XRP returned to center stage on Monday after a powerful mix of record-breaking ETF activity and a fresh update from RLUSD.
This also came as XRP prices jumped sharply, supported by rising demand for crypto exchange-traded funds and a more positive mood across the wider digital asset market.
XRP ETFs See Their Strongest Session Yet
XRP-linked ETFs delivered their busiest trading day since they first launched, making them the best-performing crypto ETFs of the session.
Combined trading volume climbed to more than $60 million. The biggest share of activity came from Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF, while products from Bitwise and Canary Capital also recorded heavy turnover.
The surge shows growing interest from investors who want exposure to XRP through regulated financial products rather than direct token purchases. Attention is now turning to whether global giants such as BlackRock could eventually enter the XRP or Solana ETF space.
XRP Price Rallies Alongside Rising Volumes
XRP jumped close to 12% in the past 24 hours, trading around $2.38. Its market capitalization rose to roughly $142 billion, while daily trading volume expanded to about $8.5 billion.
On a weekly basis, XRP has gained more than 30%, placing it among the top-performing major cryptocurrencies so far this year.
The rally did not happen in isolation. Bitcoin and other large digital assets also moved higher, helping lift overall market confidence.
Ripple Pushes RLUSD Across More Blockchains
At the same time, Ripple revealed that its dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, is rolling out to additional blockchain networks using cross-chain infrastructure from Wormhole.
In a recent blog update, Ripple said stablecoins are becoming a key building block for blockchain-based payments, especially for institutions that need predictable value when transferring funds across borders.
Because stablecoins are backed by cash and similar assets, they avoid the sharp price swings seen in most cryptocurrencies. Ripple added that RLUSD is built for fast settlement, low transaction costs, and seamless use across multiple networks, including the XRP Ledger.
XRP Price Prediction
If XRP can hold above the $2.20–$2.25 range, analysts say the next test sits near $2.60. A clean break above that level could open the door toward $3.00 in the short term, especially if ETF inflows remain strong. On the downside, losing $2.20 could lead to a temporary pullback toward $2.00 before buyers step in again.
