XRP Surges Past Bitcoin and Ethereum in Weekly Gains

Ripple's XRP cryptocurrency has seen a significant surge in price over the past week, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price of XRP has risen by around 10% to trade near $1.50.

The rally is attributed to several factors, including ETF inflows, which have reached their strongest streak since March. According to SoSoValue, XRP ETFs have seen over $38 million in inflows over the last week, pushing cumulative inflows past $1.25 billion.

Ripple's recent developments have also contributed to the surge in price. The company launched a new Treasury Management System under Ripple Treasury and hosted XRP Tokyo 2026, where it made predictions about on-chain stablecoin volume growth. Additionally, the XRP Ledger integrated Boundless for zero-knowledge proofs, and Rakuten Wallet listed XRP for its 44 million users in Japan.

The CLARITY Act roundtable discussion has also been a soft driver for XRP's current momentum. While it did not deliver what the market expected, the absence of any negative signals from the commissioners helped keep XRP's momentum intact.

However, there are still key factors to watch for XRP's next move. The price structure and key levels will play a crucial role in determining if this rally holds. Until XRP clears its 100-day EMA at $1.55 and its 200-day EMA above $1.80, the current move is nothing but a short-term rally rather than a confirmed trend reversal.
