Overview
- XRP ETFs, which reached $1.44 billion in total inflows on Tuesday according to Yahoo Finance, now face an SEC final decision deadline on March 27 for filings from Grayscale, WisdomTree, and Franklin Templeton.
- XRP traded around $1.40 to $1.45 on Tuesday, with buyers defending $1.36 to $1.40 and traders watching for a close above $1.50 that could open room toward $1.60 to $2.00.
- Derivatives exposure has thinned out, with Binance open interest near $372.6 million at its lowest since 2024 and an estimated leverage ratio near 0.14 after broad liquidations reported by analysts.
- Short‑term on‑chain activity has cooled as active XRP Ledger addresses fell more than 40% in days and Binance whale outflows dropped to the lowest since early February, leaving more XRP on exchanges.
- Regulators recently classified XRP as a digital commodity, and any decision at Friday’s deadline could reshape who buys the funds and how much fresh money they attract.
