XRP Tests $1.37 as ETF Inflows Fade

Ripple (XRP) is priced above $1.37, struggling to find a solid footing. The persistent decline marks the fifth consecutive day of sellers tightening their grip, leaving XRP vulnerable.

Risk appetite is generally cooling, as evidenced by the crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures market sentiment, falling to 25 in the Extreme Fear territory on Tuesday, down from 28 the previous day and 49 last week.

XRP network amid modest ETF inflows
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) continues to face declining adoption, with fewer new users joining the protocol. According to Santiment data, newly created addresses on the network dropped sharply to near 780 on Tuesday, from roughly 2,600 the previous day.

Such a decline is an early signal of fading user adoption, interest and demand for XRP. Fewer users on the blockchain could mean low network activity or speculative inflows needed to reinforce a steady bullish outlook, shifting the edge toward defensive positioning until growth metrics stabilize or reverse.

XRP spot ETFs mirror the protocol's weakness and loss of appetite, as inflows plunged a mere $750,000 on Monday, from nearly $11 million on Friday. Although cumulative inflows steadied at $1.39 billion, net assets under management narrowed to $1.14 billion from $1.18 billion over the same period.

Sustaining inflows into the ETFs could help stabilize sentiment and raise the odds of a recovery. However, if institutions sense uncertainty and pull their funds, declines could accelerate.

Market attention shifts from XRP weakness to new alts
While XRP shows signs of weakness under declining demand and worsening market sentiment, large market participants are reallocating capital into more promising projects like Minotaurus (MTAUR) (https://minotaurus.io/).

MTAUR has recently been one of the brightest altcoins, with its expanding ecosystem and focus on utility over hype attracting smart funds. The up-and-coming token powers the Minotaurus ecosystem, a blockchain-integrated gaming platform. Unlike meme-driven tokens, Minotaurus focuses on functional gameplay and token-based mechanics, providing players with an engaging and addictive experience.

Here's Why MTAUR Is Drawing Attention
- Promising Niche: Minotaurus targets the casual gaming sector, tipped to reach 29 billion USDT by 2029.
- Compelling Starting Price: Buyers now will see a staggering 57% uptick from the listing price.

- Solid Token Utility: MTAUR features an in-game utility that enables users to power up and customize characters using the token.

100,000 USDT Giveaway for Holders

Meanwhile, Minotaurus's fair entry price also makes it a strong attraction. The token is currently available at 0.00012761 USDT, making it accessible for those tracking early-stage gaming tokens.
