The digital asset XRP surpassed the 2.12 dollar barrier this Monday, breaking a key resistance level with significantly high trading volume. This bullish move coincides with an XRP exchange supply that is currently at its lowest levels in several years. According to analyst Shaurya Malwa, this combination of factors suggests a tightening of supply that could amplify the next price increases.
Institutional demand has maintained a constructive trajectory, especially through spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. These financial products added 13.59 million dollars in new capital inflows over the last week, absorbing much of the circulating liquidity. This constant flow has been fundamental to sustaining the price during periods of high volatility in the traditional open market.
Likewise, the market capitalization of the asset rose to 121.7 billion dollars in the current session, reflecting massive participation. Network data shows that daily transactions on the XRP Ledger are approaching the one million mark again, strengthening the narrative of real utility. Therefore, the current momentum seems to be backed by solid fundamentals and not solely by the usual retail speculation.
How will the scarcity of institutional liquidity affect the price of XRP in 2026?
From a technical perspective, the asset managed to invalidate the 2.10 dollar ceiling with a volume 47.6% higher than the average. This confirmation is vital, as resistance breakouts with low participation often fail quickly in markets as dynamic as the current one. After surpassing this level, the price has entered a tight consolidation phase to validate its new operational supports.
On the other hand, the market structure remains constructive as long as the price stays above the “line in the sand” of 2.128 dollars. If this support level manages to hold, traders will look to test the next supply zone located between 2.15 and 2.16 dollars. In this way, the scarcity of assets available on trading platforms acts as a catalyst that accelerates any buying pressure.
However, if the immediate support fails, there is a risk of a pullback toward the lower limit of the range at 2.06 dollars. Nevertheless, the accelerated reduction of the XRP exchange supply raises the odds that breakouts will extend faster than expected. Institutional investors seem to be positioning themselves for the long term, withdrawing their cryptocurrencies to cold wallets and regulated custody solutions to avoid direct exposure.
Finally, the success of this trend will depend on whether the asset manages to establish a solid base above 2.13 dollars in the coming days. The convergence between ETF inflows and low available liquidity is redefining the market structure permanently. Therefore, the outlook for XRP looks optimistic as long as demand institutional continues to exceed the replacement speed of inventories on global platforms.
