XRP's price jumped 56% in one week to $1.48, driven by large whale accumulation of 380 million tokens, $13.24 million in ETF inflows, and the SEC-CFTC joint classification of XRP as a digital commodity, which removed legal barriers for institutional investors. Seven US spot XRP ETFs now hold $1.44 billion, though this is only 1.9% of XRP's market cap, indicating room for growth compared to Bitcoin's ETF market. Ripple's upcoming Swell conference and potential CLARITY Act vote in September could further boost XRP's institutional adoption and price. However, risks remain from token supply overhang and leveraged positions.

XRP's price jumped about 53% over seven days, reaching nearly $1.54, close to a key resistance level at $1.55. This rally was supported by $39.78 million in U.S. spot XRP ETF inflows during Aug. 17–21, pushing total ETF assets to around $1.55 billion. Futures open interest also rose to $3.72 billion, indicating increased leveraged trading. Market watchers are focused on whether XRP can break above $1.55, which could trigger further gains, or if it will retreat to support around $1.45. The surge in active addresses by over 650% signals heightened network activity and potential volatility ahead.
