XRP News Today: XRP ETFs Surge, Price Stalls-Can Inflows Break Technical Resistance?

XRP's recent price rebound has sparked mixed signals for investors, as ETF inflows surge but the token remains below key technical levels. On Nov. 24, 2025, XRP spot ETFs recorded $164 million in net inflows, with Grayscale's GXRP leading the charge at $67.36 million according to forecasts. This pushed total inflows to $586.7 million, outpacing the previous week's $179.6 million and signaling growing institutional and retail interest in the asset. The price rebounded from a critical support cluster -comprising a 1.0 Fibonacci level (~$1.96), the 100-week EMA, and a broadening-wedge trendline- to briefly trade above $2.20. However, despite these inflows, XRP's price has remained range-bound between $2.16 and $2.29, failing to break out of a technical bear market.

The launch of Franklin Templeton's XRPZ and Grayscale's GXRP on Nov. 24 marked a pivotal moment, with early trading volume hitting $13.9 million, led by Bitwise's dominance. Analysts have debated the implications of these products. While ETFs offer liquidity and ease of access, critics argue they dilute direct ownership benefits, such as asset control and utility within the XRP ecosystem. A prominent analyst defended his XRP position despite a 45% drop from recent highs, dismissing fears of a deeper crash post-ETF launch.

Technical indicators, however, suggest caution. XRP remains below the 100-day EMA and has formed a descending pattern of lower lows and lower highs. Meanwhile, Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD has seen a 56% surge in 30-day transaction volume to $3.5 billion, and its circulation rose 28% to $1.2 billion, positioning it as the third-largest GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoin after USDC and PYUSD.

Long-term predictions remain optimistic. Some analysts project XRP could reach $5.05 by year-end 2025 and $26.50 by 2030, driven by ETF adoption. However, current price action contradicts these forecasts, with XRP trading at $2.20 as of Nov. 26-down 16.95% from its 30-day high. The token's market cap of $132.4 billion accounts for just 0.49% of ETF assets, suggesting room for growth but also highlighting underperformance relative to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The coming weeks will test whether ETF inflows can translate into sustained price momentum. With XRP ETFs now dominating trading volumes and Ripple's legal battles nearing resolution, the market's focus remains on whether technical resistance levels can be breached-and whether institutional confidence will outweigh bearish fundamentals.
