XRP Price Stagnant Despite Surging Futures Volume

XRP futures trading volume has reached its highest value since February 2026, indicating a strong return of liquidity and renewed investor interest in the derivatives market. Binance topped the list of exchanges by XRP futures volume, totaling $37 billion.

The spot XRP ETF saw steady inflows over eight weeks, with data from Soso Value showing the crypto asset class posted its highest weekly inflow of the year in the last week of August. This suggests a return of institutional demand.

However, despite this surge in activity, the cryptocurrency's price remains suppressed, trending sideways between $1.30 and $1.50 after pulling back from the latest rally that saw XRP reach $1.69 for the first time since January.
