Ripple edges up above $1.40 on growing institutional, retail demand

Ripple ($XRP) maintains a neutral-to-bullish tone, trading above $1.41 at the time of writing on Thursday, supported by renewed institutional and retail interest. A steady price increase could accelerate the remittance token toward the next resistance levels at $1.50 and $1.55.

Still, traders should temper their expectations, given that the immediate supply around $1.41 could absorb the gains.

$XRP growing institutional and retail interest boosts recovery outlook

Institutional investors are showing renewed interest in digital investment products, evidenced by US-listed $XRP spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) recording approximately $17 million in inflows on Wednesday, up from roughly $11 million the previous day.

Cumulative inflows currently stand at $1.25 billion, with net assets under management averaging $1.02 billion, according to SoSoValue data. If inflows into the spot ETFs continue , prices could steadily increase, with $XRP grinding toward the $1.50 psychological level.

Similarly, retail demand has expanded this week, steadying the $XRP derivatives market. The Open Interest (OI), reflecting the notional value of outstanding futures and options contracts, rose to $2.58 billion on Thursday from $2.51 billion the previous day. The return of retail investors, albeit gradual, suggests growing conviction in $XRP’s ability to sustain upward price action in the short- to medium-term.

Everything Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Has Said About XRP in 2026

$XRP is trading well below its January highs. The broader crypto market has been volatile, geopolitical uncertainty has kept risk appetite suppressed, and the regulatory clarity that everyone has been waiting for keeps getting pushed back by a few more weeks.

None of that has moved Brad Garlinghouse.

The Ripple CEO has given a string of major public appearances in 2026, and the message has been remarkably consistent across all of them. Not defensive. Not cautious. Quietly confident in a way that either shows conviction or extraordinary discipline, possibly both.

January: Davos and the Institutional Gap

Garlinghouse opened 2026 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he framed $XRP not as a speculative asset but as neutral financial infrastructure for a world increasingly fragmented by sanctions and geopolitical tension.

He pointed to stablecoin transaction volume growing from $19 trillion in 2024 to $33 trillion in 2025, roughly 75% year-over-year growth, as evidence that the infrastructure story was already playing out in the numbers. At the same time, he made a point of noting that institutional interest from firms like BlackRock and Vanguard had not yet been fully reflected in prices.

“I don’t think institutional interest is priced into the crypto market as much as I would have expected right now,” he said.

$XRP was pulling back from around $2.40 toward $1.85 at the time. He did not flinch.
