- XRP reached an all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025 after its ETF launch and regulatory settlement but remains down nearly 50% from that peak.

Capital flowed against the crypto market’s dominant trends on February 19th, 2026, as spot exchange-traded funds for XRP and Solana (SOL) attracted new investor money. Data shows XRP ETFs saw $4.05 million in inflows, while SOL ETFs gathered $5.94 million. However, established ETFs for market leaders faced substantial withdrawals. Consequently, Bitcoin (BTC) funds lost $165.8 million and Ethereum (ETH) funds saw $130.1 million in outflows on the same day.
This divergent movement highlights the complex post-launch phase for newer crypto ETFs. XRP’s funds debuted late last year, following the settlement of the long-running SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit. The asset subsequently hit a historic high of $3.65 in July 2025. However, the ETF introduction coincided with a broader market downturn, limiting its immediate price impact.
Analysts note that ETFs have become a central part of the crypto ecosystem. Bitcoin and Ethereum previously climbed to record highs thanks to massive ETF inflows. Meanwhile, XRP’s comparatively modest inflows may reflect its later entry into a bearish market cycle. According to CoinGecko data, XRP’s price is currently up nearly 10% on 14-day charts. Nevertheless, it remains down 25.6% over the last month and 47.2% since February 2025.
Ultimately, XRP’s price is following the market-wide downtrend. It could see a more significant upswing once Bitcoin displays sustained positive price action again.
