"Like some other well-known cryptocurrencies, XRP tokens are available to purchase directly or through exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Traditional retail investors tend to prefer to invest in the token through ETFs for convenience and tax advantages. And recently, the money being put into spot XRP ETFs is rising. ("Spot" means that the ETF holds the asset directly.) As noted by CoinDesk, spot XRP ETF inflows reached $48 million on Monday alone."
"At the same time that spot XRP inflows are rising, the availability of XRP on traditional cryptocurrency exchanges, where crypto investors can buy and sell the coin directly, is falling. CoinDesk says XRP availability on crypto exchanges "has dropped to multi-year lows." What this means is fewer crypto investors are moving their money to exchanges, where a coin must be if it is to be sold, and instead keeping XRP in their personal wallets."
XRP started 2025 near $2.32 and finished around $1.84, then climbed more than 11% in 24 hours to $2.37. Spot XRP ETF inflows have accelerated, with $48 million on a single Monday and cumulative inflows exceeding $1 billion over two months. Retail investors frequently prefer ETFs for convenience and tax reasons, and spot ETFs hold the asset directly. Meanwhile, XRP balances on centralized exchanges have fallen to multi-year lows as holders move coins to personal wallets. The combination of rising ETF demand and reduced exchange availability tightens supply and supports upward price pressure.
