Performance and ETF Momentum

XRP (XRP) ranked as the best-performing token among the top ten largest cryptocurrencies in 2025, outpacing gains from Bitcoin and Ethereum, according to market data. As the first week of 2026 progresses, XRP has continued its upward trajectory, recording a weekly surge that pushed its price back above a key threshold.

The performance of XRP exchange-traded funds has contributed to the token’s recent gains, attracting significant inflows over recent weeks, according to fund flow data. Bitcoin ETFs experienced notable outflows during the same period, while Ethereum products faced losses, the data showed.

XRP funds achieved large inflows during December and maintained a steady influx for 30 consecutive trading days, according to trading records. The streak ended on December 26 with the first day of zero inflows. Since their launch in November, total inflows into XRP exchange-traded funds have accumulated at the fastest adoption rate for any altcoin ETF to date, according to industry data.

Key Catalysts and Market Drivers

Market analysts have identified several factors that could influence XRP’s future performance. A potential filing by BlackRock for an XRP ETF could attract conservative institutional investors, according to industry observers. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF has demonstrated the firm’s capacity to mobilize capital through its institutional connections.

The scaling of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin into banking and remittance services could generate ongoing demand for XRP as a bridge asset, according to company statements. Some market participants have suggested that potential Federal Reserve rate cuts would lower the opportunity cost of investing in risk assets, which could benefit cryptocurrencies including XRP.

Technical Outlook

Market analysts have highlighted XRP’s recent movement with bullish technical indicators. A bullish Relative Strength Index on recent candles suggests positive momentum, though surpassing key resistance levels remains crucial for sustained upward movement. Analysts have suggested XRP could be positioned for a significant surge based on longer-term price targets.

The token remains below its all-time high and is facing short-term resistance, according to technical analysis.

XRP-2,33%
BTC-0,62%
ETH-1,16%

XRP has really taken off. With BlackRock making such a big move, it feels like it's time to jump on board...

XRP this time is really amazing. Once the Blackstone ETF is approved, it will take off immediately.

Looking at this wave of XRP market, it's really been holding back, huh? Is the 2026 narrative coming? When will the BlackRock ETF shoe drop? That would be the real catalyst.

XRP is really strong this time. ETF inflow + BlackRock might get involved... If stablecoins also pick up, the rhythm will feel different.
