Editor’s note: the headline has been updated to correctly reflect ETF inflows for XRP.

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is down 2.5% on Tuesday as spot ETFs logged $4.13 million in inflows, even as outflows continued for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) ETFs on Monday.

XRP ETFs Stay Green While Bitcoin Bleeds Billions

Spot ETFs have posted consistent daily inflows throughout May despite price weakness, with cumulative inflows now at $1.43 billion and net assets holding at $1.11 billion. 

The steady green bars contrast sharply with four consecutive weeks of Bitcoin ETF outflows totaling over $4 billion. 

Institutional conviction in XRP remains intact even as the token tests critical chart support.

Ripple Expands RLUSD Into Turkey Through Three New Partners

Separately, Ripple announced Tuesday that its USD-backed stablecoin RLUSD is now available in Turkey through partnerships with BiLira, Bitexen, and Bitlo. 

Turkey processes nearly $200 billion in annual crypto transaction volume, making it the dominant crypto market in the MENA region and nearly four times larger than regional peers according to Chainalysis 2025 data.

RLUSD has reached $1.7 billion in market capitalization since launching in late 2024. Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoins at Ripple, said Turkey sits at the crossroads of traditional finance and the digital economy, with one of the world’s highest crypto adoption rates. 

The country’s Capital Markets Board introduced a comprehensive licensing framework in 2024, giving global players like Ripple the legal certainty to integrate with local partners.

Beyond the three Turkish exchanges, RLUSD is also available through Binance, Kraken, Gemini, OKX, Bitstamp, and others globally. 

Ripple also announced Istanbul Technical University as a new partner in its University Blockchain Research Initiative, funded via RLUSD, with an XRP Ledger validator being set up directly on campus.

XRP Price Prediction: Key Levels To Watch Out

XRP presses directly onto the lower Bollinger Band at $1.2557, the last technical buffer before the demand zone at $1.20 to $1.25. 

The long-term descending trendline from August 2025’s $3.80 peak remains intact with SAR at $1.3643 and BB mid at $1.3554 sitting overhead as resistance.

A daily close below $1.2557 opens a test of the $1.20 demand zone and then the February lows near $1.10. 

A bullish reversal requires the BB lower to hold and price to break above the descending trendline with ETF inflows accelerating, targeting $1.45 to $1.55.
