TLDR
- XRP traded near $1.03 to $1.04 on August 10, 2026, staying above its $1.00 support level.
- The CLARITY Act vote has been pushed to mid-September, removing a near-term catalyst.
- Whales added more than 380 million XRP in the past seven days, bringing total holdings to about 8.1 billion tokens.
- US-listed XRP spot ETFs hold close to $1 billion in assets, with $1.51 billion in cumulative inflows.
- Aviva Investors tokenized its USD Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger, adding to rising institutional activity.
XRP traded between $1.03 and $1.04 on August 10, 2026. The token has held above its $1.00 support level for 632 straight days.
That streak started in November 2024, after the SEC dismissed its case against Ripple Labs. Since then, $1.00 has acted as a floor during both rallies and pullbacks.
The main event traders were watching, the CLARITY Act vote, has now moved to around September 15. The bill needs 60 votes to advance, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune scheduled it after the August recess.
Grayscale research chief Zach Pandl said the odds of the bill passing in 2026 look thin given election-year politics. That leaves XRP without a clear regulatory catalyst for now.
Whale Buying and ETF Flows
Large XRP holders bought more than 380 million tokens over the past week. Total whale holdings now sit near 8.1 billion XRP, about 13% of the circulating supply.
XRP Price on CoinGeckoOn-chain tracker RippleXity said this buying has concentrated around the $1.00 level. US spot XRP ETFs now hold close to $1 billion in assets, with $1.51 billion in inflows since launch.
Momentum readings differ depending on the source. One daily RSI reading sits in the high 30s to 40, while a separate Coinglass-based reading puts XRP’s RSI near a neutral 50, lower than Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB, which all look overbought.
A liquidation heatmap from Coinglass shows a cluster of orders built up between $1.06 and $1.07 this week. That cluster formed even as price dipped toward $1.00.
Institutional Activity on XRPL
Aviva Investors posted on X, through the account BankXRP, that it tokenized its USD Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger. The post said the fund now offers a tokenized share class aimed at institutional investors.
Real-world asset value on XRPL has grown more than 28% over the past 30 days. Stablecoin market cap on the network rose over 12% in 24 hours, pushing total stablecoin value close to $1 billion.
Analyst Ali Martinez pointed to a Tom DeMark Sequential buy signal on XRP’s monthly chart. He said a monthly close above $1.06 could open a path toward $1.35 and then $1.64.
Analyst Dark Defender flagged an oversold RSI reading after last week’s dip, calling it a possible setup for a sharp bounce once price clears $1.05. Crypto commentator Gerla said a reclaim of $1.08 could trigger a fast reversal higher.
XRP still trades below its 50-day EMA near $1.10, its 100-day EMA near $1.18, and its 200-day EMA near $1.37. All three sit above current price.
Traders are also watching two macro events this week. US inflation data for July lands August 12, followed by remarks from Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack and Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin on August 13.
