XRP Surpasses Top 10 Cryptocurrencies as Institutional ETF Inflows Hit $30M in Three Days

XRP price surged 1.95% on April 16, 2026, reaching $1.40, after a 24-hour high of $1.43. This marked a $3.4 billion increase in the token’s market capitalization, bringing it to $87.2 billion. XRP outperformed all other top-ten cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin, which gained 3.71% in the same period. The rally was driven by renewed institutional interest in XRP Ledger services amid regulatory uncertainty over the U.S. Clarity Act. XRP spot exchange-traded funds recorded a $17.11 million net cash inflow on April 15—the largest in over two months—and added nearly $30 million in inflows over three days, bringing total assets to over $1 billion. Meanwhile, XRP Ledger addresses reached an all-time high of 8.1 million as adoption expanded, including SBI Ripple Asia’s regulated tokenization platform. Sustained ETF inflows above $15 million daily could push the price toward $1.50 resistance. A reversal risks a pullback to the $1.30–$1.35 support zone.
