Why XRP is up 1.4% in the last hour
Analysis
XRP rose 1.4% over the past hour as sentiment was supported by reports of strong ETF-related demand, with Ripple/XRP-focused ETFs seeing their best week of inflows since May alongside XRP pushing to a multi-month high. This positive flow narrative (CryptoPotato) likely helped offset near-term bearish positioning highlighted by reports of a large XRP short opened by Wintermute (U.Today), allowing price to grind higher in the short timeframe.
