XRP Soars 7.5% as Institutional Demand Remains Steady

XRP has seen a significant price surge of 7.5% in one day, trading at $1.42 as of September 18, 2026, according to CoinGecko's live data.

This move is notable, especially when compared to the relatively stagnant prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum during the same period.

One factor contributing to this price increase may be the steady institutional demand for XRP. According to a report from BSCNews, spot ETFs tracking XRP recorded their first net outflow day on September 17, but still managed to remain positive for the week overall, with total net assets across these funds sitting at $1.51 billion as of the latest read.

This suggests that investors are not pulling back from XRP, but rather rebalancing or taking profits.
