Strong ETF Demand Supports XRP, but Structural Limits Remain

Despite recent price weakness, institutional interest in XRP has shown signs of strength.
Earlier this month, US-based spot XRP ETFs surpassed $1 billion in assets under management, a milestone that CF Benchmarks CEO Sui Chung attributed to XRP’s long market history and familiarity among investors.
However, analysts caution that XRP still lacks a clear yield or staking mechanism, which may limit its competitiveness versus other assets. Until broader crypto conditions improve, XRP’s next major move may hinge on Bitcoin’s direction rather than XRP-specific fundamentals alone.
