Key Highlights
- XRP surges as institutions pile in, with spot purchases on Bitrue spiking 212% and ETFs attracting $1.1B in fresh capital.
- Technicals hint at a rebound: RSI recovers from oversold levels and MACD signals short-term bullish momentum.
- XRP gains stability from big investors, while retail joins in; support near $1.40 is key for further upside.
XRP is gaining momentum as institutional demand surges. Singapore-based exchange Bitrue reported a 212% spike in XRP spot purchases, outpacing sell orders by more than twofold.
This increase comes as institutions continue to accumulate XRP following the launch of XRP ETFs, which have already attracted a total of around $1.1 billion. According to Bitrue, this increased demand could lead to a supply squeeze, which could see XRP outperform its rivals in Q2 2026.
Retail participation is also increasing, adding to the pace. As an early XRP adopter since 2018, Bitrue also plans enhanced XRPL liquidity via RLUSD trading pairs, leveraging the token’s utility to attract users amid rising activity.
XRP technical outlook
Looking at XRP’s one-day chart on TradingView, the token seems to be finding its footing after dropping from highs above $3.00 in late 2025 to around $1.40–$1.45. Trading activity is moderate, showing that investors are slowly coming back in.
Technical signals hint at a possible recovery: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has bounced back to about 45 after being oversold in February. At the same time, the MACD line has crossed above its signal line, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.
If XRP can hold support near $1.40, it could see a gradual price increase, although the overall market will still play a big role.
According to CoinMarketCap data, as of writing, the token was trading at $1.45, up 5.24% in the last 24 hours.
Institutional support boosts stability
Big investors are giving XRP a stronger foundation for the mid- to long-term. While everyday traders can cause short-term price swings, institutional money provides stability. Since XRP ETFs launched in mid-November, more funds have flowed in than out each week.
This is in contrast to Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen declines due to U.S. tariffs and changing economic policies. XRP is starting to act more like a risky growth asset, driven by big investors and moves like the state of Arizona’s new plan to include XRP in its state digital assets fund. However, ongoing U.S. trade tensions could still shake the market.
