XRP News: ETFs End 6-Day Inflow Streak as Analyst Flags 4-Year Cycle Correlation

Key Insights:

• XRP News reports that XRP ETFs recorded net daily outflows of $6.15 million, ending six days of consecutive inflows.
• Large whales hold a total of 19.61 billion XRP, representing 32% of XRP’s circulating supply.
• XRP price is trading around $1.40, aligning with the cautious outlook from analyst EGRAG CRYPTO.

XRP ETF investors are showing reduced confidence in the Ripple-backed coin, as the latest XRP news confirms. Their action is perceived in the recent outflows registered by the spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The pessimistic sentiment in the spot XRP ETFs comes as market analyst EGRAG CRYPTO highlighted a 4-year cycle correlation on the price charts.

XRP ETF Products End 6-Day Inflow Streak

After six consecutive days of recording inflows, the XRP news that ETFs saw outflows. According to SoSoValue data, the ETFs saw total daily net outflows of $6.15 million on Thursday, March 5, 2025.

Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ fund led the bulk of the outflows on this day. The remaining funds, including XRP from Bitwise, Canary’s XRPC, 21Shares’ TOXR, and Grayscale’s GXRP, all registered zero net daily inflows.

Recent flow history shows XRP spot ETFs had a 6-day streak of consecutive positive net inflows between late Feb and early Mar.

For instance, funds tracking the asset absorbed $7.53 million on Tuesday. The session marked the fifth consecutive day of positive flows into these vehicles. Sustained capital movement pushed cumulative inflows toward $1.25 billion.

The 6-day run was supportive during a broader crypto downturn. It absorbed selling pressure and helped stabilize the XRP price around $1.40. Thus, a pause in momentum signals profit-taking and rotation elsewhere, possibly to Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH).

However, the XRP news suggests that the overall 2026 inflows remain positive. XRP ETFs are gaining traction as the altcoin leader in ETF adoption.

Large XRP Whale Accumulation

Surprisingly, large XRP whales continued to accumulate despite the recent bearish phase in the market.

Since the October 10 sell-off, which wiped out nearly $20 billion in leveraged bets, cautious sentiment has remained in the crypto market. Several cryptocurrencies, including XRP, broke through multiple key support levels as they headed lower.

As per the recent XRP news, the altcoin has declined over 50% from a high of $2.28 in October 2025 to $1.4. Despite this price drop, on-chain data highlights XRP’s large holders as resilient. According to Santiment, large XRP whales, wallets holding 10 million to 1 billion XRP, have quietly been accumulating over the last six months.

Notably, these whales have accumulated over 4.18 billion XRP since the October 10 crash. Their total holdings now stand at 19.61 billion XRP, representing 32% of XRP’s circulating supply.

It also marks the largest combined balance in history, signaling strong conviction from big holders. Wallets with 10 million to 100 million XRP contributed the most, adding 2.88 billion XRP in six months.

Heavy accumulation by large whales during prolonged weakness often precedes recoveries. As such, XRP news analysts are now expecting a rally for XRP price in the short term.

Analyst Flags 4-Year XRP Price Cycle Correlation

Besides the XRP ETF shift, analyst EGRAG Crypto has tempered enthusiasm with strict, data-driven technical conditions. In an X post, the analyst emphasized he is extremely bullish on the future of the Ripple-backed.

However, the analyst said he would not chase pumps without confirmation in the current market cycle.

He, therefore, set the weekly candle close above $2.20. The analyst sees the XRP price level as a major resistance from prior highs or Fibonacci extensions in his charts.

According to EGRAG, every pump risks being sell-side liquidity until the weekly close above $2.20. He added that the price is still inside the Yellow Box phase, based on a 4-year historical pattern. It represents a multi-year sideways range where price chops around, building liquidity before a major breakout.

EGRAG further noted that 4-Year Cycle analysts have been more accurate during consolidation periods like now. He, however, dismissed Real Vision founder Raoul Pal for continuing to push the Liquidity Cycle theory.
