Expert Explains How a Small XRP Price Move Could Trigger Market volume Frenzy

XRP community pundit Chad Steingraber has identified how he believes XRP ETFs could “influence market dynamics.”

Notably, discussions across the XRP community have centered on newly launched XRP exchange-traded products, mainly because these funds have attracted substantial inflows in a very short time. Analysts believe these inflows will soon impact XRP’s price behavior.

XRP ETFs Seeing Early Success

For context, the conversation gained steam after Canary Capital introduced its XRPC fund on Nov. 13. Interestingly, the product drew strong interest immediately, having observed more than $306 million in net inflows within seven trading days.

Bitwise also launched its own XRP fund on Nov. 20, and it has gathered over $116 million in just two days. Together, these two products recorded $422 million in cumulative inflows. This has strengthened the speculation that institutional activity around XRP is picking up quickly.

Moreover, Grayscale plans to debut its XRP-focused product, GSOL, which could bolster the inflow momentum. With three major products attracting substantial capital influx in the same month, community members believe that these inflows will eventually show up in XRP’s price action.

Software engineer and long-time XRP advocate Chad Steingraber is one community figure who has persistently pushed this narrative. He has always maintained that these funds could increase liquidity and lead to XRP price spikes.

How XRP ETFs Could “Influence Market Dynamics”

To do that, he talked about XRP’s weekly price close and how a higher opening price could lead to FOMO among ETF participants. Specifically, XRP ended Friday’s trading session around $1.9490, when the traditional market closed for the week

Steingraber said that if XRP opened the following Monday at about $2.10, roughly twenty cents higher, ETF shares would immediately gain value because of the way they are structured. He noted that each fund assigns between ten and twenty XRP to each share. As a result, even a small increase in XRP’s opening price would produce a noticeable jump in the value of each share

He suggested that such a jump could trigger investor excitement and create a rush of ETF trading as fear of missing out spreads. According to him, repeated price lifts at the start of each week could eventually help these XRP ETFs “influence market dynamics,” since traders would react more aggressively to those early-week moves.

Notably, XRP did open the new week higher, although not at the level Steingraber described. The token began Monday at $2.04, which marked an increase of $0.091 from its Friday close. While the price did not reach the $2.10 mark, the higher opening could still lead to spikes in ETF shares at open.
