Price action continued to weaken despite expectations that the new spot product could attract institutional attention, raising questions about momentum in the short term. The decline followed renewed volatility across major digital assets and ongoing concerns about fund flows in the broader crypto ETF landscape.

The Conflict: XRP ETF’s Debut Against a $1.1 Billion ETF Outflow
The upcoming Franklin XRP ETF enters the market at a time when other spot crypto products are facing continued outflows.
According to VettaFi’s rankings, Franklin Templeton holds the No. 19 position among ETF issuers with $44.7 billion in assets under management. By comparison, Canary Capital, another issuer active in digital asset products, stands at No. 231 with $84.82 million in AUM.
Latest data shows that U.S. BTC-spot ETFs recorded $1.11 billion in net withdrawals during the reporting week ending November 14. Early tallies for Monday, November 17, pointed to another day of outflows. Analysts noted that similar trends in the days ahead could influence sentiment around XRP’s ETF debut and add pressure to broader market prices.
Crypto attorney Bill Morgan highlighted XRP’s retracement from July’s peak of $3.66, noting that the token has returned to levels seen before the resolution of SEC v. Ripple and before spot XRP ETF approvals. He noted that XRP has revisited price areas last recorded in mid-2025, despite major legal and corporate developments since that time.
