XRP – Uneven demand caps XRPs latest surge after altcoin breaches $1.18
$XRPs latest advance pushed the price above the $1.18-zone, a level that repeatedly capped recovery attempts following the early June sell-off from $1.36. The surge pushed $XRPs price to $1.22 and coincided with a 94% surge in daily trading volume to $1.73 billion.

More importantly, reclaiming $1.18 shifts focus from simple recovery towards a potential trend reversal. However, the breakout still remains unconfirmed. Sustained buying above $1.18 is needed before stronger upside continuation emerges across the board. ETF demand strengthens $XRPs recovery $XRPs recovery has so far increasingly benefited from institutional participation, with ETF demand building in the background. Since late 2025, U.S Spot ETFs have attracted roughly $1.44 billion in cumulative inflows, including 8.80 million $XRP worth roughly $10.68 million in the latest week. As a result, ETF holdings have now climbed towards 924 million $XRP, gradually reducing liquid supply.

More importantly, ETF inflows are evolving from short-term catalysts into a steadier source of demand. And yet, sustaining the recovery still depends on whether those inflows continue to support market absorption or not. Upbit dominates $XRPs flows $XRPs latest
