XRP down 19% versus Ethereum’s 30% drop; institutional ETF inflows favor XRP. See which dip is smaller and why it may recover first.

XRP’s price sits at $1.12, down 19.2% over the past 30 days, while Ethereum fell 29.5% to $1,616 – the deepest recent dip among the four major tokens, making XRP the smaller correction and the likely first rebound candidate as institutional flows shift toward it【1】.  

| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| XRP price | $1.12 |
| 30‑day change | –19.2% |
| Key catalyst | Senate CLARITY Act floor vote (pre‑August recess) |
| Institutional flow | $131.94 m ETF inflow in May, small June inflow |

## Price move and catalyst contrast  
Ethereum’s price slid from about $2,290 to $1,616, a 29.5% loss that dwarfs XRP’s 19.2% slide from its recent high of $1.12【1】. The larger drop gives XRP a smaller distance to climb back to its 30‑day level. On the catalyst side, XRP’s potential upside hinges on the CLARITY Act, which requires a Senate floor vote before the August recess, while Ethereum awaits the “Glamsterdam” network upgrade originally slated for June but now at risk of slipping into Q3【1】.  

## Institutional money flows  
ETF data show a stark rotation: Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $4.4 bn outflow over 13 days, and Ethereum ETFs lost $401 m over 17 days, both ending their streaks on June 4【1】. In contrast, Solana ETFs attracted $1.06 bn of inflows, and XRP ETFs pulled in a record $131.94 m in May, with only a modest $5.34 m outflow on June 3 breaking a five‑week inflow streak【1】. This net inflow advantage positions XRP to benefit from renewed capital as the broader market steadies.  

## Market‑cap perspective  
Despite the price dip, XRP’s market cap sits at $84 bn, far below Ethereum’s $256 bn, a gap that would require XRP to rise to roughly $4.15 to match Ethereum’s valuation—a level not yet reflected in price action【2】. XRP’s recent institutional partnerships (Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, Mastercard) have boosted its ecosystem but largely flow through the RLUSD stablecoin rather than the token itself, limiting immediate price impact【2】.  

## What to watch  
- **CLARITY Act vote:** Senate floor vote before the August recess could trigger a price rally if passed.  
- **Ethereum upgrade timing:** Confirmation of the Glamsterdam upgrade’s launch date (potential Q3) will affect ETH’s recovery prospects.  
- **ETF flow trends:** Continued net inflows into XRP ETFs versus outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs will signal shifting institutional sentiment.  

XRP’s smaller dip, combined with active ETF inflows and a near‑term regulatory catalyst, makes it the most poised for an early bounce, but the broader market’s direction—and whether Ethereum’s upgrade materializes—remain decisive factors.
