XRP Grinds Higher on Institutional Demand Amid Macro Headwinds
XRP's rally in August has slowed down, but institutional demand remains strong. The token is trading near $1.39 on Aug. 29, down about 2% over 24 hours from its recent peak of $1.45.
The surge earlier in the week was supported by stronger Korean trading activity and a run of positive U.S. ETF flows. Coinpaper's coverage showed that U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted $77.47 million across six consecutive positive sessions through Aug. 25.
Large financial firms, such as Goldman Sachs, are also building exposure to XRP. The bank disclosed $86.5 million across five XRP ETFs in its second-quarter filing.
