XRP trades at $1.51 as ETF inflows top $57 million in August

XRP maintained its position above $1.51 on Tuesday morning, mirroring a strong uptrend in the broader cryptocurrency market. The token outperformed its year-to-date low of $0.9885, supported by renewed momentum across digital assets.

ETF inflows signal surging investor interest

Recent data indicates a renewed risk appetite among cryptocurrency investors. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, a widely referenced market sentiment metric, has climbed into the “extreme greed” zone at 83, its highest reading in several months.

Historically, such elevated readings can precede rapid price advances, though they may also lead to corrections if the market overheats. Currently, Ethereum has reached the $2,500 resistance level, and Bitcoin has risen above $80,000. The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization now exceeds $2.7 trillion.

Spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have experienced a notable uptick in investment activity, attracting $13.8 million in inflows on Monday and over $18 million on Friday. Total inflows last week amounted to more than $39 million, increasing August’s cumulative figure to approximately $57 million.

Since their introduction, spot XRP ETFs have accumulated $1.57 billion in net inflows, now managing approximately $1.44 billion in assets. These funds have reported net outflows in only one month since launch, underscoring consistent demand among investors. Large-scale, or “whale,” holders have also increased their XRP purchases in recent months.

Spot XRP ETFs have maintained net positive inflows throughout nearly their entire lifecycle, with August’s inflows reaching $57 million so far and total assets under management standing at $1.44 billion.

RLUSD adoption drives XRPL stablecoin growth

The XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralized blockchain network supporting XRP and various assets, is solidifying its position in the stablecoin ecosystem. Data from DeFi Llama shows the total value of stablecoins on XRPL has surpassed $1 billion, up from $240 million at the start of the year.

Most of this growth is linked to Ripple USD (RLUSD), a stablecoin designed to bridge traditional finance and digital assets. RLUSD has now exceeded the $2 billion mark in overall issuance, and the token’s supply on XRPL is approaching $1 billion.

User activity on the XRPL network has also risen sharply. Daily active addresses have climbed above 1,500, compared to a monthly low of 600. Transaction volume reached 140,000 on August 22, its highest level in months.

Mini dictionary: Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a stablecoin backed by Ripple, aimed at facilitating fast and efficient cross-border transactions on the XRPL network while maintaining price stability relative to the US dollar.

Technical outlook supports bullish scenario

On the technical side, XRP’s daily price chart shows the token rebounded sharply from its August low of $0.9885, rising to $1.6930 after forming a falling wedge pattern. This formation is widely regarded as a bullish reversal signal in technical analysis.

XRP continues to trade above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), suggesting that positive momentum dominates. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved into overbought territory, indicating strong demand but also hinting that the pace of gains may moderate.

Currently, XRP is shaping a bullish flag pattern. If the token breaks above the key $1.6930 resistance, analysts believe it could target the psychological $2.00 level in the next leg higher.

XRP’s technical setup remains bullish, with the falling wedge breakout and strong ETF inflows supporting a possible move toward $2.00 if resistance at $1.6930 is surpassed.
