XRP spot ETFs recorded their first net outflows since April, ending a five-week streak as the token’s price slides toward the critical $1 support level.

U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded a net outflow of $5.34 million on June 3, marking the first negative day for the funds since April 30 and ending a five-week period of consistent inflows [1]. This shift in investor sentiment coincides with a broader market downturn that has pushed the price of XRP toward the $1 support zone [1].

**Key takeaways**
* U.S. spot XRP ETFs saw their first net outflow in five weeks on June 3, totaling $5.34 million [1].
* Cumulative net inflows for XRP ETFs reached $1.43 billion since their November 2025 launch, with $927.78 million in total net assets as of June 5 [1].
* Ripple released 1 billion XRP from escrow on June 1, adding potential supply to the market during a period of price volatility [1].
* Analysts previously projected a year-end "bear case" price range of $1 to $1.50 if the CLARITY Act failed to pass in the spring [2].

## Market Pressures and the $1 Support Test
The recent outflow streak broke during a period of significant macro pressure, as the total crypto market capitalization has fallen below $2.2 trillion [1]. On June 3, Bitwise’s XRP ETF led the outflows with $4.06 million, while Grayscale’s GXRP fund shed $699,000 [1]. Although Franklin’s XRPZ fund attracted $3.83 million on June 4, the overall momentum for the complex has stalled, with net flows hitting $0 on June 5 [1]. 

This cooling demand follows a period of high institutional activity earlier in the year. In mid-May, the ETF complex successfully absorbed a $154 million exit by Goldman Sachs, recording $60.5 million in new buying during the same week [1]. However, current market conditions differ from that period, as Bitcoin has declined 25.5% over the last 30 days and the Crypto Fear and Greed Index has entered "Extreme Fear" territory [1]. Additionally, Ripple’s scheduled monthly escrow release on June 1 injected 1 billion XRP into the market, with 200 to 400 million tokens potentially entering circulation [1].

## Why it matters
The $1 level is viewed by analysts as a critical psychological and technical floor, aligning with the Bollinger lower band on the monthly chart and previous panic lows from February [1]. Whether the ETF bid remains resilient at this price point will determine if the current decline is a temporary correction or a more significant structural break [1]. 

Future price performance remains tied to regulatory and institutional developments. While some institutional analysts have proposed long-term price targets as high as $20 by 2030, these forecasts depend on sustained institutional adoption and the potential passage of the CLARITY Act [2]. If the legislation remains stalled, the "bear case" scenario suggests the token could remain in the $1 to $1.50 range through the end of 2026, pushing more ambitious price targets further into the future [2].
