XRP Price, $300M ETF Demand, and 45% Q3 Supply Overhang

XRP price rose more than 45% in Q3 as U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted about $307.9 million, yet the token entered October near $1.50 after repeated failures around $1.70. Cumulative ETF inflows approached $1.8 billion, but that buying has not established a higher clearing price.

The price response shows that fund demand has not yet been strong enough to clear the supply available as XRP rallies. Buyers can support the market while sellers continue to meet bids, leaving the price near $1.50 rather than forcing a break through resistance.

Seven-day altcoin inflow transactions to exchanges reportedly reached their highest level since October 2025, while CryptoQuant described the increase in deposits as broad rather than concentrated among a few large wallets.
