Bitwise Breaks XRP ETF Silence as Price Battles Critical 200-Week Average vs Bitcoin

On the crypto derivatives market, a rare anomaly has been recorded. While the XRP ETF sector has shown “zero” activity for the second consecutive day, a fund from Bitwise Asset Management alone delivered inflows of $2.42 million according to SoSoValue. This isolated spike in interest is occurring at a moment when the XRP/BTC chart has touched its fundamental boundary.

While giants like BlackRock and Fidelity Investments continue to vacuum up the Bitcoin market, spot BTC ETFs have closed their seventh consecutive day in the green, with yesterday’s inflows exceeding $85 million for select funds alone. In contrast, the Ripple ecosystem is experiencing a lull.

Lone bet on XRP’s survival

The only exception is Bitwise. Against a backdrop of absolute zeros among competitors, its XRP fund continues to methodically accumulate assets, ignoring the overall passivity of issuers. This may indicate a targeted entry by a large strategic investor that prefers XRP specifically through the Bitwise structure.

The intrigue is reinforced by XRP’s position on the chart against Bitcoin. Right now, the pair is trading around the 200-week moving average, a key indicator of the long-term trend. A move below this line could signal XRP’s capitulation against Bitcoin and a transition into a prolonged depression phase.

Holding this level amid inflows into the Bitwise ETF creates conditions for a spring-loaded rebound. Historically, XRP has often begun its most aggressive growth cycles precisely after touching long-term moving averages.

While the majority of capital remains focused on Bitcoin’s stable seven-day rally, select institutional players are accumulating XRP at a critical technical level. The next few trading sessions will determine whether the $2.4 million inflow becomes a precursor to a reversal or was an attempt to catch a falling knife.
