XRP was trading near $1.39 on Oct. 9, 2026, after slipping below its 50-day moving average, a widely watched trend indicator that smooths an asset's closing prices over roughly two months of trading. The slip below that gauge leaves the token's recent price path at odds with a frequently cited demand signal for the asset: fund flows, which have continued to build.
COINOTAG Update 23:49 UTC: ETF flows have kept running even as the price slid. The U.S. spot XRP ETF took in $8.17 million on Oct. 8, a twelfth straight day of net inflows, lifting cumulative net inflows to $1.81 billion — past the $1.59 billion accumulated by Solana's spot ETF. The crossover places the XRP fund ahead of its Solana counterpart on cumulative net inflows, the since-launch measure often referenced for these products.
The 50-day moving average is one of the most commonly referenced tools in technical analysis, used to gauge whether an asset is trading in a medium-term uptrend or downtrend. As a descriptive measure of past prices, it does not by itself determine where prices will move next.
Spot exchange-traded funds hold the underlying asset on behalf of shareholders, giving investors exposure through standard brokerage accounts without requiring them to custody tokens directly. Net inflows are recorded when creations outpace redemptions on a given trading day, and cumulative net inflows — the difference between money entering and leaving a fund since launch — are frequently cited as a gauge of demand for the product.
XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger, a payments-focused blockchain that went live in 2012 and is closely associated with Ripple. Solana, whose spot ETF has now been surpassed on cumulative inflows, is a smart-contract platform whose native asset, SOL, is among the most widely traded cryptocurrencies.
The next daily flow report will show whether the XRP fund's streak extends to a thirteenth session, while the token's standing relative to its 50-day moving average will be recalculated with each new closing price.
