In 2025, XRP outperformed top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, continuing this trend into 2026 with a 17% rise last week, reaching over $2.20.

Key Factors Driving XRP's Rise

  • XRP ETFs attracted $483 million recently, while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw significant outflows.
  • Total inflows into XRP ETFs since November reached $1.3 billion.
  • Speculation on BlackRock filing for an XRP ETF could boost credibility and attract conservative investors.
