XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) ETFs have posted four straight days of inflows totaling roughly $15.4 million, yet the chart points toward $1 if the $1.05 floor breaks.

The Number Bigger Than ETF Inflows That Nobody Is Talking About

Crypto commentator Evernorth flagged on X that tokenized real-world assets on the XRP Ledger have grown from $73 million in January 2025 to $4.3 billion as of August 2, a nearly 60x increase in 19 months, according to RWA.xyz data.

That figure is nearly three times larger than the $1.5 billion in cumulative spot XRP ETF inflows since November 2025, according to SoSoValue

The growth accelerated sharply from $617 million in October 2025 to $1.94 billion by January 2026, more than doubling again by April 2026.

Four Days Of ETF Inflows Into A Struggling Chart

XRP ETFs recorded inflows across four consecutive sessions with institutions buying into weakness rather than waiting for price confirmation.

Date Daily Inflow

Why Japan Could Be The Next Catalyst For XRP

Crypto commentator EGRAG CRYPTO argued in an X thread that Japan’s central bank faces a choice between keeping rates low and watching the yen weaken further, or raising them and destabilizing its government bond market. 

The author proposed the XRP Ledger as a third option, not to replace the yen but to reduce the capital Japanese institutions must park in foreign currencies for cross-border payments.

By routing payments through XRP as a bridge asset, Japanese institutions could free up trapped liquidity and ease pressure on the yen without a disruptive all-at-once sell-off of foreign assets. 

The thread noted the Bank of Japan is already exploring tokenized settlement infrastructure through Project Agorá but has not endorsed XRP specifically, and that the vision depends on regulation, deep liquidity, and institutional integration.

XRP Price Analysis: Will The $1.05 Floor Hold Or Is $1 Next?

XRP holds around $1.08 Monday, sitting at the apex of a descending triangle that has compressed price for more than two months. 

The Parabolic SAR at $1.1468 remains above price and all four EMAs stack bearishly overhead. 

Descending triangles statistically break to the downside, with the $1.05 floor the only level standing between current price and $1.00.

Key XRP Levels — August 3, 2026

Type Price Why It Matters
Resistance $1.15 Parabolic SAR — bearish above price
Resistance $1.09 20-day EMA — a break above with volume would be the surprise
Support $1.05 Triangle floor — critical support, last line before $1
Support $1 Next target if $1.05 fails — no visible support between $1.05 and $1
