XRP price recently broke through the key level of $2.12 strongly. With above-average trading volume, it successfully moved above the resistance zone that had previously been repeatedly blocked. This trend occurs against the backdrop of continuous decline in XRP balances on exchanges and the stable absorption of market supply by the US spot XRP ETF, giving this round of rally a stronger structural foundation and once again attracting market attention to XRP price movements and short- to medium-term trends.
From a fundamental perspective, institutional demand for regulated XRP products continues to persist. Earlier this week, the US-listed spot XRP ETF recorded a net inflow of approximately $13.59 million in a single day. Unlike event-driven capital, such sustained and stable capital inflows often serve to "absorb selling pressure" during price fluctuations, providing a buffer for spot prices. This is also a key reason why many traders view ETF capital flows as a medium-term bullish factor.
