Retail investors bet on XRP rising
This week, analytics platform Santiment revealed a notable shift in investor sentiment towards XRP on social media.
Optimistic discussions dominated specialized channels, notably on Telegram, Discord and X, placing this period among the seven most bullish of the year.
XRP is currently moving around the psychological mark of 2 dollars, a level which crystallizes the confrontation between buyers and sellers.
Over the past seven days, the crypto has navigated a range between $1.99 and $2.17, demonstrating relative stability despite the crypto market's usual volatility. On Saturday, the token was trading at $2.03 according to data from CoinGecko.
This renewed confidence of individual investors contrasts with the periods of doubt which marked the start of the year. “ XRP buyers and sellers continue to clash “, notes Santiment, emphasizing that “the general sentiment on social networks is bullish”.
ETFs confirm institutional enthusiasm
Interest in XRP is not limited to retail investors. Exchange-traded funds dedicated to this crypto are enjoying resounding success with an uninterrupted 19-day streak of net inflows.
On Friday, these investment vehicles captured more than $20.1 million more, bringing cumulative inflows to nearly $974.5 million.
The peak remains November 14, when XRP ETFs saw record inflows of $243 million. This impressive momentum has propelled total assets under management to approximately $1.18 billion.
Giannis Andreou, founder of Bitmern Mining, observes that “Wall Street has not stopped buying”, evoking “the type of accumulation that we generally observe before a change in discourse”.
Ripple is also increasing its strategic initiatives at the end of the year. The company obtained national trust bank approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Friday, joining Circle in this very exclusive club.
By November, Ripple had already raised $500 million at a valuation of $40 billion, attracting heavyweights like Citadel Securities and Fortress Investment Group.
The alignment of bullish sentiment on social media and massive institutional flows into ETFs paints a favorable picture for XRP. With the receipt of strategic regulatory approvals and institutional accumulation, Ripple's crypto appears well positioned to enter 2026.
