Spot XRP ETFs drew $18.38M on Aug. 21. Weekly inflows neared $40M and cumulative net inflows approached $1.55B, giving the rally a spot-demand base.
But futures open interest jumped 34.49%, or about $939M, to $3.66B, with 72.1% of accounts long. Longs accounted for 77.3% of $70.74M in 24-hour liquidations, while funding stayed positive at 0.01% every four hours. Daily RSI readings ranged from 70 to 85.4, reinforcing the overbought signal.
