XRPC ETF Shows Strong Inflows as XRP Slides on Fading Fed Rate-cut Bets

Published at 2025-11-14 03:03:25

XRP dipped Monday as traders scaled back bets on near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts, sending the wider crypto market into a red session. The pullback reflected a renewed risk-off tone: liquidity concerns and higher-for-longer rate expectations pressured risky assets, leaving XRP among the harder-hit mid-cap tokens.

Against that backdrop, the XRPC ETF enjoyed strong day-one inflows and notable trading volume, a positive signal that demand exists outside spot trading. That institutional and retail interest could provide structural support and set the stage for a rebound if flows remain steady, but investors should watch macro cues closely — persistent tightening or weaker liquidity would likely limit upside despite the ETF tailwind.
