XRP exchange-traded products have seen inflows stall around $1.23 billion after earlier rapid growth, while the token's price has dropped by more than 10% this week. Recent trading days in February recorded either flat or minimal flows, and XRP has retreated from above $1.65 to around $1.40 despite brief double-digit gains. On-chain analytics point to dominant short activity, but some data suggest XRP may be undervalued and could potentially rebound based on past loss patterns.

XRP has fallen about 70% from its 2025 high of $3.65 to nearly $1.10, with realized losses recently spiking to roughly $908 million in the largest capitulation event since 2022. Large wallets and spot ETFs have been absorbing distressed supply as exchange reserves fall to five‑year lows and 30‑day volatility compresses, pointing to a maturing but still fragile market structure. While a past $1.93 billion loss event preceded a 114% rebound, changing liquidity conditions and institutional participation may alter the speed and scale of any recovery in the current cycle.
