XRP Spot Activity Jumps 2,490% in Inflow Spike, What Changed?

The average investor still hasn’t reached a clear consensus on which crypto assets beyond the top two warrant serious attention, according to Anthony Bassili, president of Coinbase Asset Management.

“There’s a very, very clear view in the investor community in terms of the right first portfolio is Bitcoin. The next is Bitcoin, Ethereum,” Bassili said during an interview with Cointelegraph at The Bridge conference in New York City on Wednesday.

Bassili pointed out that Solana (SOL) is “maybe” the third asset on the radar. “The market is very unsure as to what’s the next asset they want to own after that,” he said, adding that after Solana, there is a “very wide gap” with XRP (XRP). 

Bassili says the fourth position is still up in the air

“We have to see the product market fit of the next network or the next application that will enter that fourth position,” he added.

Bassili said that despite XRP “doing a great job at execution,” investors need to see more network velocity. “So you actually need to see them being a part of the liquidity ecosystem,” he said.

Robert Kiyosaki is once again urging calm, saying he has no plans to sell his Bitcoin even as the market took a hard hit this week.

According to his public comments, the finance author believes the recent downturn has more to do with people needing quick cash than any real shift in Bitcoin’s long-term value. He said he’s waiting things out and will only act once the market settles.

Why Kiyosaki Feels No Rush To Sell

Kiyosaki says he can remain patient because he does not rely on selling assets to meet daily needs. His income from real estate and private investments keeps money flowing, which reduces the temptation to sell during stressful moments. “Bitcoin crashing? Am I selling? No, I am waiting!” he said on X.

Lessons From Earlier Mistakes

He has spoken openly about past blunders during downturns, saying he often panicked at the wrong time. Those errors, according to him, taught lessons that schools rarely teach, especially about dealing with financial fear and failure. He believes people learn better from their own mistakes than from classroom lectures.

Market Pressure After Tech Weakness

Bitcoin’s price slipped to the $95,000 region, a level not seen in six months. Reports have disclosed that the coin fell 10% over the week after a steep slump in AI-related and tech stocks pushed many investors away from riskier trades.

The sudden pullback hit crypto quickly, raising questions about whether this was a short-term shock or something deeper. Liquidations Under 2% Of Open Interest

Nearly $900 million in Bitcoin long positions were closed out during the fall. Even so, analysts say the liquidations made up less than 2% of total open interest, which helped prevent the kind of heavy spillover that marked the October 10 sell-off. This time, the pressure was strong but didn’t spiral into a wider breakdown.

According to Coinglass, in the past 24 hours , 92,658 traders have liquidated their positions, which total around $149.65 million. Buying More Once The Market Settles

Kiyosaki plans to add more Bitcoin when conditions improve. He keeps pointing to the fixed 21 million supply as one of the reasons he expects long-term strength. He also encourages people who own his Cashflow board game to form small learning groups, saying these groups help people stay confident when markets shake.Cooling Market, Not A Full Breakdown

Based on reports, the broader market is calming after the past week’s losses. Traders say the selling appears tied to people needing liquidity rather than a loss of belief in crypto.

Liquidity stresses can make prices drop quickly, but they can also reverse once buyers step back in. For now, the numbers — an 10% weekly slide and about $900 million in liquidations — show pressure, but not widespread panic.

The launch of the first XRP spot ETF on Nasdaq created major excitement, but instead of rising, XRP dropped around 8%, surprising investors who expected an instant rally. New data shows that while the inflows were impressive for day one, the amount was still too small to move a $138B market cap asset like XRP.

$245M Inflows Were Not Enough To Lift Price

The first ETF recorded approximately $245M in inflows and almost $60M in trading volume on launch day. While this set a record for a new XRP product, it represents under 1% of XRP’s total market value.

This means the inflows were not powerful enough to create demand pressure, so the price fell nearly 8% as traders took profit and hype cooled.

ETF Buying Did Not Hit Public Order Books

Many assumed that ETF inflows would instantly remove XRP from exchanges. However, current structure shows ETF inflows do not always equal direct spot buying, which means they do not instantly push price up.

Analysts estimate that for a meaningful price breakout, XRP may need 10x to 15x larger inflows, equal to $3B to $5B in a single day.

Liquidity Levels Show Why Price Did Not Move

Data from major exchanges shows approximately 2.4B XRP tokens are liquid and ready for trading, equal to about $5B in value.OTC desks reportedly hold an additional $5B to $12B in deep liquidity.

Large institutions buying at OTC desks typically pay a 5% to 15% premium to avoid pushing the price higher on spot markets. While this is positive for long-term supply reduction, it does not impact exchange price immediately.

What XRP Needs To Break Out

Technical analysis shows a bullish divergence forming on the RSI, which can mean a potential trend reversal. However, for a confirmed breakout, analysts are watching for daily closes above $2.68. To reach that level, strong new demand from multiple ETFs launching together may be required.

Experts believe that at least $1 to $3 billion in inflows in a single day could begin to push XRP upward by 40 to 50 cents, while $5 billion or more may produce a clear rally.
