Ripple-backed cryptocurrency, XRP, also drew notable attention amid the positive developments surrounding spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs). XRP attracted $10.5 million in inflows last week with a year-to-date inflow of $256.5 million, signaling renewed interest in alternative large-cap assets.

This fresh wave of capital inflows, especially into ETH and XRP, suggests that growing investor confidence is returning. Whether this momentum continues would depend on macroeconomic and emerging market conditions.
However, technical analysis shows that ETH’s price is on the verge of breaking out above $2,000. At the time of writing, ETH and XRP are trading at $1,814 and $2.14, respectively.
