XRP price faces a sell-off after failing to rally above a crucial supply wall, while institutional investors show increased interest, with ETF inflows surpassing $21 billion. Wall Street's growing crypto asset allocation could make XRP a potential next big winner.

Last weekend, the cryptocurrency market was hit by geopolitical news. The US-Iran negotiations in Islamabad dragged on for 21 hours without any results, and investors, seeing this situation, started to sell off. Major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple all declined together. I checked the market at that time, and Bitcoin dropped to around $70,600, with Ethereum also falling quite a bit. However, the past couple of days, the market has rebounded somewhat. Bitcoin is now a little over $76k, Ethereum has returned to $2.28k, and Ripple and Solana have also recovered. It seems the market’s panic has gradually been digested. The key point is, I noticed an interesting signal — institutional fund flows are actually still quite good. Last week, the spot Bitcoin ETF saw nearly $800 million in net inflows in a single week, the strongest since February. The newly launched ETFs, although small in scale, have also attracted quite a bit of capital. What does this indicate? Although short-term cryptocurrency volatility looks pretty scary, from an institutional perspective, the fundamentals are still stable. As long as ETF funds continue to flow in and Bitcoin can hold steady in the $70,500–$71,000 range, there’s still a chance to push higher to $72,000–$73,000. Geopolitical risks will eventually pass, but the long-term optimistic attitude of institutions seems unchanged.
