Photo by BeInCryptoXRP is trading within a descending wedge pattern, often viewed as a bullish setup signaling a potential breakout. Investors will be closely watching October, a month that historically hasn’t favored the token. Still, shifting market conditions and institutional activity could alter the expected trajectory this year.September highlighted a strong presence of institutional investment in XRP, with inflows totaling $210 million despite market volatility. Even after the mid-month crash, large players continued accumulating positions. This shows confidence in XRP’s long-term utility in cross-border payments and its relevance in the broader digital asset ecosystem.XRP Institutional Investment. Source: CoinSharesRicardo Santos, CTO at Mansa, told BeInCrypto that the sell-off during September likely came from retail traders rather than institutions.“Institutions went the other way entirely. We saw tokens move off exchanges into cold storage while whales continued to accumulate. Which is not surprising considering that we’re waiting on multiple XRP ETF decisions in Q4. You don’t move millions to cold storage if you’re planning a massive sell-off. September’s crash just gave institutions cheaper prices to build positions,” Santos stated.Exchange net position data shows shifting investor behavior. For much of the month, sentiment leaned bearish as holders moved assets onto exchanges. As per Ricardo, this sale was the result of retail holders.“Retail traders had leveraged up too much and got forced out when prices dropped. That's where most of the selling came from,” Santos noted.However, in the last week, more than 439 million XRP, worth over $1.2 billion, was withdrawn from trading platforms.This trend signals growing confidence among both retail and institutional traders. By moving assets off exchanges, investors appear committed to holding XRP, reducing short-term selling pressure.XRP Exchange Net Position Change.

Data from the past decade shows average returns of -4.5% in October, making it the second-worst month of the year for the token. This track record has often left traders wary of betting on rallies during this period.XRP Historical Monthly Returns.

Strong institutional inflows and shifting sentiment might counter historical weakness.“Ripple's legal battles with the SEC are essentially resolved. Tokenized assets are live on the XRP Ledger with real transaction volume. We have multiple ETF applications in the regulatory pipeline. Previous Octobers didn't have these catalysts. That historical pattern happened during years of regulatory uncertainty and zero institutional infrastructure. The October pattern has held for years, but I believe that this might be the year it doesn't,” Santos told BeInCrypto.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoS&P Futures6,770.25 +8.75 (+0.13%)Dow Futures46,757.00 +32.00 (+0.07%)Nasdaq Futures25,067.00 +49.50 (+0.20%)Russell 2000 Futures2,466.10 +6.00 (+0.24%)VIX16.29 +0.01 (+0.06%)Gold3,887.70 -9.80 (-0.25%)PortfolioSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop gainersFLNC Fluence Energy, Inc. 13.45 +2.65 (+24.54%)MENS Jyong Biotech Ltd. 47.86 +8.48 (+21.53%)QS QuantumScape Corporation 14.59 +2.27 (+18.43%)AES The AES Corporation 15.37 +2.21 (+16.79%)ASTS AST SpaceMobile, Inc. 56.94 +7.86 (+16.01%)Top losersWIX Wix.com Ltd. 153.79 -23.84 (-13.42%)WOLF Wolfspeed, Inc. 24.83 -3.77 (-13.18%)RDDT Reddit, Inc. 202.60 -27.39 (-11.91%)SLNO Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. 60.12 -7.48 (-11.07%)CTVA Corteva, Inc. 61.47 -6.16 (-9.11%)Most activePLUG Plug Power Inc. 2.9300 +0.6000 (+25.75%)SNAP Snap Inc. 7.71 0.00 (0.00%)OPEN Opendoor Technologies Inc. 8.06 +0.09 (+1.13%)NVDA NVIDIA Corporation 187.24 +0.67 (+0.36%)INTC Intel Corporation 35.94 +2.39 (+7.12%)Earnings eventsMy earnings eventsEarnings eventsTrending tickersSMCI Super Micro Computer, Inc. 52.39 +4.45 (+9.28%)FRMI Fermi Inc.
