XRP Price Surges 56% Amid Institutional Demand Boost
XRP's price jumped 56% in one week to $1.48 due to increased institutional demand, driven by large whale accumulation and regulatory clarity.
According to Pluang, a significant portion of this demand comes from $13.24 million in ETF inflows into seven US spot XRP ETFs, which now hold a total of $1.44 billion. However, this represents only 1.9% of XRP's market cap, indicating room for growth compared to Bitcoin's ETF market.
The SEC-CFTC joint classification of XRP as a digital commodity has removed legal barriers for institutional investors and boosted demand. Ripple's upcoming Swell conference in September may further increase adoption and price.
