XRP Holds Near $1.15 as ETFs Extend 5-Week Inflow Streak, XRPL RWA Tops $4.18B

XRP News

Spot XRP exchange-traded funds extended a notable run of inflows, pulling in roughly $10.68 million over the past week and marking a fifth consecutive week of positive net flows. The capital arrived across three separate trading sessions. The contrast was sharp: over the same five-week window, comparable Bitcoin and Ethereum products recorded net outflows as a broader market downturn weighed on risk appetite. Steady allocation into XRP vehicles suggests institutional positioning is diverging from the rest of the large-cap field, with disciplined inflows pointing to longer-term conviction rather than reactive trading tied to daily price swings. Analysts continue to watch the move as a sign of resilient demand.

Ripple, MetaMask and Mastercard are separately building payment infrastructure aimed at autonomous AI agents rather than human users, a shift that reframes wallets and settlement rails around machine speed. Central to Ripple’s push is the newly released XRPL AI Starter Kit, a developer toolset for agents that can send XRP and RLUSD payments on the XRP Ledger blockchain. It targets the x402 machine-to-machine standard, which has processed more than 120 million transactions across 14 networks but remains dominated by USDC. Ripple argues the ledger’s three-to-five-second settlement, predictable fees and a built-in decentralized exchange suit agents that pay continuously for data, model inference or API access.

RippleX engineers are accelerating preparations to make the XRP Ledger resistant to quantum computing, framing the transition as a priority that can no longer be deferred. Lead engineer J. A. Akinyele outlined a three-phase roadmap targeting full quantum readiness by 2028. The first phase tests post-quantum signature standards suited to the ledger; the second integrates the chosen scheme while preserving performance, security and decentralization; the third manages ecosystem migration of accounts, wallets and applications. The approach favors early preparation over a wait-and-see stance, on the view that high-value, enterprise-focused networks must harden cryptographic foundations before quantum machines mature enough to threaten existing systems.

On-chain data points to a widening gap between XRP’s price and network usage. Daily transactions on the XRP Ledger climbed 35% to 2.48 million, even as the token shed about 27% over the quarter to near current levels. The strongest expansion came in tokenized real-world assets, whose value on the ledger has surged from roughly $147 million a year ago to about $4.18 billion, an increase of nearly 28 times. Ripple’s dollar-backed RLUSD stablecoin added to the momentum, growing its market capitalization 45% to $340 million. The figures suggest adoption of settlement and liquidity rails is deepening despite weak price action across the market.

Japanese energy consultancy Remixpoint underscored its growing crypto treasury, disclosing that XRP now sits alongside Bitcoin at the center of its corporate strategy. The firm holds roughly 1.2 million XRP and more than 1,491 BTC, complemented by Solana and Dogecoin positions across a diversified basket of altcoins. For fiscal 2027, Remixpoint projects crypto asset-management revenue could reach as high as ¥12.442 billion, signaling that digital holdings have moved from a peripheral hedge to a core earnings driver. Management frames the allocation primarily as protection against a weakening yen, and since late 2024 has folded crypto valuation gains and losses directly into its income reporting.

Large holders have been pulling significant amounts of XRP off major exchanges, a pattern that on-chain data flags as a potential counterweight to recent selling pressure. Between June 3 and June 11, transfers exceeding one million XRP per transaction drove roughly 465 million XRP out of Binance alone, with repeated large daily withdrawals rather than a single spike. Such moves do not automatically signal accumulation, but they can reduce the supply immediately available on each exchange order book. The contrast is striking during a phase of price weakness: short-term sellers pressing prices lower while sizable holders move coins away from trading venues.

COINOTAG’s proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine rates the $1.1141 support at 78/100, its strongest reading, built on the confluence of an S2 pivot, the 0.114 Fibonacci level and a prior-day low, while the $1.1702 resistance scores 73/100 driven by Ichimoku Senkou A and a MACD cross. With spot near $1.15, RSI at 37.53 and a bearish MACD confirming the downtrend, momentum stays soft. Derivatives data shows a slightly negative funding rate (-0.0005%), $640.98 million in open interest and a long/short account ratio of 3.20, or 76.2% long — a crowded posture vulnerable to a squeeze. With the Fear and Greed Index at 13 (Extreme Fear), reclaiming $1.17 would favor the bulls, while a daily close below $1.1141 invalidates the recovery thesis toward $1.05.
