XRP has recently experienced ETF / ETP inflows, yet its price has not shown a corresponding breakout. This article examines the real reasons behind the “inflows without price increase” by exploring five core variables: capital structure, regulatory outlook, on-chain applications, marketplace microstructure, and the macro environment.

Gate Research Daily Report: On April 10, Bitcoin remained in a wide trading range amid headline- and sentiment-driven noise, with price briefly returning toward the upper edge of its recent balance area; clearing higher resistance still likely requires a volume-backed breakout. Ethereum mostly tracked BTC, with a narrower range and uneven catch-up performance. Sentiment gauges still pointed to extreme fear, with only a partial recovery in risk appetite. Altcoins were dominated by structural rotation and thematic trading, so caution is warranted on leveraged products and thinly traded names that can see outsized swings. Among actively traded names, TNSR, CHILLGUY, and BLUR stood out on the day, mapping respectively to NFT infrastructure and the meme-sentiment complex.

Gate Research Daily Report: Over the past 24 hours, the crypto market has broadly strengthened.

SWARMS, JOE, and UNITAS all posted significant gains, driven respectively by the rising AI agent narrative, a rebound in the Avalanche ecosystem, and growing demand for stable payment solutions.

The U.S. FDIC has also proposed a new regulatory framework stating that stablecoins will not be eligible for deposit insurance.

Gate Research Weekly Report: BTC and ETH pulled back after a spike, shifting into a short-term bearish consolidation; ~$274M in liquidations over 24h with shorts dominant, while the Fear & Greed Index sits around 17, reflecting a defensive stance in capital flows. Amid broad altcoin weakness, privacy and DeFi outperformed, with RSC, STIK, and ARIA emerging as structural leaders. Total stablecoin market cap edged up to ~$315.4B, while Ethereum-based stablecoins hit a record ~$180B; gas fees remain low. MSBT saw ~$34M in inflows on day one, Strategy raised enough to buy over 2,500 BTC, and Canary filed for a PEPE ETF. Focus on U.S.–Iran developments, shifts in risk appetite, upcoming stablecoin regulation, as well as Pharos and GoSats funding and token unlocks including APT.
