XRP Perps Signal Strength as ETF Outflows Reveal a Split Market
XRP’s perpetual-futures sentiment has reached a one-year high even as exchange-traded funds record investor withdrawals.
XRP’s perpetual-futures sentiment has reached a one-year high even as exchange-traded funds record investor withdrawals. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹97.14 ($1.04), up 0.4% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by DailyCoin, with live market data added, as of Thu, 12 Nov 2026 21:00:01 UTC.
The divergence between positive derivatives positioning and ETF outflows shows that bullish conviction does not necessarily translate into sustained investment through regulated funds. It also puts XRP’s whale activity and the competing market signals in focus.
- XRP’s funding rate reached a one-year high, DailyCoin reports
- CryptoNews cites $72 million in whale accumulation
- ETF investors withdrew a reported $18 million
- XRP trades at $1.031 after a 16.30% weekly decline
XRP’s derivatives market is showing bullish sentiment despite weakness in the spot price and continued ETF outflows. DailyCoin reports that the funding rate for XRP perpetual futures has reached a one-year high, a signal that long positioning and optimism in derivatives have strengthened even as the asset’s broader market backdrop remains difficult.
ETF demand has moved in the opposite direction. CryptoNews reports that investors withdrew $18 million from XRP-related exchange-traded funds, describing the redemptions as continued pressure on the institutional-access channel. The combination creates a split picture: traders in perpetual contracts appear more constructive, while investors using ETFs are reducing exposure.
CryptoNews adds another layer by reporting $72 million worth of XRP accumulation by whales. That activity did not prevent a sharp weekly decline for the token, underscoring the difference between concentrated accumulation and broader market performance. DailyCoin does not cite the whale figure in its supplied summary, while CryptoNews gives no comparable one-year-high funding-rate detail.
The divergence is visible in XRP’s live market data. The token is priced at $1.031, down 2.64% over 24 hours and 16.30% over seven days, leaving its market capitalization at $65.49 billion. CryptoNews references a $10.11 price target from Dark Defender, but that is the outlet’s cited target rather than a confirmed outcome or independently validated forecast.
The wider market is also leaning defensive, with total crypto market capitalization at $2.46 trillion, 
Bitcoin down 3.78% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index at 28, within the “Fear” range. The neutral issue to watch is whether XRP’s elevated funding rate can coexist with continued ETF withdrawals and whale buying while spot prices remain under pressure; the supplied data shows conflicting positioning rather than a settled direction.
Since this brief published about 4 hours ago, XRP (XRP) has moved from ₹96.76$1.03 to ₹97.14$1.04 — +0.39%.
The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹103.05 (about $1.04), down 2.8% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
