Institutional inflows boost XRP as price stalls: $25M weekly
XRP continues to attract institutional inflows even as its price stays largely stable. CoinShares reported $25M of weekly inflows into XRP-linked investment products. Year-to-date, XRP inflows total $148M, lifting XRP assets under management (AUM) to $2.57B.
This demand appears while the broader crypto market also sees inflows, with $1.2B added last week across digital-asset investment products (BTC $932.5M, ETH $192.4M, SOL $31.8M). Meanwhile, XRP price action remains range-bound around $1.39 with tight volatility.
Traders are watching a key resistance area. The article cites a bullish technical setup, but it also notes overhead supply where selling has historically been strong. A clean breakout above resistance could accelerate momentum; a rejection would likely prolong consolidation.
Longer term, Bitwise forecasts XRP could reach $6.53 by end-2026 and $29.32 by 2030, supported by expanding tokenization and institutional use cases.
Bullish
XRP institutional inflows ($25M weekly; $148M YTD; $2.57B AUM) provide a supportive backdrop that can raise the probability of an upside break. However, the article emphasizes price remains range-bound around $1.39, with overhead supply/resistance acting as a near-term gatekeeper. If traders see confirmation via a resistance breakout, the inflow narrative can translate into momentum and follow-through. If XRP rejects the resistance again, the same institutional demand may still be absorbed slowly, keeping the token in consolidation longer. Longer term fundamentals cited by Bitwise (tokenization and institutional finance use cases) add additional upside expectations, but the immediate trade is likely dominated by whether XRP can clear that resistance level.
