【Crypto World】The XRP ETF market is quite interesting. The net inflow over 30 consecutive days has already surpassed similar products for Bitcoin and Ethereum, which is still rare in the market. Since Canary Capital first launched a spot XRP ETF in November, the market response has been good, attracting nearly $250 million in funds. Subsequently, major players like Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Grayscale also quickly launched their own XRP fund products.
But here’s an interesting contradiction. According to calculations, the buying pressure for the ETF is about $1 billion, so logically, the XRP price should be pushed higher. But what’s the reality? The XRP price has already fallen below $2, fluctuating between $1.88 and $1.92. Why is that? Essentially, retail investors are continuously selling, while institutions are hedging, and these two forces directly offset the hidden demand support brought by the ETF products. The capital looks lively, but the price trend seems a bit weak.

paper hands everywhere, classic playbook. institutions pump the flows then dump on retail fomo. $1.88's not capitulation yet tbh—too much weak signal noise still floating around. wait for the real bottom when nobody's even talking about xrp anymore, that's when the alpha leaks start.

Retail investors offloading, institutions hedging—when will retail investors get their turn to enjoy this wave?

empirically speaking, this is just classic market structure failure—the data suggests institutional hedging is literally canceling out organic demand. been writing about this exact mechanism in my governance research thread, but yeah, retail panic selling vs macro positioning always wins 🤓

Retail investors sell off at the slightest move, and it's pointless for funds to rush in.
Institutions are hedging, while we're just cutting losses. XRP can't win this game.
A billion-dollar buy order can't even push the price up, it's ridiculous...
Where's the promised ETF effect? Instead, it dropped below 2.
This is the textbook version of institutions harvesting retail investors, brother.

Retail investors are really being squeezed by institutions who are accumulating shares on one side and hedging against you on the other. You're still holding the bag.

Retail investors are疯狂selling off, institutions are short hedging, this is the reality
---
A $1 billion buy order can't withstand the selling pressure, XRP's recent move is a bit tragic
---
To be honest, ETF inflows look good, but the price action is quite magical
---
Institutions are arbitraging, retail investors are taking the hit, always the same old trick
---
It looks strong, but in reality, it's just paper wealth; the price still crashes

Retail investors are really quick to run, while institutions are just starting to buy and then start dumping
The ETF net inflow is so strong, yet the price has fallen below 2. This move is a bit ruthless
Billion-dollar buy orders can't even hold the price, it seems someone is manipulating behind the scenes
Institutional hedging strategies are still sophisticated, leaving retail investors holding the bag
This wave of XRP market movement, politely called accumulation, but frankly it's just a harvest

Institutions are accumulating, while retail investors are jumping off the high platform. We've seen this show too many times.
---
A 1 billion buy wall pressure but it still didn't push the price higher—that's the most heartbreaking part.
---
Despite the crazy influx of ETFs, XRP is still hovering around 1.88. How many people are dumping their holdings?
---
Now those entering XRP are betting on the ETF effect, but I think institutions have already hedged, making a huge profit.
---
Basically, big players are full, while retail investors are still taking the bait. It’s always the same every time.
---
Interesting contradiction? This is not a contradiction; it’s just the market manipulating to shake out weak hands.
---
Continuous net inflow for 30 days surpassing BTC sounds impressive, but the price still fell—truly incredible.
---
When Franklin and these institutions push ETFs, I knew trouble was coming. They drain the blood and then run.
---
From 1.88 to 1.92, fluctuating repeatedly—typical manipulation to increase volume, waiting for retail to sell off completely before pushing up.
XRP ETF has experienced net inflows for 30 consecutive days, surpassing Bitcoin, but the 1.88 USD price trend reversal behind it
