XRP Price: Three Major ETF Launches Drive Whale Accumulation to Four-Month High
TLDR
Franklin Templeton will launch its XRP ETF (EZRP) on November 18, 2025, on the CBOE exchange
Canary Capital’s XRP ETF (XRPC) recorded $58 million in first-day trading volume, making it the biggest ETF debut of 2025
Bitwise plans to launch its own XRP ETF on November 20, just two days after Franklin Templeton’s debut
XRP whale activity reached a four-month high with 716 transactions exceeding $1 million and $768 million accumulated over four days
XRP is currently trading at $2.24 with a market cap of $135.33 billion and technical indicators showing potential for upward movement
XRP is preparing for a busy week as three major ETF launches bring new attention to the cryptocurrency. Franklin Templeton will launch its XRP ETF on November 18, followed by Bitwise on November 20.
The activity follows Canary Capital’s record-breaking debut last week. Their XRP ETF, trading under the ticker XRPC, saw $58 million in volume on its first day. This made it the biggest ETF debut of 2025.
Franklin Templeton’s fund will trade under the ticker EZRP on the CBOE exchange. The firm recently submitted an updated S-1 filing with simpler registration language. This suggests they are moving quickly through the regulatory approval process.
Analysts expect EZRP could compete with Canary’s XRPC in performance. Investors typically prefer funds from well-known firms like Franklin Templeton. This could give EZRP an advantage in attracting early investment.
BlackRock’s BTC ETF did $111.7M on day 1… and then Canary’s XRP ETF walked in with $245M and shattered the narrative. Double the inflow. Less supply. More demand. $XRP just embarrassed the kingmaker—and they know it. https://t.co/rgYPdWKtcE

Bitwise has already launched a successful Solana ETF last month. Their XRP fund is expected to attract hedge funds, family offices, and institutional players who understand crypto markets.
Whale Activity Reaches New Heights
Recent data shows XRP whale activity has surged to levels not seen in four months. According to Santiment data, there were 716 XRP transactions exceeding $1 million each. This activity coincided with the price stabilizing around $2.20.

The whale activity comes as XRP trades at $2.24, down 1.61% over the past 24 hours. Market capitalization stands at $135.33 billion, while trading volume has declined to $3.26 billion. This represents a 56.5% drop from previous periods.
Technical Indicators Point to Possible Rebound
Technical analysis shows XRP testing support around $2.43 within a descending channel. The price recently pulled back from resistance at $2.55.
A TD Buy signal appeared on the XRP chart this week. This indicator often suggests potential for upward movement. The blue moving average remains above the red, indicating continuation of an upward trend.
The MACD indicator sits above zero, showing stronger buyer momentum. Price rebounded from the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, a common zone for trend reversals.
If the weekly candle closes above the green support zone, XRP could move toward $2.52. Potential resistance levels sit at $3.66, $4.12, and $4.71 based on Fibonacci extensions.
Crypto expert EGRAG Crypto noted that XRP’s 15% drop since the first ETF launch is not unusual. Bitcoin fell 20% after its own ETF launch. The current price action may be healthier than what Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced during similar moments.
#XRP has seen a 15% decline since the launch of the first #ETF. While, #BTC experienced a drop of around 20% on its #ETF launch date.
If we follow the same trend, #XRP could drop an additional 5% to match #BTC‘s performance. Additionally, compared to #ETH, which dropped 40%… https://t.co/oSnZ1e7lEX

Javon Marks pointed out that XRP printed a 6X move when the market doubted it last cycle. Ripple Bull Winkle noted that BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF saw $111.7 million in initial volume while Canary’s XRP ETF doubled that at $245 million.
The combination of three ETF launches in one week, increased whale accumulation, and technical buy signals has made XRP one of the most watched cryptocurrencies this week. Trading volume data shows 489,000 holders with a circulating supply of 99.98 billion out of 100 billion XRP tokens.
