XRP (XRP) is holding near a key support zone as U.S. ETF inflows reach $474 million for the quarter, while bullish models put $2 back in view.
Key Points:
- U.S. spot XRP ETFs drew $474 million over the quarter, according to SoSoValue data cited by CryptoNews.
- Ripple has reported more than $1.5 billion in cumulative ETF inflows and more than 769 million XRP held across five funds.
- Key technical levels remain $1.35 support and the $1.55 to $1.68 resistance area.
XRP ETF Demand
XRP was consolidating around $1.36 to $1.37 after a sharp August advance, with ETF demand forming the main argument for another move higher. SoSoValue data cited by the publication showed $474 million flowing into U.S. spot XRP ETFs over the quarter.
Ripple has separately pointed to more than $1.5 billion in cumulative ETF inflows and more than 769 million XRP held across five funds. Those holdings do not guarantee a price breakout, but continued institutional buying could reduce available liquidity and strengthen demand during periods of broader market support.
Trading activity has also concentrated heavily around current prices. About 3.2 billion XRP in volume changed hands in the $1.35 to $1.38 range during the August move, making that area an important near-term support zone.

Crypto Price Outlook
A 2,000-path AI simulation cited by CryptoNews placed the bullish 90-day XRP scenario at $2.14, about 59% above a $1.35 reference close, while the median outcome was $1.47. The bullish case assumes ETF inflows continue and resistance around $1.68 to $1.72 breaks.
The technical setup remains conditional. A daily close below $1.35 could expose $1.20, while a recovery through the $1.55 to $1.68 area would put $1.86 to $1.90 back in focus. A stronger breakout could then reopen a test of the psychological $2 level.
The same model outlined a base case centered on continued consolidation and a bearish scenario in which XRP falls back toward $1.00 to $0.92.
Institutional demand remains the main variable separating those paths, because steady ETF inflows can support liquidity without automatically producing immediate price gains.
XRP entered August near $0.99 before climbing to about $1.70, then gave back part of that advance and settled near the $1.36 to $1.37 zone. That recent swing explains why $1.35 support and the $1.68 resistance area now carry more weight than longer-term price targets.
