Spot XRP (XRP) ETFs absorbed $60.5 million in net inflows last week, their strongest stretch since December, even as the underlying token failed yet another breakout attempt above key technical resistance.
Ripple ETFs Extend May Streak
The five US-listed spot Ripple funds have drawn nearly $95 million in May, already surpassing Apr.'s $81.59 million tally, according to SoSoValue data. Last week's $60.5 million haul alone topped February's full-month total. Zero outflow days have been logged across the entire month so far.
Cumulative inflows have climbed to a record $1.39 billion since the products debuted in November.
The streak marks a sharp turnaround from Mar., when redemptions briefly outweighed deposits as global uncertainty weighed on risk appetite, before demand recovered in Apr. with 14 consecutive sessions of net inflows.
Bitwise's XRP fund has pulled ahead of Canary Capital's XRPC, which was the first such product to launch. Bitwise holds $460 million in cumulative inflows, while Canary trails at $444 million.
Products from Franklin Templeton and Grayscale have also added steady flows, with the five funds now managing roughly $1.14 billion in combined assets.

Price Action Stalls Below $1.55
XRP pushed to $1.55 on Thursday, its highest mark since Mar., after the CLARITY Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee in a 15-9 bipartisan vote.
The legislation, sponsored by committee chairman Tim Scott, would establish digital asset classification rules.
The rally proved short-lived. By Saturday, sellers drove the token back below $1.40 amid renewed pressure. The token traded around $1.42 at press time, losing the fourth spot in market capitalization to BNB.
Analysts Map Recovery Path
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, recently characterized the inflow pace as a notable acceleration, partly tied to growing anticipation around the CLARITY Act in Washington. Technical analyst EGRAG CRYPTO maintains a constructive long-term view, mapping resistance levels XRP must reclaim to restart a sustained bull run, with macro Fibonacci targets near $9, $17 and $26.
Other observers see $1.50 as the immediate hurdle, a level that has rejected every breakout attempt this year before the Thursday move.
XRP has spent roughly 60% of 2026 trading inside a tight $1.30 to $1.50 range, with sellers consistently defending the upper boundary across multiple attempts since February. The token remains down 39% from its Jul. 2025 peak near $3.65, even as ETF demand sets fresh records and the regulatory backdrop improves after the recent CLARITY Act vote. The asset last closed above $1.50 only briefly during the late Mar. recovery before sliding back into range.
