XRP and HYPE funds attract over $220M in June despite XRP price falling 18%
Key Facts
Altcoin-focused ETFs saw record inflows in June, with XRP and HYPE funds together attracting over $220 million, per CoinDesk data. But XRP's price dropped 18% during the same month, raising questions about the effectiveness of these inflows in supporting prices, despite a third consecutive month of positive ETF flows.
This divergence between flows and price comes as XRP recorded a rare bullish RSI divergence while testing a year-long trendline. While the divergence signals potential upside momentum, the sharp 18% decline highlights weak spot demand despite institutional interest via ETFs.
Traders are watching whether the year-long trendline will break lower or if the RSI signal drives a rebound. With bitcoin and ether ETFs still seeing outflows, the focus is on whether XRP can convert its fund inflows into positive price action in July.
