XRP was trading near $1.42 after a 3.2% drop over the previous day, leaving the token about 6% below its recent peak of $1.50. Despite the pullback, several indicators point to strengthening accumulation activity.
Spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded $25.8 million in net inflows on May 11, the strongest single-day performance since January 5. The inflows extend a five-consecutive-day positive flow streak, bringing total cumulative inflows to an all-time high of $1.35 billion.
Bitwise, Franklin, and Grayscale accounted for most of the inflow activity. Based on SoSoValue tracking data, May’s aggregate net investments into XRP ETFs have already surpassed $60 million.
CoinShares reported that, for the week ended May 8, XRP exchange-traded products attracted $40 million in new capital. Year-to-date 2026 net inflows reached $191 million, while assets under management rose to $2.5 billion.
James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, described the momentum as a notable acceleration, citing anticipation around developments related to the U.S. CLARITY Act.
On the policy front, Sen. Tim Scott’s Senate Banking Committee scheduled an executive session for May 14 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern to review the CLARITY Act. The legislation is intended to set clearer classification standards for digital assets, including distinguishing securities from commodities, and to address operational conflicts between traditional banking institutions and crypto firms—particularly around stablecoin frameworks.
The committee released a complete draft of the legislation ahead of the markup meeting. Market participants showed measured optimism, including in light of Ripple’s ongoing regulatory disputes with U.S. authorities and its continued SEC litigation.
Market observers expect the session could prompt near-term directional movement across cryptocurrency markets.
Technically, XRP’s Relative Strength Index is around 51, indicating neutral momentum. Chaikin Money Flow stands at 0.13, which is described as positive and consistent with ongoing capital accumulation.
ChartNerd pointed to a rebound from a multi-month ascending trendline support and a weekly MACD golden cross formation as conditions that could support a move toward $1.80. The analyst noted that clearing $1.47 resistance could open the way to $1.50, followed by $1.55.
Santiment Intelligence reported on X that the XRP Ledger reached a record 332,230 wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP. Santiment said this continues a growth trend that has been building since June 2024, suggesting expanding mid-to-large wallet populations and stronger conviction among long-term participants who accumulated during consolidation rather than buying driven by short-term momentum.
Additional on-chain data cited in the report states that the XRP Ledger’s 332,230 wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP represent an all-time high and reinforces the view that long-term conviction is increasing.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
