The XRP ETF’s persistent outflows despite inflows suggest structural weakness in the asset's price action relative to fund activity. Traders should watch China’s CPI and PPI for clues on deflationary pressures that might impact crypto demand in Asia. Base’s new financial primitives may offer a localized rally catalyst, but broader macro data will likely dictate direction. Avoid positioning ahead of Chinese trade balance data unless volatility is explicitly targeted.\u003C/p>","https://toscale.io/news-aggregator/in-brief-12h-6234533","https://toscale.io/images/default-news/1.avif","[\"In Brief\",\"12h\",\"XRP\",\"Base\",\"China CPI\",\"AI\"]","[\"Ethereum\",\"ETH\",\"Base\",\"PPI\",\"Sentiment\",\"Market\"]","[{\"img\":\"https://toscalepublic.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/images/coins-lib/full-library/color/ETH.png\",\"name\":\"ETH\"},{\"name\":\"Base\",\"logo\":\"https://toscalepublic.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/images/blockchains/base.png\"},{\"name\":\"PPI\",\"logo\":\"https://toscalepublic.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/images/protocols/ppi.png\"},{\"name\":\"Sentiment\",\"logo\":\"https://toscalepublic.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/images/protocols/sentiment.png\"},{\"name\":\"Market\",\"logo\":\"https://toscalepublic.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/images/protocols/market.png\"}]","533",[],[],"https://toscalepublic.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/images/news-feeds/sources/toscale-digest.png","Toscale Digest",null,"","[\"Crypto\",\"In Brief\",\"Official\"]","0","EN","done","other",0,false,"none"]
