US-listed XRP ETFs attracted $28.14 million on August 26, marking the second-largest daily inflow in 2026, led by Bitwise with $13.12 million. Whale wallets accumulated about 460 million XRP tokens, the strongest since February, signaling strong institutional interest despite recent price volatility. XRP surged past its 200-day EMA for the first time since October 2025, reaching $1.70 before a pullback to critical support between $1.35 and $1.40. Traders now watch the $1.48–$1.52 range for a potential breakout, with broader market optimism supported by easing US interest rate expectations and a high Crypto Fear and Greed Index.
