Analyst Warns XRP Could Drop 55% Despite Strong ETF Performance

Whale investors have sold more than 40 million XRP in recent days, continuing a two-month selling trend that began in November when spot XRP exchange-traded funds launched in the U.S.

Large holders disposed of nearly 1.5 billion tokens in less than a month during the initial ETF launch period.

Why It Matters: ETF Strength

The five spot XRP ETFs have attracted $1.15 billion in net inflows since Nov. 13, outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana ETF counterparts, according to SoSoValue data.

No single trading day has recorded net outflows since the funds began trading.

Sustained or increasing inflows could provide support for XRP's price despite the ongoing whale selling pressure and declining network metrics.
