XRP NEWS — AUGUST 26, 2026
XRP is cooling off today after an explosive run, but there’s still plenty happening behind the scenes.
XRP is trading around $1.41–$1.44, down roughly 5% over the last 24 hours according to Kraken. But don’t forget the bigger picture: XRP is still up roughly 40%+ over the past week after recently reaching about $1.70. (kraken.com)
ETF MONEY KEEPS COMING: U.S. spot XRP ETFs just recorded their 9th consecutive trading day of net inflows, adding another $23.87 million and pushing cumulative inflows to roughly $1.59 BILLION. (u.today)
XRPL ACTIVITY EXPLODING: Active addresses on the XRP Ledger reportedly jumped from about 47,000 to more than 356,000 between August 10 and August 24 — an increase of roughly 650%. (cryptonews.com)
INSTITUTIONAL USE: Ripple, JPMorgan, Mastercard and Ondo Finance reportedly completed a pilot involving real-time cross-border settlement of tokenized U.S. Treasuries on the XRP Ledger. (kraken.com)
So yes, XRP is pulling back today after a massive rally. Profit-taking after a 40%+ weekly move isn’t exactly shocking.
The question now: Is this just XRP catching its breath before the next move?
I’m watching $1.40 support and that $1.50 area very closely.
