The token moved between $1.41 and $1.47, with daily volume at about $2.21 billion. That keeps price close to the $1.45 and $1.50 resistance area watched by traders.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, daily net inflows stood at $0 on May 13, after reaching $5.31 million on May 12, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-xrp-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">according<\/a> to SoSoValue data. Cumulative net inflows stayed near $1.36 billion, while total net assets slipped from $1.16 billion to $1.14 billion.<\/p>\n<p>That pause came after a stronger ETF session. Recent coverage said U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded $25.8 million in combined net inflows on May 11, the highest daily figure since Jan. 5. Franklin Templeton\u2019s XRPZ led with $13.6 million, followed by Bitwise and Grayscale.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wallet data supports the accumulation story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Santiment said XRP Ledger wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP reached a record 332,230. The firm said the trend has built since June 2024, even as XRP spent much of 2026 below earlier highs.<\/p>\n<p>Santiment also kept caution around a February wallet drop. The firm said, \u201cthere does not appear to be one confirmed XRP-specific event directly tied to it.\u201d It linked the timing to the broader market crash and liquidations, but stopped short of naming one XRP-only cause.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>XRP price eyes $1.50<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The main price catalyst remains a confirmed move above resistance. Breakout above $1.45 could validate a triangle setup and open the path toward $1.90, with $2 as the next key level. Another update showed analysts watching $1.50 for confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Ecosystem catalysts are also building. Recent coverage said XRPL plans native lending pools and programmable escrow tools for on-chain credit markets. The same reporting thread noted Ripple\u2019s pilot with JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance for a tokenized Treasury settlement workflow tied to XRPL infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Garlinghouse has also <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Ripple\/status\/2054698202604122182\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">framed<\/a> XRP as a payments-focused asset, citing settlement speeds of 3 to 5 seconds, low costs, and more than 4 billion completed transactions. That message supports the utility narrative, but traders still need the chart to confirm demand.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
