The explanation lies in the difference between strong marginal demand and the much larger market that demand has to overcome.
