XRP Price Slips Below $1.40 as Market Divergence Widens

XRP's price slipped below $1.40 as the token's spot exchange-traded funds pulled in another $18.47 million on August 27, pushing cumulative inflows past $1.6 billion.

The price action tells a different story, however, with XRP briefly touching $1.36 before stabilizing around $1.38.

This divergence is the defining feature of the current market, where institutional demand and short-term trading momentum are moving in opposite directions.
