XRP stays close to $1 as futures trading towers over ETF inflows

NEW YORK, June 26, 2026, 13:08 EDT

  • XRP hovered close to $1.045, having reached $1.011 earlier in the session. The token was up roughly 1.5% in the last 24 hours, but down 7.39% on the week. coinglass
  • XRP spot ETFs in the U.S. saw net inflows of $2.05 million on June 24. That looks minor compared to $2.76 billion in XRP futures volume over 24 hours. Binance
  • XRP logged just $4,262 in network fees in 24 hours, according to CoinGecko, a small number for a token with about $65 billion in market cap. CoinGecko

XRP traded barely above $1 on Friday as recent selling saw the Ripple-linked token slide into the zone bulls thought the U.S. ETF bid might hold. Price was last at $1.045 around 13:08 EDT. XRP touched a low of $1.011 earlier, session high at $1.05.

XRP spot ETFs pulled in $2.05 million in net inflows on June 24, according to Sosovalue data. But that’s small compared to broader volumes—CoinGlass showed $678.4 million of spot volume and $2.76 billion in futures for XRP in the same 24-hour window. ETF inflows made up about 0.3% of spot turnover and just 0.07% of futures turnover. ETF demand is there, but how big it is remains the open question for investors. Binance

XRP has missed out even as ETFs posted gains. The token dropped 7.39% over seven days, CoinGlass data showed, with open interest at $2.34 billion. In the past 24 hours, the futures market for XRP was about four times bigger than spot. coinglass

GXRP ETF pulls in cash again. Binance News, using SoSoValue numbers, reported a $2.05 million net inflow for Grayscale XRP Trust ETF (GXRP) on June 24, bringing total net inflows to $131 million for GXRP. SoSoValue’s data put total XRP spot ETF net asset value at $928 million with $1.45 billion in total historical inflows. Binance

Franklin Resources Inc is showing how traditional funds are giving new access to XRP. Its Franklin XRP ETF (XRPZ) page states the fund aims to track the price of XRP before costs. The ETF has an inception date of Nov. 24, 2025 and trades on NYSE Arca. United States

ETF demand isn’t equal to how much a network gets used. CoinGecko put XRP’s 24-hour trading volume at roughly $2.52 billion, with a market cap of around $65.1 billion. The same page listed only $4,262 in 24-hour fees, and project revenue stood at $455. CoinGecko

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan told DL News earlier this year that XRP ETF inflows were “exceeding my expectations,” but he added that XRP was still “figuring out its product-market fit.” Brian Huang, Glider’s co-founder, pushed back. “Without builders, expect minimal growth for XRP,” he said. DL News

SEC, CFTC ask for comment on cross-margining. Regulators moved again Friday, with the SEC and CFTC opening a comment period on portfolio margining for securities, security-based swaps, futures, swaps, and related assets. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins called cross-margining a way to “unlock liquidity.” That could hit XRP, as fund, futures and collateral rules are now more tied to price than to the token’s fee base. SEC

XRP bulls need to see the price hold above the $1.011 intraday low to keep the rebound in play. ETF inflows would need to clear more than the $2.05 million print from June 24 to signal stronger demand. For now, action around $1 is still shaped by leveraged positions more than spot ETF buying.
