XRP traded near $1.10 as spot ETF inflows continued to rise, but the token did not produce a sustained breakout during the latest trading week. The price action remained largely range-bound even as reported institutional demand strengthened.

According to SoSoValue, XRP spot ETFs posted $8.15 million in net inflows during the July 20 to July 24 trading week. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ accounted for the largest share, with $5.66 million in weekly net inflows, raising its cumulative inflows to $421 million. Bitwise followed with $2.49 million, bringing its cumulative total to $501 million.

Total net assets across XRP spot ETFs now stand at $997 million, while cumulative historical net inflows have reached $1.49 billion. ETF assets represent about 1.46% of XRP’s total market capitalization. The figures point to continued accumulation through ETF products, even as the spot market has remained confined to a narrow range. For readers tracking ETF data, net inflows show demand for regulated investment products, but they are only one part of broader market liquidity and do not automatically translate into a proportional spot price move.

The absence of a lasting price reaction after an eight-figure week of ETF demand suggests that fresh capital is being met by available supply. As a result, the near-term setup remains more complicated than the inflow data alone indicates. A sustained breakout would depend on buyers absorbing that supply and pushing XRP beyond its recent resistance area.

XRP Remains in a Narrow Range Around $1.10

XRP remains tightly range-bound. The $1.10 level has acted as the lower edge of immediate demand, while $1.11 has capped recent buying pressure. Despite consistent ETF inflows, the token has struggled to build stronger momentum. XRP is up roughly 1.2% over the past seven days, a modest move relative to the scale of reported institutional inflows.

XRP’s market capitalization is about $69.1 billion. At that size, sustained buying is generally required to produce a meaningful move in spot prices. In that context, weekly ETF net inflows of about $8 million remain limited relative to the token’s overall market value. The ETF asset base sitting just below $1 billion is still notable because it provides a measurable gauge of institutional product adoption, even if the size remains small compared with XRP’s full market capitalization.

Three near-term scenarios frame the current setup. In a bullish case, ETF assets move decisively above the $1 billion mark and buyers reclaim resistance at $1.11. In a base case, XRP continues trading between $1.10 and $1.11 while retail participation remains muted. In a bearish case, a break below $1.10 could bring the psychological $1.00 level into focus if selling pressure increases.

For market participants tracking short-term levels, the demand zone around $1.10 and resistance near $1.11 remain the key areas. A convincing close above resistance accompanied by strong volume would change the technical picture. Until then, range trading remains the dominant feature of XRP’s price action.

LiquidChain Cited as an Early-Stage Infrastructure Project

The article also highlighted LiquidChain, an L3 infrastructure project positioned around the goal of combining Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity within a single execution environment. The project says its approach is intended to address fragmentation that can require developers to choose between separate ecosystems.

LiquidChain’s architecture includes a Unified Liquidity Layer, Single-Step Execution, Verifiable Settlement, and a Deploy-Once design. These features are presented as tools for addressing cross-chain coordination issues affecting DeFi protocols. In the broader crypto infrastructure market, cross-chain systems are often evaluated on security assumptions, settlement design, developer adoption, and live usage, making those areas important to monitor as early-stage projects move from stated architecture to deployed networks.

The LiquidChain presale is currently priced at $0.01484, with $920K raised to date. The project is being discussed alongside broader interest in crypto infrastructure as ETF flows continue to show institutional participation in digital asset markets.
