Solana (SOL) is holding just above the key $130 support level, where bulls are trying to stabilize the price. While institutional inflows via spot ETFs and major technical upgrades continue to provide long-term optimism, recent token unlocks and weak price structure are fueling downward pressure.
SOL is trading between $125 and $150, with critical support in the $125–$130 zone and first resistance at $140–$145. Since October 2024, the token has lost more than 40% from its highs near $200.

ETF Inflows Remain Strong, But Sentiment Is Cautious
Despite the price correction, Solana remains one of the most favored altcoins among institutional investors. In 2025 alone, spot ETFs tracking SOL have absorbed over $600 million in net inflows, while some Bitcoin and Ethereum products have seen outflows.
These ETFs create structural demand that could help drive a short squeeze, if key technical levels are broken to the upside.

Technical Outlook: Key Levels in Focus
The chart shows a persistent downtrend since November, with repeated rejections near $180. Now, the price is hovering just above dense support at $125–$130, awaiting a catalyst.
🔹 Bullish case: If $125–$130 holds, a move toward $140–$145 is possible, with a breakout opening the door to $155.
🔹 Bearish case: A decisive close below $125 would confirm further downside toward $115–$120, continuing the downward momentum.

Fundamentals Remain Strong Long-Term
Despite short-term fragility, the Solana ecosystem continues to strengthen. Major infrastructure upgrades like Firedancer and Alpenglow are scheduled for 2025–2026. These are aimed at improving throughput, latency, and reliability — addressing historical outages and making the network ready for institutional use.
At the same time, Solana is seeing growing adoption in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, emphasizing its long-term potential. However, short-term sentiment remains cautious due to macroeconomic risks and ongoing token unlocks, which continue to weigh on the market.

According to recent analyses, Bitcoin (BTC) is under pressure not just from a drop in price but from broader structural headwinds that are sapping demand and liquidity in the market.
Key factors behind the slump:
Institutional interest is cooling: Spot‑Bitcoin ETFs have seen sustained outflows, rather than inflows, undermining what had been a major source of capital for BTC.
Liquidity and macro pressures: Global monetary tightening, shifting central‑bank policies and rising interest rates are weighing on risk assets and crypto is no exception.
Structural exhaustion: Analysts argue that demand is simply “tapped out” at current price levels many long‑term holders are realizing gains, creating a persistent supply overhang.
For now, Bitcoin’s ability to recover hinges on fresh catalysts new institutional money, macroeconomic stability, or renewed investor confidence. Until then, the structural weaknesses may continue to keep demand muted.

XRP spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen strong capital inflows in early December, highlighting a surge in institutional demand for the token. According to recent data, U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded another $67.74 million of net new investment, pushing cumulative assets under management (AUM) very close to the $1 billion milestone.
These funds have now logged 13+ consecutive days of net inflows since launching last month a streak that has outpaced many Bitcoin- and Ethereum-based funds in their early days.
For investors and the broader crypto market, this trend may signal growing confidence in XRP as a mainstream crypto asset. With inflows mounting, liquidity improving, and institutional participation rising, many are watching to see if this momentum could translate into renewed price action and broader adoption.

XRP has a new reason to celebrate. Spot-based ETFs linked to this cryptocurrency have just surpassed $1 billion in assets under management, making XRP the fastest-growing crypto ETF in the U.S. since Ethereum made its debut.
Leading asset managers like Canary, Grayscale, Bitwise, and Franklin are driving this growth, bringing in consistent institutional capital. While sentiment on the broader spot market remains mixed, demand for regulated XRP exposure is rising steadily.

Garlinghouse: “This is just the tip of the iceberg”
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse described the surge as a clear sign of a major shift in how investors view crypto. According to him, more than 40 crypto ETFs have been launched in the U.S. this year alone, highlighting the pent-up demand for regulated digital asset products.
He specifically praised Vanguard’s decision to allow access to crypto ETFs via retirement and brokerage accounts, opening the door for millions of Americans to invest in digital assets without needing deep technical expertise.
“People don’t want to deal with wallets or private keys – they want a simple, trusted, long-term investment vehicle. And that’s exactly what XRP ETFs provide,” Garlinghouse stated on social media.

XRP Supply on Exchanges Shrinks. Is a Supply Shock Coming?
As institutional interest rises sharply, the available XRP supply on exchanges continues to shrink. ETF issuers are buying large quantities to meet demand, gradually draining liquidity from the market.
XRP has been hovering near the $2 level in recent sessions, and analysts warn that continued buying pressure could trigger a supply shock, causing the price to surge due to limited availability.

One-Minute Recap:
🔹 XRP ETFs surpass $1 billion in assets under management

🔹 Fastest growth among crypto ETFs since Ethereum

🔹 Brad Garlinghouse sees a new wave of non-technical investors

🔹 Vanguard opens crypto ETF access via retirement accounts

🔹 Shrinking supply could trigger a strong upward price move

Hey, crypto community! While everyone is discussing Bitcoin ETFs, a development is brewing on the horizon that could flip the altcoin market. The black giant of traditional finance, BlackRock, has just filed an application with the SEC for the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust. This isn't just another spot ETF — it's a product that would allow investors to earn not only from ETH's price appreciation but also from staking rewards. Let's break down why this could be the biggest news at the end of the year.
What Happened?
BlackRock, managing $11 trillion in assets, decided not to upgrade its existing iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) but to launch a fundamentally new product from scratch. According to the S-1 document, the fund plans to stake between 70% and 90% of its Ethereum assets. Coinbase Custody will act as the custodian, with Anchorage Digital as an alternative custodian for risk diversification. Essentially, this is an exchange-traded fund that will generate passive income in ETH for its holders.
Why Is This Possible Now? The Key is a Regulatory Shift.
Previously, under Gary Gensler's leadership, the SEC strictly blocked any mention of staking in applications, viewing it as unauthorized securities activity. However, with the arrival of the new Chairman Paul Atkins in April 2025, the rhetoric changed.
In May, the SEC issued a crucial clarification stating that "certain protocol activities" (read: staking) do not themselves constitute securities offerings. This opened the floodgates: after Grayscale was the first to add staking to its fund, VanEck and now BlackRock have filed applications. The decision on VanEck is still pending, and everyone is watching to see if the SEC will give the green light to this new model.
Features and Differences from Competitors
BlackRock chose a model that could appeal to large institutional investors:
Quarterly Distributions: The fund will distribute staking income to shareholders in cash (in USD) at least quarterly. This creates predictable cash flow.Contrast with Grayscale: Grayscale offers two paths: its Ethereum Trust (ETHE) also distributes income, while its Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) reinvests it, creating a compounding effect. BlackRock's choice of a dividend model is a deliberate bet on investors who value regular income.Security and Delegation: BlackRock itself will not handle validation. This is delegated to professional node operators through the custodian, reducing operational risk for the fund. The estimated annual yield is around 3-5%.
What Does This Mean for the Market?
Massive Capital Inflow: Approval of such an ETF from BlackRock could open the floodgates for trillions of dollars in institutional money that previously hesitated to stake ETH directly due to regulatory and operational complexities.Pressure on the SEC: BlackRock's application is a powerful signal to the regulator. It's a test of the new rules of the game under Atkins' leadership.ETH Market Shortage: If the fund starts buying and staking hundreds of thousands of ETH, it will create additional scarcity of liquid supply on the market, which is a long-term bullish factor.Legitimization of Staking: The SEC could essentially give legal status to Ethereum's yield model, strengthening the entire ecosystem's position.
Discussion Question
What do you think: Will the SEC ultimately approve BlackRock's staking-enabled Ethereum ETF, and could this become the trigger for a new altcoin rally in 2026? Share your predictions in the comments!

The post Exclusive: Expert Says Double-Digit XRP Price ‘Unrealistic’ as ETFs Hit $1 Billion appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
XRP exchange-traded funds have gathered more than $1 billion in assets only a couple of weeks after going live, a pace that many in the market say is unusually fast for new financial products. Five issuers — Bitwise, Canary, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale and Rex Osprey — launched their funds in staggered phases and still managed to pull in strong inflows within just 11 to 12 trading days. At today’s prices, the ETFs now hold about 473 million XRP, locked inside these investment vehicles.
Despite the size of the inflows, the story has barely made its way to everyday investors. Some experts say this shows how unaware most people still are of crypto ETFs, even as Wall Street moves quickly to adopt them. 
Others say interest could grow if regulatory clarity improves in the U.S., especially now that Ripple’s legal dispute has ended and new policy proposals like the Clarity Act are gaining attention.
Strong ETF Demand Meets Weak Price
Even with the rapid growth of these funds, XRP’s price has struggled. The token is fighting to stay above $2.03, with sellers consistently pushing it lower. 
In an interview with Coinpedia, Nischal Shetty, Co-founder of Shardeum, said that expecting XRP to reach double-digit levels based only on ETF demand is unrealistic. He explained that early flows into new crypto ETFs usually come from short-term traders, not long-term institutions. Larger investors, he said, look for real-world settlement volumes, reliable liquidity and clear regulation before making major allocations.
“Purely ETF-driven double-digit pricing is unrealistic. ETF access improves liquidity and distribution, but it doesn’t replace utility. Sustainable value comes from real settlement demand, enterprise adoption,consistent volumes and regulatory acceptance,” he said.
Shetty added that ETFs can improve access, but they cannot replace the utility that gives a payments token long-term value.
