As a researcher tracking digital asset investment, I’ve observed a shift in the market recently. Last week, XRP spot ETFs experienced a net outflow of funds, which is a change from the previous three weeks where we saw consistent inflows. This suggests that institutional interest in XRP may be starting to cool down.

As I’ve been monitoring Binance, I’ve noticed a concerning trend: liquidity for XRP has significantly decreased. In fact, our 30-day liquidity index for XRP recently hit a five-year low, indicating a real tightening of available funds on the exchange.

Institutional Demand for XRP Cools After April Surge

Looking at the data from SoSoValue, I’m seeing around $35,210 flowed *out* of XRP ETFs last week, specifically in the week ending May 1st. This is a notable shift, as we’d been consistently seeing inflows – meaning people were buying – prior to this.

XRP ETFs saw a total of $82.88 million in investments over the past three weeks, with a significant $55.39 million coming in during the week of April 17th. This represents the largest weekly increase since mid-January.

While total investments received have reached $1.29 billion, the value of assets under management decreased to $1.06 billion this week.

XRP Liquidity Index Hits 2020 Low on Binance

An analyst recently noted that XRP’s liquidity has dropped to its lowest level since 2020, reaching just 0.038. This decrease suggests there’s a significant lack of buying and selling interest in the market, indicating a weakness in its overall depth.

With markets like this, even a small increase in investment can cause prices to quickly rise or fall. Despite this, the analyst noted that prices haven’t actually changed much recently.

This is usually a temporary period where prices haven’t fully adjusted to decreasing market activity, or it’s a pause before a more significant price change.

According to Arab Chain, the falling liquidity index could suggest that major investors are slowly pulling out of the market or that institutional trading is slowing down, which could make the market even more unstable.

Right now, XRP is vulnerable to big price swings in either direction. A small increase in buying could cause the price to jump quickly, especially with limited trading activity. However, if demand stays low, there’s a risk the price could fall significantly.
