Bitcoin und Ether machten laut Daten von CoinShares den größten Anteil aus, während Short-Bitcoin-Produkte Nettoabflüsse verzeichneten.
Altcoins update: XRP ETFs hit $1B in inflows; whales offload Ethereum
- XRP-linked ETFs have surpassed $1B in net inflows, defying broader market dips.
- Ethereum sees significant downward pressure amid whale exits.
- Broad markets remain deteriorated due to liquidity crunches.
Cryptocurrencies extended their weakness on Tuesday, with Bitcoin sliding toward $85K.
The value of all digital assets has declined by 3% over the past day to $2.96 trillion.
Sentiments are deteriorating daily due to thin liquidity, as even fundamentally healthy projects are failing to sustain prolonged upsides.
Amidst the gloomy outlook, investors are becoming more defensive, with institutional players reducing exposure as they rotate to narratives dominating the current landscape.
This divergence is visible in leading altcoins, XRP and Ethereum, in this case.
Let us explore further.
XRP spot ETF inflows hit $1B mark
Ripple’s token is recording a rare enterprise win amid broad market declines.
According to SoSoValue data, XRP-linked exchange-traded funds have hot $1 billion in cumulative inflows.
That marks a crucial milestone for a product that launched on November 13.
Notably, XRP ETFs have recorded consistent daily inflows since their debut.
The substantial inflows, within a short timeframe, indicate that expert investors are narrowing their focus and not exiting crypto altogether.
XRP’s compliant ETF structure makes it appealing for institutions seeking cryptocurrency exposure without handling operational risks or custody.
Most importantly, the inflows suggest a long-term positioning strategy, rather than chasing near-term price fluctuations.
Why is XRP standing out
XRP’s institutional attractiveness lies in its improved regulatory clarity and clear use cases.
Narratives matter the most during bearish sessions.
Indeed, traditional investors will justify a payment-focused blockchain ecosystem faster than highly speculative or experimental narratives.
Moreover, ETFs are crucial for enterprises looking to manage risk as they offer transparency, compliance, and liquidity.
These features are valuable during unstable markets and have helped XRP-related products absorb pressure as rivals endure outflows.
Meanwhile, XRP is trading at $1.92 after losing 7% the previous week.
ETH hit by large-scale selling
While the XRP community cheered staggering inflows, Ethereum is encountering immense selling pressure as large-scale holders reduce their exposure.
According to Lookonchain, BlackRock has deposited 47,463 ETH, valued at approximately $140 million, to Coinbase Prime.
Markets have interpreted the transaction as a preparation to sell.
At the same time, the Konstantin Lomashuk-linked wallet sold 14,585 tokens, worth roughly $42.71 million, today, when ETH changed hands at $2,928.
Also, Lookonchain revealed two whales that dumped Ethereum worth around $40.82 million, 14,000 tokens early today.
The magnitude and timing of these transfers have intensified bearish sentiments around the largest altcoin.
These transactions coincide with an already fragile market, amplifying downward momentum for ETH prices.
Ethereum is trading at $2,928 after losing 3% and 6% the past day and week.

Strategy kauft Bitcoin (BTC) im Wert von 1 Mrd. US-Dollar: MSTR-Aktie unter Druck
Das Unternehmen von Michael Saylor hat seinen Bitcoin-Bestand auf 671.268 BTC erhöht, nachdem es mehrere Wochen in Folge jeweils mehr als 10.000 BTC gekauft hatte.
SUI price forecast as bulls risk bearish flip below $1.40
- Sui price has dropped 6% in the past 24 hours as altcoins extend losses.
- Bitcoin’s downtrend means Sui could see new losses.
- A technical breakdown might bring the $1 support level into play.
Sui price hovers in the red as a 6% dip sees bulls battle to keep bears off the $1.40 support level.
At the time of writing, SUI changed hands at around $1.47, down as cryptocurrencies witnessed fresh sell-off pressure amid a broader market correction.
Aster and Telcoin are among the top losers in the past 24 hours.
SUI shows bearish bias amid crypto dump
The Sui token has declined 6% over the past 24 hours and sits more than 24% below its monthly peak, when it approached $1.77 in early December.
As with other altcoins, the downturn has coincided with a drop in open interest across derivatives markets and a rise in liquidations.
It’s indicative of waning confidence among leveraged positions, which makes the current pullback likely to morph into a prolonged correction.
For SUI, bulls have struggled since their advances were rejected around $4.45 in July 2025.
As Bitcoin trades in a downtrend around the $86,500 following its retreat from recent highs, altcoins, including Sui, have suffered a bearish cascade.
This broader market sell-off has amplified downside pressure on most layer-1 tokens, despite increased institutional interest across ETFs, tokenization and digital asset treasury initiatives.
CoinGecko has outlined Solana as the blockchain with the most market traffic share year-to-date.
However, as the platform’s data below shows, Base, Ethereum and Sui are the next top chains, ahead of BNB Chain, XRP Ledger, and Sonic.
Sui price forecast
Technical indicators currently point to heightened downside risks, with a potential breakdown threatening to accelerate selling pressure.
On daily charts, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 41. It’s approaching oversold territory and suggests momentum could weaken further if buyers fail to defend current levels.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows signs of an impending bearish crossover.
With the signal line likely to cross below the MACD line, this indicator reinforces a short-term negative momentum.
If SUI price fails to bounce above $1.40, bears could target $1.34 area and then $1.20.
A sustained breakdown might expose bulls to deeper retracements toward $1.
On the upside, a recovery above $1.50 could invalidate the immediate bearish thesis.
In this case, the key target will be resistance near $2.00. The 50-day exponential moving average at $1.87 provides the first hurdle.

Stellar Lumen price prediction: XLM retests the June low, eyes further dip
Key takeaways
- Stellar’s XLM is down 3.4% and is now trading around $0.22.
- Derivatives data signals a bearish positional buildup, with further downside expected in the near term.
XLM derivatives suggest further bearish price action
Stellar (XLM) is trading in the red zone for the seventh consecutive day, losing 3.4% of its value in the last 24 hours. The bearish performance comes as the broader cryptocurrency market is bleeding, with XLM now expected to retest the April low in the near term.
XLM’s derivatives data shows that the bearish trend could grow thicker. Data obtained from CoinGlass shows that XLM futures Open Interest (OI) is in a largely declining trend, at $118.43 million, down from $124.72 million recorded yesterday.
The declining OI suggests a decline in the notional value of XLM futures, with the total value of all active positions (long and short) currently on the decline.
With XLM declining, long liquidations over the last 24 hours totaled $406,740, outpacing short liquidations of $6,040. The long-to-short ratio chart shows that short positions increased to 53.37% today, up from 50.57% recorded on Monday.
XLM could decline below the $0.20 psychological level
The XLM/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and inefficient as Stellar has underperformed over the last seven days. The coin is currently trading at $0.222, retesting the June low of $0.217.
If the bearish trend continues, XLM could drop below the $0.2001 level marked by the April 7 low. An extended bearish trend could see the cross-border remittance token aim for the support at $0.1642, followed by the annual low of $0.1600.
Currently, the technical indicators are bearish, suggesting that sellers are in control. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 35, pointing toward the oversold zone. Furthermore, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is falling steeply after crossing below the signal line a few hours ago.
However, if the bulls regain control, XLM could flip the bearish narrative and retest the $0.2579 support-turned-resistance.
