Ripple’s native cross-border token stole the show on Tuesday, surging by double digits to a new seven-week peak of over $2.40 before it slipped slightly to just below that level.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the possible reasons behind the asset’s recent resurgence, which drove it from under $1.85 to $2.40 in the span of just several days.<\/p>\n
Although the entire crypto market has shown signs of revival since the start of the new year, XRP’s performance has dwarfed that of many of its larger-cap competitors. Perhaps the most evident reason behind its surge past $2.00 is the overall inflows<\/a> into the spot Ripple ETFs, as the financial vehicles’ green streak has continued for nearly two months since the first one saw the light of day.<\/p>\n January 5 was a particularly positive day, with $46.10 million entering the funds. In fact, this was the highest single-day inflow recorded since December 3. Overall, the five spot XRP ETFs have attracted $1.23 billion in net inflows since November 13.<\/p>\n The second reason could be related to the declining XRP reserves<\/a> on centralized exchanges. Data from Glassnode and CryptoQuant show a trend in which the number of tokens sitting on trading platforms has dropped by almost 60% since the October 2025 peak, to around 1.8 billion coins. Such moves are considered bullish for the underlying asset as they reduce the immediate selling pressure.<\/p>\n In third place comes the recent behavior by whales. These large market participants went on a massive selling spree since October, disposing of<\/a> several billion tokens by the end of the year. However, their holdings have stabilized over the past week or so, and there have been no reports of large sell-offs.<\/p>\n After surging by roughly 30% in a week, analysts have rushed to offer their views on what comes next for XRP’s price. CryptoWZRD noted<\/a> earlier today that both trading pairs, against USD and BTC, have “rallied strongly as anticipated,” and predicted that “further upside is likely, which will help XRP push higher.”<\/p>\n CW claimed that the token has now broken out of a familiar structure and aims to surge toward its 2018 all-time high of $3.40. If it breaks through, the analyst predicted that the rocket will launch even further as there are no further resistance levels above.<\/p>\n $XRP<\/a> is steadily rising toward its previous resistance level, the ATH.<\/p>\n The rocket will launches from the ATH. A breakout of the ATH means there are no further resistance levels.<\/p>\n The current situation is like installing a rocket on the launch pad. pic.twitter.com\/PNUu1sYoNp<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 CW (@CW8900) January 6, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The post 3 Reasons Behind XRP’s Massive Surge and What’s Next for Ripple’s Price<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat’s Next?<\/h2>\n
