XRP defended the $1.30 support level over the past 24 hours and has slightly rebounded to now trade at $1.32 on Friday. The token is trading around $1.32 after attempts to approach $1.40 failed. Bitcoin's decline below $82,000 and Ethereum's retreat toward $2,400 added to the cautious market backdrop. US-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded approximately $709,000 in net inflows on Wednesday, followed by another $3.55 million on Thursday, according to SoSoValue. The intake followed two consecutive sessions of muted activity. The modest buying provided limited support against broader selling pressure. More consistent inflows would offer stronger evidence that fund demand can help absorb supply. Cumulative net inflows remained positive at approximately $1.8 billion, while the products held around $1.
