Bitcoin and XRP are the only ETFs in green – $32M inflows as whale activity surges

Bitcoin and XRP were the only crypto ETFs to attract fresh capital, while large-value transactions continued climbing.

Bitcoin and XRP are the only ETFs in green - $32M inflows as whale activity surges

Institutional investors appear to be getting choosier, and Bitcoin and XRP seem to be reaping the benefits the most.

According to recent data on ETF flow, Bitcoin saw net inflows of $32 million, while XRP managed to see a further $585K worth of inflows. The two were the only crypto ETFs with positive flows for the day.

The renewed demand arrives as both assets continue trading near important technical levels, raising the question of whether institutional buying can extend the latest recovery.

Big-money activity is picking up

ETF flows are just one indicator that may be signaling growing institutional involvement.

AMBCrypto’s analysis on BTC’s on-chain whale activity data revealed that the number of trades over $100K  in volume has been increasing substantially in recent trading periods, indicating growing activity from large traders.

That trend often carries more weight than retail-driven rallies because it reflects sustained capital deployment rather than short-term speculation.

Surprisingly enough, the coefficient of correlation between Bitcoin and XRP is equal to 0.30.

Although there is no high correlation between the two digital currencies, it is evident that both of them react to the same market drivers. In particular, it seems that institutional investments are beneficial for both tokens.

Can Bitcoin reclaim $65K?

On the daily chart, Bitcoin’s price action is beginning to reflect the improving fundamentals.

Bitcoin has continued building some momentum toward the $65,000 resistance zone, an area that has repeatedly attracted selling pressure in previous sessions and initiated two rejections over the last month.

If ETF inflows remain positive while whale-sized transactions continue increasing, buyers may have a stronger foundation for another attempt at that level.

Meanwhile, XRP could also benefit from improving institutional sentiment, particularly as investors continue looking beyond Bitcoin for regulated crypto exposure.

On its daily chart, XRP price action is now testing a key ascending trendline resistance at around $1.09.

Can institutional demand spur bulls?

Institutional demand alone does not guarantee higher prices. But with both token’s Stochastic RSI now bouncing off from an oversold region, their current bullish advancements could be prolonged.

For BTC, with ETF inflows recording significant gains, large on-chain transactions, and its technical structure still being optimistic, the anticipated breakout could be on the cards.

The coming sessions will reveal whether the latest wave of institutional buying is enough to push Bitcoin beyond $65,000 and help XRP extend its own recovery.


Final Summary

  • Bitcoin and XRP were the only crypto ETFs to post positive inflows, attracting $32 million and $585,000, respectively.
  • Large on-chain transactions above $100K have continued to rise, reinforcing the view that institutional investors are becoming more active.
