XRP price pulled back on November 11 as the token cooled off after a recent rally. The price was $2.45, down from a weekly high of $2.57. This decline comes despite a positive development in the upcoming launch of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

XRP ETF Approval Likely to Boost Inflows

The approval of XRP ETFs is expected to attract large inflows. Nine XRP ETFs have already been listed on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas predicts that these ETFs could start trading as soon as Wednesday or Thursday.

The approval of XRP ETFs is considered bullish for the asset. The REX-Osprey XRP ETF has already seen over $120 million in assets. If other ETFs follow a similar trend, XRP could see substantial inflows, with JPMorgan analysts expecting $8 billion in the first year.

However, there is a possibility that XRP price could fall despite the ETF approval.

“The potential for a price drop remains, as the approval has likely been priced in,” said one market analyst.

Historically, prices have fallen after similar events, such as the SEC ending its lawsuit against Ripple.

Canary filed 8A for XRP ETF last night, which points to launch tomorrow or Thursday (today is holiday). Thursday was the day we thought they’d be on track for but when they did the 8A for HBAR they launched the next day. Not done deal but all boxes being checked.

XRP Price Could Retreat Due to ‘Sell the News’ Effect

A common trading strategy, “buy the rumor, sell the news,” may also affect XRP price. Traders may have already priced in the ETF approval and could sell once the event occurs. This scenario was observed with the recent launches of Solana ETFs, which saw a decline post-launch.

XRP price could experience a similar decline after the ETF launch. If this happens, the market could witness increased selling activity. This would align with the historical trend where major price rallies were followed by a retreat after important announcements.

Data shows that large investors, or whales, continue to sell XRP. Over 90 million XRP tokens were dumped in the last 24 hours. As more whales offload their holdings, it adds further downward pressure on the price.

The ongoing selling by whales raises concerns about the price outlook. Despite the ETF approval, these large sales could counteract the positive effects. As whales continue to reduce their positions, XRP price may face additional challenges.
