XRP Price: Biggest ETF Inflow in Four Months — Is a Breakout Coming?

TLDR

• XRP is trading at $1.42–$1.44, down ~3.2% in 24 hours but up 5% in May
• Spot XRP ETFs recorded $25.8M in inflows on May 11, the largest single-day figure since January
• Cumulative XRP ETF net inflows hit an all-time high of $1.35 billion
• The U.S. Senate Banking Committee meets May 14 to discuss the CLARITY Act, which could affect XRP’s regulatory status
• Analysts are targeting price levels between $1.80 and $10, with XRP futures open interest up 23% in May

XRP is trading around $1.42 after a 3.2% dip in the past 24 hours. That puts it about 6% below its recent high of $1.50. Despite the pullback, several data points suggest buying pressure is building.

On May 11, spot XRP ETFs pulled in $25.8 million in a single day. That is the largest daily inflow since January 5. It extended a five-day streak of net positive flows and pushed cumulative inflows to a record $1.35 billion.

Bitwise, Franklin, and Grayscale led that inflow surge. Total net investments into XRP ETFs for May alone have now reached $60 million, according to SoSoValue data.

For the week ending May 8, XRP exchange-traded products saw $40 million in inflows, according to CoinShares. Total 2026 net inflows now stand at $191 million, with assets under management reaching $2.5 billion.

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill described the pace as a “notable acceleration,” partly tied to developments around the U.S. CLARITY Act.

Senate Vote on May 14 Could Move Markets

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee, chaired by Sen. Tim Scott, is scheduled to hold an executive session on May 14 at 10:30 a.m. in Washington to discuss the CLARITY Act. The bill would clarify how digital assets are classified — as securities or commodities — and address friction between banks and crypto businesses on stablecoins.

The committee released the full draft text ahead of the markup session. Crypto traders have responded with cautious optimism, given Ripple’s history with U.S. regulators and its ongoing SEC dispute.

Analysts believe the session could have a short-term directional impact on the broader crypto market.

Technical Levels and Analyst Targets

XRP’s RSI sits near 51, indicating neutral momentum. Chaikin Money Flow is positive at 0.13, pointing to capital inflows.

Analyst ChartNerd says a bounce off a multi-month ascending support line, combined with a golden cross on the weekly MACD, sets up a potential breakout toward $1.80. A move above $1.47 resistance could open the door to $1.50, then $1.55.

Crypto analyst Santiment Intelligence noted on X that the XRP Ledger has hit an all-time high of 332,230 wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP. Santiment said this “extends a consistent growth trend building since June 2024,” adding that rising mid-to-large wallet counts suggest increasing conviction from long-term holders who accumulated during periods of low prices rather than chasing momentum.

CW8900 noted that XRP’s 90-day spot taker cumulative volume delta has flipped green, saying “upward pressure in the spot market is increasing.” Futures open interest is up 23% in May, per CoinGlass data.

XRP social media sentiment recently hit two-year highs, according to Cointelegraph.

The $1.35 billion cumulative ETF inflow milestone and a record number of large wallets are the most recent data points shaping market positioning.
