XRP Price Climbs to $1.48 on Spot ETF Inflows Surge
XRP price climbed to $1.48 on Friday, from last week’s low of $1.32, outperforming its 30-day trend and primarily driven by a surge in institutional ETF inflows, the strongest weekly pace since mid-January.
The move aligns with a broader market uptick as eased geopolitical tensions fostered a risk-on environment. U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted $41.64 million in net inflows over four days, marking their strongest weekly pace since the week of January 16, 2026.
This reversal from March’s outflows indicates fresh institutional capital entering the market, directly supporting the price. According to crypto analysts, institutional accumulation via regulated products is providing a tangible demand floor and driving short-term price momentum.
The market is now watching for the continuation of daily ETF flow data to confirm whether this institutional interest is sustained.
Meanwhile, some crypto market analysts shed light on the rally, with the price target reset at $1.60 after XRP successfully broke above $1.45.
XRP rally today was influenced by the launch of wXRP on the Solana network via Hex Trust and LayerZero expanded XRP’s cross-chain utility. Concurrently, the total crypto market cap rose 2.34%, with Bitcoin up 2.83%, providing a beta-driven tailwind.
While not the primary catalyst, positive ecosystem news and general market strength amplified buying sentiment. The immediate technical structure shows XRP holding a breakout above the $1.44–$1.45 resistance-turned-support area. The next major resistance is the 100-day EMA near $1.55.
A key upcoming catalyst is the U.S. Senate Banking Committee’s markup of the CLARITY Act, expected before the end of April, which could classify XRP as a digital commodity.
The combination of record ETF inflows and a successful technical breakout suggests controlled buying pressure. However, overbought readings on shorter timeframes warn of potential consolidation.
Technical tarders are watching if XRP can decisively break and hold above the $1.55 resistance level, which would signal a potential trend reversal and attract further momentum buying
