TLDR
XRP ETFs saw $666.6M in inflows just two weeks after U.S. launch
XRP price rose 16% in 7 days amid institutional interest

XRP is gaining strong momentum as institutional interest rises, driven by the launch of U.S. spot XRP ETFs. With over $666 million in inflows just two weeks after approval, investor confidence is growing fast. The token has surged 16% in the past seven days, holding firm above the $2.20 mark. As buyers increase and market signals stay positive, analysts now expect a potential rally toward the $3 level this week.
ETF Inflows and Whale Accumulation Support XRP Rise
U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded inflows of approximately $666.6 million in November, despite launching only two weeks ago. These new products from firms including 21Shares, Grayscale, and Franklin are attracting notable institutional demand.
XRP’s price has risen by 16% in the last week, showing strong buying activity, particularly after ETF products went live. Trading volume also climbed, indicating increased market interest. Notably, large XRP wallets added about 150 million tokens since November 25. This represents roughly $330 million in added investment based on current prices.
XRP Holds Key Support Level Ahead of ETF Trading Debut
XRP maintained a price above $2.20 on Sunday, showing resilience after several days of price consolidation. The token had previously tested the $2.00 support level, but buyers kept it above that threshold.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is near the center, signaling possible increased volatility. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is near 52, indicating room for more upside. Analysts suggest that maintaining the current structure can lead to a breakout toward $2.40, $2.60, and potentially $3.00 if momentum continues.
Ripple Executive Explains Growing Demand for RLUSD Stablecoin
Ripple executive Reece Merrick stated that demand for Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is growing rapidly. In a recent update, Merrick noted that RLUSD has gained more than $1 billion in circulation on Ethereum in less than a year.
He explained that stablecoins were once used mainly for trading but are now expanding into global payments. On-chain stablecoin transfers grew from $0.5 trillion in 2020 to $27.6 trillion in 2024, with projections suggesting $46 trillion in 2025. He said, “Stablecoins are becoming a new layer for internet payments.”
The RLUSD stablecoin is now listed on multiple exchanges, driven by rising global demand. Regulatory support such as the GENIUS Act and Ripple’s push for tokenization have also contributed to its fast adoption.
Institutional Interest Boosts XRP Price Outlook
The overall crypto market is showing signs of recovery. Ethereum recently crossed the $3,000 level, while other major assets such as Solana and Cardano are gaining. XRP is benefiting from this positive sentiment along with institutional interest from ETFs.
Analysts indicate that if Bitcoin maintains its level above $90,000, XRP could rally further. The launch of the U.S. spot XRP ETF under the symbol TOXR by 21Shares is expected to bring more exposure starting Monday.
Strong buyer support at $2.20, combined with increasing ETF inflows and whale activity, suggests that XRP could reach $3.00 soon. Market observers are watching for volume increases and price confirmation in the coming days.
