XRP climbed 4% to $1.18 on June 15, 2026, extending a rebound fueled by sustained institutional flows and strong ETF demand that has now persisted for six consecutive weeks.
The token rose from $1.1503 to $1.1866 during the 24-hour session, with the key move occurring during the June 14 trading session when volume surged to 107.6 million XRP—more than four times the daily average—pushing price through resistance near $1.14, according to CoinDesk. Momentum carried into the close, with XRP briefly reaching $1.1928 before consolidating above $1.18.
XRP-linked ETFs have attracted roughly $1.4 billion in cumulative inflows since launching, with May marking the strongest month of institutional demand so far, according to CoinDesk’s analysis. The token is now showing signs of building a base rather than staging a brief rebound, with buyers pushing through key technical levels on the strongest volume seen since the recent sell-off began.
Six Weeks of Consecutive Inflows
XRP spot ETFs recorded inflows for six consecutive weeks through June 12, lifting cumulative inflows to $1.44 billion since launch, according to Whale Alert. For the week ending June 12 alone, XRP ETFs captured a net inflow of $10.68 million, marking the second week in a row of positive flows, according to Bitget.
This sustained institutional demand stands in contrast to the broader crypto market. While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have faced outflows in recent weeks, XRP continues to attract capital from institutional investors, underscoring a rotation of money into the token despite broader market weakness. More than 25 million XRP recently left exchanges, extending a trend suggesting long-term holders are accumulating despite the correction, CoinDesk reported.
Whale addresses holding significant XRP balances climbed to a record high, reinforcing the view that larger investors have been adding exposure during the recent decline. This alignment of institutional ETF inflows and whale accumulation represents a rare convergence of buying pressure across multiple investor classes.
What Traders Are Watching
The recovery remains constructive as long as XRP holds above its recent breakout levels. Support sits at $1.18, followed by the more important $1.14–$1.15 zone that has now flipped from resistance to support, according to CoinDesk. The immediate target is $1.20, a psychological level that could attract profit-taking after the recent rally.
Above that, attention shifts to the $1.27–$1.30 area, where several Fibonacci and trendline resistance levels converge. A move back below $1.14 would weaken the bullish case and raise questions about whether the rally was simply another short-covering bounce rather than a sustainable recovery.
