XRP News Today: Institutional Confidence Drives XRP Surge While ETFs Connect Conventional Finance and Crypto
- XRP rebounds above $2.20 after ETF launches boost liquidity and institutional trust. - Standard Chartered partners with 21Shares to custody XRP ETPs, bridging traditional-crypto finance. - Technical indicators show bullish momentum toward $2.60 target despite whale selling pressure. - ETF-driven market structure changes enable regulated institutional access to XRP.
XRP, currently the third-largest digital asset by market value, has bounced back from a crucial support range between $2.00 and $1.96, reigniting confidence among market participants and experts.

Despite a 50% gain over the past year, its current price of $2.20（UTC+8） is still below the $3.00–$3.40（UTC+8） range seen in late summer. If XRP can successfully break through $2.60（UTC+8）, it may prompt a reassessment, especially if ETF inflows continue to outweigh large-scale sell-offs. For now, the market is closely watching whether Standard Chartered’s custodial role and the ETF boom can help stabilize XRP’s price swings and draw sustained institutional investment.
