Can ETF Demand Protect XRP Price From Bond Sell-Off?

XRP price traded near $1.37 on September 1 as rising Treasury yields reduced investor appetite for riskier assets. 

The overall market continued its pullback, with Bitcoin price in a $77,000 range and Ethereum staying above $2,400. XRP price saw inflows from strong spots in the ETF sector, but this demand was not sufficient to offset bond market pressure.

Can Record XRP ETF Inflows Prevent a Decline Toward $1.30?

US spot XRP funds saw their highest weekly inflow at $110.49 million in the week that ended Aug. 28. Total inflows were at $1.67 billion, representing demand in brokerage accounts

On August 31, the daily inflows amounted to $5.64 million, with new capital focused in two products. Canary’s XRPC raised $4.71 million, and Bitwise was able to raise approximately $930,000 in the session.

There was uneven activity among available funds, with Franklin, 21Shares, and Grayscale seeing none of the participation in terms of new capital.

Bitwise led with $507.23 million, followed by Franklin at $370.02 million and Canary at $341.60 million.

Combined assets reached $1.45 billion, representing 1.67% of XRP’s roughly $85 billion market value. That share limits funds’ ability to counter pressure from rates, liquidity, and derivatives activity.

The ten-year Treasury yield approached 4.80%, its highest level since January 2025. Higher government returns can pull capital from cryptocurrencies because bonds offer attractive income with lower risk.

CLARITY Act Countdown Begins as September 15 Senate Vote Approaches

Senator Kevin Cramer said the CLARITY Act has a strong chance of advancing during the September 15 vote. He also claimed some Democratic resistance reflects concerns that passage could benefit President Donald Trump.

Still, legislators continue to disagree on crypto ethics, stablecoin incentives and the safeguard of DeFi platforms. Those disagreements could complicate efforts to secure the 60 votes required for cloture.

CLARITY Act Faces Three Big Fights Before Senate Vote

The CLARITY Act faces pressure over crypto ethics, stablecoin rewards, and DeFi protections.

Those disputes could make the 60 votes needed for cloture harder to secure.

Kalshi participants assigned a 91% probability to a Senate vote before October as of August 31. Polymarket traders offered only a 13% chance that the legislation becomes law during 2026.

Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed rules supporting blockchain use within securities transactions. The development suggests regulatory adoption could progress even while Congress debates comprehensive market structure legislation.

Can XRP Price Hold $1.30 Support Level

XRP price slipped 1.38% to $1.3592 on September 1, extending its pullback from August’s recovery. The token moved below $1.38, which had supported prices during late August consolidation.

A sustained close below $1.34 could expose the $1.30 support level. Further weakness may open a decline toward $1.20 if broader risk appetite continues deteriorating.

The relative strength index stood at 39.56, placing momentum below neutral territory without entering oversold conditions. Meanwhile, the MACD line registered -0.0088, compared with its signal line near minus 0.0090.

A recovery above $1.38 could reopen the route toward $1.50, the first significant resistance area. A decisive break beyond $1.50 may bring $1.60 into focus, where stronger selling previously appeared.

XRP must reclaim $1.38 and defend that level before its short-term structure improves. The continued inflows into the ETFs will offer support, but reductions in Treasury yields will be key for a lasting recovery.
