XRP Market Performance and Institutional Dynamics
As of September 11, XRP has continued to recover in the cryptocurrency market, with trading prices ranging between US$1.35 and US$1.38. According to CoinGecko, the digital asset has a market value of approximately $85 billion, making it the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market value.
In the past month, XRP has achieved significant gains, with a cumulative increase of more than 30%, and has also increased by about 7% in the past week. Although prices fluctuate occasionally, the recent rally has been largely driven by institutional capital entering the market through U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Since early September, the U.S. spot XRP ETF has recorded positive net inflows for 11 consecutive days. Since their launch in November, the funds have attracted a total of $1.68 billion in net inflows, according to SoValue data and CoinDesk.
Goldman Sachs was confirmed as the publicly disclosed leader in holding XRP-related funds at the end of the second quarter. These positions may also form part of various hedging strategies adopted by the institution.
Legal Resolution and Regulatory Milestones
August 2025 marks the end of a lengthy legal battle between Ripple Labs, a company that uses blockchain technology to develop global payment solutions, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As both parties withdrew their appeals, previous court decisions came into effect, and Ripple paid a $125 million fine.
Ripple Labs ended its legal conflict with the SEC in August 2025, choosing to withdraw all appeals and finalize a $125 million fine, consolidating the court's previous decision.
In addition, Ripple received a full Crypto Asset Markets (MiCA) authorization in Luxembourg in July. This recognition allows Ripple to provide regulated cryptocurrency services throughout the European Economic Area, allowing its operations to comply with strict regulatory standards.
In August, South Korea's Jeonbuk Bank adopted Ripple Payments infrastructure for cross-border fund transfers. The cooperation is expected to enhance the bank's international money transfer services by increasing speed and efficiency.

Technical Outlook and Price Targets
From a technical analysis perspective, the support level for XRP is in the range of US$1.30-US$1.35, while the resistance area is formed between US$1.45-US$1.50. These levels will continue to affect price movements throughout 2026.
A decisive breakthrough above $1.50 would pave the way for a move towards $1.80, with $2.00 seen as the next important resistance level. If the $1.30 support level fails, prices may fall back to the $1.10 - 1.20 region.
Technical analysis shared by analyst @XrpUdate on the X platform points out that based on the updated Elliott Wave structure, XRP has long-term price targets of $14,$27 and $48 respectively. Compared with current values, these forecasts show extremely bullish expectations.
Looking forward to the end of 2026, if institutional inflows remain stable and market conditions are favorable, price expectations for XRP point to a range of US$1.50 to US$2.00.
Continued momentum from institutional ETF inflows is a key factor shaping XRP's outlook for the rest of the year.
