XRP ETF Debut Boosts Exchange Activities

XRP is in the spotlight following its first-ever ETF launch, which coincided with a significant uptick in exchange activities on September 18, 2025.

Data from CryptoQuant reveals:

• XRP’s exchange inflows surged by 762% on launch day.
• Total exchange inflows reached 11.57 million XRP, up from 1.34 million the day prior.

This spike in activity has sparked speculation that the ETF launch generated excitement among traders, creating a flurry of speculative trading and prompting investors to reposition their holdings in anticipation of market volatility.

Bearish Signals Amidst ETF Launch

Despite this surge in inflow, increased exchange activities often signal selling pressure. Analysts have noted this could indicate traders are either taking profits or preparing to sell amid uncertainties regarding the ETF’s market performance.

Interestingly, XRP’s price rose over 5% on launch day, indicating strong demand even with increased selling pressure. However, as prices have recently dipped, analysts remain uncertain regarding XRP’s future price movements while maintaining optimism that institutional interest may reignite following the ETF launch, potentially driving XRP prices to new heights.
