XRP Maintains Fund Flow Through The Week

CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill recently shared the weekly flow data for the top cryptocurrencies. Although he highlighted strong inflow into Ethereum despite the ongoing dip, it appears that XRP also remained among the top coins to record influx.

The data showed that despite the ongoing volatility, Bitcoin recorded an inflow of $240 million and Ethereum recorded an influx of $740.6 million through February 6. On the other hand, Ripple’s native crypto recorded an influx of $11.2 million, outpacing Solana’s inflow of $3 million. Notably, on a YTD basis as well, Ripple’s native crypto recorded an inflow of $116 million, compared to SOL’s $29 million influx.

What’s Next For Ripple’s Native Crypto?

XRP price today continued its run towards the south witnessing a 1/5% decline to $2.41, while its trading volume soared 8% to $7.96 billion. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of the coin stayed at 32, indicating an oversold condition for the crypto. In other words, the RSI signals a potential breakout ahead for the crypto.

Meanwhile, another positive XRP news has further fueled market optimism recently. For context, CBOE has submitted 19b-4 filings to launch ETF for Ripple’s native crypto with the US SEC recently. Notably, the filing was made on behalf of 21 Shares, Bitwise, WisdomTree, and Canary Capital.

In addition, a lawyer has recently revealed a potential timeline of when the US SEC can start dropping the crypto cases. This has also sparked speculations over a potential dismissal or settlement in the Ripple Vs SEC case in 2025, which can further boost the asset’s price ahead.
