- XRP currency is about to drop to $1.00 USD:

Despite slight inflows into exchange-traded funds
The price of XRP still faces downward pressure, testing the support level of $1.12 on Friday.
XRP derivatives remain low at $2.64 billion, in line with a general risk-avoidance trend.
Minor cash inflows into spot ETFs have failed to improve XRP price outlook amid weak technical signals.

Ripple (XRP) continues its downward decline near the support level of $1.12 on Friday, reflecting strong headwinds in the broader cryptocurrency market largely attributed to macroeconomic pressures.

XRP Under Pressure Amid Outflows of Capital
Derivatives and institutional digital asset products are experiencing a decline in demand, reflecting ongoing risk aversion in crypto markets. The cryptocurrency market’s fear and greed index, which settled at 15 points in the extreme fear zone on Friday, confirms this cautious sentiment among investors.

Open interest in XRP futures contracts remained steady at $2.64 billion on Friday, slightly down from $2.66 billion the previous day. This contraction indicates continued risk aversion among market participants.

The persistent weakness in derivative demand confirms declining confidence in XRP’s near-term prospects. As a result, traders are increasingly closing their current positions instead of opening new buy positions, adding to the downside pressure on the asset.

Meanwhile, minor cash flows into XRP spot ETFs did not produce any bullish reversal. SoSoValue data shows total inflows of $2.55 million on Friday, after weak activity the previous day.

If headwinds persist and demand is overtaken, the ongoing bearish trend could accelerate losses toward recent lows at $1.05 and the psychological level of $XRP $1.00.
