Hopes are rising for a lasting ceasefire in Lebanon after former US President Donald Trump announced breakthrough negotiations, with some analysts suggesting that such a development could signal a permanent halt to hostilities involving Iran as well. Against this geopolitical backdrop, battered cryptocurrency markets—under heavy selling pressure for months—could see a swift reversal if a ceasefire holds and the US Federal Reserve moves to reopen quantitative easing. The question now is: what’s the latest for XRP Coin?
ETF demand boosts xrp
Interest in spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) has surged, sparking institutional investors to take bullish positions even before a ceasefire is officially declared. XRP Coin appears to be benefiting from this renewed market optimism. On April 14 alone, XRP saw net inflows amounting to $11.2 million. Across business days between April 10 and 14, total net inflows surpassed $21 million. According to Sosovalue’s data, the aggregate net assets of five XRP ETF products have reached 1.17% of the altcoin’s total market capitalization, with cumulative net inflows now at $1.23 billion.
xrp rivals and on-chain performance
When it comes to ETF-driven demand, XRP is now the largest altcoin in net assets, trailing just behind Ether. Solana outperformed XRP in ETF inflows for a time but lost ground after a recent market dip and technical setbacks, notably the Drift Protocol hack. Still, when measured by on-chain activity and total value locked (TVL), Solana remains out in front.
For RLUSD—Ripple’s USD-denominated token—circulating supply has been rising on a weekly basis, even as it trends lower month-over-month on Ethereum. Supply is gradually increasing and is closing in on $1.5 billion outstanding.
Judging XRP Ledger purely by TVL and revenues could miss the bigger picture, as the network has prioritized infrastructure development for years due to its long-running SEC lawsuit. Compared with competitors like Solana, XRP Ledger may still have room for growth—particularly in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs). Currently, its TVL remains below $50 million, with decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes yet to clear the $6 million threshold. XRP Ledger hosts 21 active protocols, with Ondo being the largest. Ondo’s expansion—supporting 12 blockchains—could be pivotal for XRP Ledger’s future, though it remains to be seen if this materializes in coming years. Meanwhile, investor interest in XRP is largely driven by anticipation of unlocking tens of billions of dollars in RWA potential over time.
xrp price outlook
Much like Bitcoin’s recent sideways moves, XRP Coin price action has been constrained within a tight range. The coin has repeatedly tested resistance between $1.31 and $1.50, mounting two significant breakout attempts since mid-April—although both ultimately failed to hold. Now, there are early signs it could attempt a third breakout. If XRP manages to close above $1.44, analysts suggest that the path to $1.83 could open quickly.
With price escaping the mid-range channel and signs of renewed bullish sentiment after two failed retests, the odds of breaking through resistance have improved. Recent news flow has also been favoring the bulls.
Despite the broader market uncertainties, XRP continues to attract investment based on its potential and positive ETF developments. Many investors are motivated by the possibility of a sizable rally if the market shifts decisively in XRP’s favor.
Industry observers are keeping a close eye on whether these institutional inflows and the improving geopolitical climate will be enough to drive a sustained XRP breakout. The coming weeks could prove pivotal for XRP’s medium-term trajectory.
As stakeholders watch for clarity on the ceasefire’s durability and Fed monetary policy, XRP Coin remains at the center of institutional crypto adoption trends. Investors will be monitoring both macroeconomic signals and on-chain network performance for decisive cues.
