Analysis of XRP’s Recent Key Driving Factors

1️⃣ Continuous Net Inflows into Spot ETF Funds, Steady Institutional Allocation Demand

US spot XRP ETF has accumulated cumulative net inflows exceeding 1.2 billion USD since its launch in November, with assets under management breaking through 1.25 billion USD, achieving continuous net inflows for seven consecutive weeks. XRPZ fund under Franklin Templeton has exceeded 100 million XRP holdings for the first time, reaching 1.015 billion XRP, with portfolio value touching 1.927 billion USD, monthly growth exceeding 100%. During the same period when Bitcoin ETF faced 2.9 billion USD capital outflows and Ethereum ETF experienced 59.5 million USD capital outflows, XRP ETF maintained counter-trend net inflows, with single-day net inflows reaching 70.2 million USD last week, fully highlighting institutional investors’ long-term recognition of XRP’s strategic value, indicating that the market’s medium-term allocation framework for this asset has initially formed.

2️⃣ Ranking Rises to Second Position, Market Attention and Liquidity Enhanced Simultaneously

According to CoinMarketCap data, XRP’s ranking has risen to second position globally, second only to Bitcoin and surpassing Ethereum. Current market liquidity is abundant, with XRP trading volume reaching 7.153 billion USD in the past 24 hours. Market cap ranking has also risen to fourth position, successfully surpassing BNB. This change is viewed as an important signal for the current bull market. Against the backdrop of rapid growth in US spot crypto ETF trading volumes, XRP ETF’s strong performance reflects actual investment actions supporting its medium-term allocation value.

3️⃣ Improved On-chain Supply Structure, Exchange Reserves Hit 7-Year Low

Centralized exchange XRP holdings have dropped to approximately 1.6 billion, hitting the lowest level since 2018, representing an approximately 57% decline from the high at the end of 2025. This indicates investors’ preference to transfer tokens into self-custody wallets, reducing short-term circulating supply. Although Ripple plans to unlock 1 billion XRP in January 2026, historical data shows that approximately two-thirds to even four-fifths of unlocked XRP are typically quickly re-locked, with limited volume actually flowing into the secondary market. Continuously tightening supply resonates with ETF demand, providing medium to long-term price support.

4️⃣ Cross-chain Ecosystem Expansion and RWA Applications Accelerated, Ecological Value Validated

Wrapped XRP has launched on multiple mainstream networks including Solana, Ethereum, Optimism, Ink and Unichain, launched in partnership between Hex Trust and LayerZero with 1:1 backing from native XRP, locking over 100 million USD in liquidity upon initial launch. Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD has launched multi-chain pilots, going live on Ethereum L2 networks via Wormhole protocol. Tokenized real-world asset value on XRP Ledger has exceeded 568 million USD, with annual growth reaching 2200%, of which RLUSD accounts for over 50% at approximately 293 million USD. These developments mark XRP’s ecosystem evolution from single-chain to multi-chain strategy, creating new application scenarios for real-world asset tokenization and yield protocols.

5️⃣ International Financial Institutions Optimistic on Long-term Outlook, Improved Regulatory Environment Releases Positive Signals

Standard Chartered’s Global Head of Digital Asset Research expressed optimism on XRP, projecting price could rise to 8 USD by 2026, representing potential upside of 230% compared to current levels. The US incumbent president emphasized in public remarks advancing financial system modernization through faster payment infrastructure and advanced cryptographic technology, interpreted by the market as positive signals toward blockchain and crypto payment solutions. As an asset designed for cross-border payments, XRP’s technical positioning aligns with current policy-level reform directions. The Japanese government plans to lower crypto investment income tax rates from a maximum of 55% to a unified 20%, and plans to launch more ETF products linked to specific crypto assets. These policy-level changes create more favorable environmental conditions for XRP’s practical application implementation.
