XRP Price Surges 3% to $1.36 as Capital Rotates to Altcoin
Setting a new path to recovery, Ripple (XRP) price jumped 3.05% to $1.36 over the past 24h, closely tracking a broad market rally in which Bitcoin gained 4.88%.
The move is primarily driven by a surge in institutional capital into crypto investment products, with XRP-specific ETFs seeing their strongest weekly inflows in two months.
Its 24-hour trading volume surged more than 82% to $2.84 billion as institutional capital flows back into the fourth-largest crypto asset. At $83.73 billion, XRP has overtaken BNB to become the fourth-largest digital asset by market capitalisation.
Market analysts noted that downbeat investor sentiment triggered by Middle East conflicts stoked fear in the cryptocurrency market, stalling XRP’s price recovery following more than 60% depreciation from its record high of $3.66, reached in July, 2025.
The broader crypto market rose 4.37% over 24h, led by Bitcoin’s 4.88% gain, amid easing geopolitical tensions and softer US economic data that boosted risk appetite.
This lifted most major altcoins, including XRP. Concurrently, XRP investment products saw $19.3 million in weekly inflows—their highest since early February—signalling renewed institutional interest.
XRP’s gain was more about catching a rising tide of capital than a coin-specific breakthrough. The market anticipates continued weekly ETF flow data to gauge if institutional demand is sustained.
Crypto analysts reported that on-chain data showed a net inflow of 7.9 million XRP to exchanges in 24h, which typically suggests increasing sell-side pressure, not a bullish driver. This suggested that the token’s market price move was largely passive, driven by market-wide flows rather than by unique XRP developments.
XRP is testing the upper bound of a recent range between $1.28 support and $1.45 resistance. The 7-day Relative Strength Index at 59.74 shows room for movement before overbought.
The key near-term trigger is potential progress on the U.S. CLARITY Act, which could classify XRP as a digital commodity. If the price holds above $1.28 with strong volume, a test of $1.45 is likely. A break below $1.28 could see a slide toward $1.20.
Ripple has recently launched a new Treasury Management System that unifies traditional payment rails, such as SWIFT, with XRP and third-party providers.
The system offers corporate treasurers a consolidated view for managing cross-border payments and liquidity, allowing them to choose settlement rails based on cost and speed. Tether Gold Climbs to $4,661 on Volume Growth
