Ripple’s XRP is trading just above the $2 mark today as a wave of spot ETF demand, a dovish Federal Reserve outlook, and fresh institutional adoption headlines keep the token in the spotlight. At the time of writing, XRP changes hands around $2.18–$2.20, down roughly 1% in the last 24 hours but still more than 50% higher than this time a year ago. YCharts
Meanwhile, a cluster of new reports and analyses published today, November 26, 2025 paint a picture of a market that is volatile, highly institutional, and still positioned for a possible push toward the $2.35–$2.60 resistance zone. FXEmpire

XRP price today: range, momentum and context
Data from institutional price feeds and market analytics puts today’s spot XRP price near $2.18 with an intraday high around $2.23 and a low near $2.15. CoinGecko
YCharts estimates XRP at $2.199, about 1.1% lower than yesterday’s close but ~55% above its level one year ago, underscoring how far the token has run since late 2024 despite recent pullbacks. YCharts
In Canadian terms, CoinGecko quotes 1 XRP ≈ CA$3.06, with a 24‑hour range matching the roughly $2.15–$2.23 band in USD. Trading volume over the past day is reported at around CA$5.7 billion, highlighting robust liquidity and active participation from both institutional desks and retail traders. CoinGecko
Despite this depth, XRP still trades about 40% below its July 2025 all‑time high near $3.65, reached shortly after the conclusion of its long‑running SEC lawsuit and the first wave of ETF optimism. Nasdaq
ETF flows dominate today’s XRP narrative
The single biggest driver of today’s XRP conversation is the U.S. spot XRP ETF complex.
$622m in cumulative inflows, $2.60 on the radar
A detailed market piece published today reports that U.S. spot XRP ETFs have now drawn over $622 million in cumulative net inflows, led by issuers such as Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Grayscale and Canary. Coin Edition
Key points from that coverage:
- Cumulative net inflows stand at about $622.1 million, with total net assets near $644 million across all U.S. spot XRP products. Coin Edition
- Recent trading sessions saw individual issuers add tens of millions of XRP in a single day, tightening available supply on the open market. Coin Edition
- Analyst Ali Martinez suggests that if XRP can break and hold above the $2.35 resistance, the current structure supports a move toward $2.60, the midpoint of its established trading channel. Coin Edition
CoinDesk’s earlier reporting from yesterday (Nov 25) showed XRP surging about 7% in its strongest breakout in weeks as Ripple‑linked ETFs went live on NYSE Arca, with Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ and Grayscale’s GXRP launching to strong institutional participation. CoinDesk
Daily inflows: from first‑day spike to “test of staying power”
Pintu News, in an article updated today, notes that:
- Franklin Templeton and Grayscale’s XRP ETFs attracted around $130 million on their first day.
- Net inflows into U.S. XRP ETFs reached about $164 million on Monday, helping offset heavy whale profit‑taking and supporting price gains of more than 7% in a handful of trading windows. Pintu
FXEmpire’s daily XRP update today frames this week as a “tug‑of‑war” between profit‑taking and ETF demand. The outlet highlights:
- XRP giving back part of Monday’s rally as traders lock in gains.
- XRP‑spot ETF inflows of around $164 million on a single day, but slightly below some bullish expectations.
- The $2.35 level emerging as a key resistance zone that ETF inflows need to overcome for the uptrend to resume. FXEmpire
Taken together, today’s ETF‑heavy headlines show a market where institutional flows, not just retail speculation, are increasingly dictating XRP’s daily moves.
Macro backdrop: dovish Fed, risk appetite and XRP
XRP’s price today is also being traded against a shifting macro backdrop:
- FXEmpire points to softer U.S. labor and retail data and a drop in producer price inflation, which have nudged market expectations toward a December Fed rate cut. The CME FedWatch Tool now shows probabilities in the mid‑80% range for a cut, compared with about 50% a week earlier. FXEmpire
- Lower expected rates tend to favor risk assets like cryptocurrencies by reducing the appeal of cash and Treasuries relative to higher‑beta plays.
This macro shift matters for XRP because the token has recently decoupled at times from Bitcoin, especially around ETF headlines: XRP rallied strongly on ETF launches even as BTC products saw net outflows in November. FXEmpire
Post‑SEC clarity: how regulation now shapes XRP price
The SEC vs. Ripple saga, which weighed on XRP for nearly five years, formally ended in August 2025, with both sides dropping appeals and U.S. courts confirming that XRP trading on secondary markets is not in itself an unregistered securities offering. Capital
Recent analyses from Capital.com, MEXC and Nasdaq highlight several consequences of that regulatory clarity:
- Relisting on top exchanges and a surge in liquidity. Nasdaq
- A competitive rush among more than 10 major asset managers to secure spot XRP ETF approvals, with some commentators assigning very high approval odds for additional products by the end of 2025. MEXC
- XRP hitting a new record high above $3.40–$3.65 in July 2025 before the current consolidation phase began. Nasdaq
Today’s price action around $2.20 therefore unfolds in a very different environment than earlier cycles: XRP is now treated as a fully “institutional‑grade” asset with ETF wrappers, treasury use‑cases and clearer U.S. legal status.
Institutional adoption: bank charter, GTreasury research and RLUSD
Several pieces of news dated November 26, 2025 focus less on the candlesticks and more on XRP’s structural role in global finance.
Ripple’s bid for a U.S. bank charter
A deep‑dive article from AInvest today revisits Ripple’s application for a U.S. bank charter filed in July 2025 and explores how full banking status could change XRP’s role:
- A charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) would allow Ripple to provide regulated custody and fiduciary services, including for its RLUSD stablecoin. AInvest
- The piece argues that if approved, XRP could be used more widely as a settlement and collateral asset inside a regulated banking stack, potentially deepening institutional demand over time. AInvest
Teucrium’s CEO, in a separate interview covered by The Crypto Basic today, calls Ripple a “machine” and suggests that XRP’s ecosystem is evolving into a modern rival to global banks like JPMorgan, especially once the banking license is secured. He stresses that Ripple has little incentive to aggressively sell its XRP holdings if the asset underpins its long‑term strategy. The Crypto Basic
GTreasury report: XRP named a “high‑efficiency” institutional asset
Coinpedia reports today on a joint Ripple–GTreasury study that profiles digital assets in corporate treasury workflows:
- The report highlights that blockchain‑based payment systems are already being used in live production by financial institutions, not just pilots.
- XRP is presented as a fast, liquid settlement asset sitting alongside stablecoins and smart‑contract rails in modern treasury infrastructures. Coinpedia Fintech News
- The authors emphasize 24/7 payments, instant cross‑border settlement and reduced fees as primary advantages compared with legacy correspondent banking. Coinpedia Fintech News
RLUSD and collateral use
A report from Bitcoin.com notes that Ripple is working to position XRP and its RLUSD stablecoin as prime‑broker collateral, signaling a push into the heart of institutional capital markets. While the article requires JavaScript for full details, its summary stresses “a new wave of institutional adoption” as these assets move into collateral roles traditionally occupied by cash and Treasuries. Bitcoin News
Taken together, these November 26 headlines suggest that today’s price around $2.20 is being traded against a steadily deepening institutional story, not just speculation.
Market psychology: from sub‑$2 panic to cautious optimism
One of today’s more retail‑focused updates, from Indonesian exchange Pintu, zooms in on the emotional roller‑coaster XRP holders have faced in recent weeks:
- During a sharp October sell‑off linked to broader market fears and trade tensions, XRP briefly fell below $2, with some exchanges printing intraday wicks as low as $1.40 and even $0.76 on extreme volatility. Pintu
- Within 72 hours, XRP rebounded more than 18%, showing how quickly sentiment can shift once large buyers step in. Pintu
- On‑chain data cited in the article suggests whales unloaded over 180 million XRP, yet ETF inflows and institutional demand were strong enough to absorb much of that supply. Pintu
Analysts quoted by Pintu highlight support levels at $1.95, $1.75 and $1.60 and float long‑term upside scenarios toward $4 and even double‑digit prices by 2026–2027, though these are highly conditional projections. Pintu
For now, the article notes, “true XRP holders” – long‑term investors who understand the asset’s fundamentals – appear more willing to weather volatility, while short‑term traders are frequently shaken out during sharp downturns. Pintu
Technical levels to watch for the rest of November 26
Putting today’s analysis together, multiple research shops converge on a similar technical picture:
- Immediate resistance:
- $2.35 – widely flagged as the first major hurdle. A convincing break and close above could open a path toward $2.50–$2.60. FXEmpire
- Next resistance zone:
- Around $2.60, seen as the midpoint of XRP’s prevailing channel and the target of several bullish ETF‑driven forecasts for today’s and this week’s trading. Coin Edition
- Support levels:
In short, today’s $2.18–$2.20 trading zone sits almost exactly between heavily contested support and resistance bands. Price direction into the U.S. close is likely to be dominated by:
- Updated ETF flow data for today’s session. FXEmpire
- Any shift in expectations about the December Fed meeting. FXEmpire
- Headlines around Ripple’s bank charter review and broader crypto legislation in the U.S. Congress. AInvest
Risk reminder
XRP remains highly volatile, and today’s relatively small intraday move masks the fact that the token has swung dozens of percentage points in both directions over recent weeks. ETF launches, macro surprises and regulatory headlines can all trigger sharp spikes or deep drawdowns in a matter of hours.
Nothing in this article is financial advice. Anyone considering exposure to XRP or XRP‑linked products should:
- Do independent research.
- Understand personal risk tolerance.
- Be prepared for significant price swings, both up and down.
For now, on November 26, 2025, XRP sits at the center of one of crypto’s most intense tug‑of‑wars: institutional adoption and ETF demand on one side, profit‑taking and macro uncertainty on the other – with price hovering near $2.20 while traders watch $2.35 and $2.60 for the next big move.
