XRP Price Prediction and ETF Inflow Trends Amid Institutional Adoption
XRP is trading at $1.85 following 29 consecutive days of spot ETF inflows totaling $1.15 billion. In the latest session, XRP ETFs attracted $8.44 million, with ETF assets under management at approximately $1.24 billion. December inflows have totaled $478 million, maintaining daily additions above $30 million. Year-to-date, ETF inflows amount to around $46.3 billion.
Despite these inflows, digital asset funds posted $446 million in weekly outflows, bringing total withdrawals since mid-October to $3.2 billion. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced redemptions, while XRP ETFs continued to see inflows.
YoungHoon Kim, who has an IQ of 276, predicted that XRP could reach $3 within 48 hours; however, this forecast received skepticism due to the need for a 60–70% gain and lack of supporting methodology. From a technical perspective, XRP faces resistance near $1.92–$2.00 and has a critical support level at $1.77. A breakout above $2.50–$2.80 could open the way to targets between $3.00 and $3.80, whereas a drop below $1.77 might lead to a decline toward $1.50–$1.70.
Data from Flare Networks shows that 79.7% of FXRP supply, valued at $124 million, is currently locked across decentralized finance platforms, with on-chain participation involving 5,699 wallets.
Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick projects an XRP price of $8 by 2026, citing regulatory clarity following the Ripple settlement, potential spot ETF approval, and tightening supply-demand dynamics as key drivers.
This ongoing institutional adoption supports XRP’s market outlook while emphasizing the inherent risks and speculative nature of cryptocurrency investments.
