XRP's price increased recently due to a combination of factors: tightening supply on exchanges from large inflows into spot XRP ETFs, institutional accumulation, and whale activity. ETFs have absorbed approximately $1.14 billion worth of XRP, reducing liquid supply available for trading. On August 21, 2026, XRP surged nearly 18% to $1.31, driven by a short squeeze, increased accumulation by large holders, and positive regulatory developments including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse's meeting with President Trump. The broader cryptocurrency market recovery also contributed to the rally.
