XRP tops $1.18 after ETF news, eyes on $1.20 next

New York, June 15, 2026, 06:49 EDT

  • XRP hovered around $1.19, gaining about 3.5% in the past 24 hours. CoinMarketCap put daily volume at $1.47 billion and showed a market cap near $73.6 billion.
  • XRP broke through the $1.14-$1.15 resistance, a zone that previously held off sellers.
  • The SEC has approved NYSE Arca’s multi-asset crypto ETF proposal, making XRP one of the eligible assets for the fund. The ETF won’t be limited to XRP.

XRP moved higher today with buyers stepping back into large-cap crypto, sending the token above a short-term resistance level. CoinMarketCap showed XRP at $1.19, up 3.46% in 24 hours. Market value was at about $73.6 billion based on circulating supply. The token stayed at No. 6 and traded from $1.13 to $1.19 in the past day.

XRP traded higher as new technical and regulated-access factors emerged. CoinDesk said XRP moved from $1.1503 to $1.1866 during a 24-hour span. Volume picked up at 21:00 UTC on June 14, sending the price through resistance near $1.14. That level had held back moves before. Traders then waited to see if $1.14 would flip to support.

ETF details are crucial here. The SEC cleared NYSE Arca on June 12 to list the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF. This is an active fund, set to hold anywhere from five to 15 crypto assets. According to the SEC order, XRP is a possible holding, along with bitcoin, ether, solana, and others. That approval could open XRP to institutions, but there’s no guarantee on allocations or any fast buying. The ETF lets investors tap into crypto through brokerage accounts.

XRP moved back above a near-term mark, with ETF products linked to the token pulling in roughly $1.4 billion. CoinDesk also reported over 25 million XRP leaving exchanges—traders say that could mean less supply for fast sales. Still, XRP has failed to keep above $1.18 or push through $1.20 so far, and there’s tough resistance around $1.27 to $1.30. The price picks up on buying and drops when sellers show up or if support weakens. So the recent jump in XRP isn’t looking like a clean signal yet.

XRP doesn’t have earnings or a P/E, so calling it “cheap” or “expensive” doesn’t fit. It’s a risky trade and doesn’t look attractive or well-priced on the current numbers. The view could shift if ETF buyers stay in and XRP keeps above the $1.14–$1.15 breakout mark. Traders are focused on the T. Rowe Price ETF call now, watching to see if there’s any actual allocation. XRP has to break above $1.20 and not fall back to its old range.
