XRP is holding above $1.45 as the market enters a pivotal week shaped by Thursday’s Senate Banking Committee vote on the CLARITY Act — legislation that carries direct implications for XRP’s regulatory standing and the broader framework governing digital assets in the United States. The price is constructive, and an Arab Chain analysis tracking Binance order flow has added a layer of structural context to the current setup that the price level alone cannot provide. Related Reading: XRP Breaks $1.46 Despite $434M In Futures Selling – Discover What Comes Next The analysis examines the 30-day correlation between XRP’s price and its Cumulative Volume Delta — a measure of whether price movements are being supported by genuine buying activity or driven by thinner, more speculative forces. Over the past several days, that correlation coefficient rose to approximately 0.58, its highest recent reading and a level that reflects a meaningful improvement in the relationship between price and order flow. When the correlation reaches this territory, it typically indicates that the price advances occurring are being backed by real buy orders rather than simply the absence of sellers in a low-liquidity environment. For XRP holders watching the $1.45 level ahead of Thursday, that reading matters. A price holding key support with genuine buy order support beneath it is a structurally different condition than a price holding simply because no one is actively selling. The Arab Chain data suggests the former — but a more recent development in the flow data introduces a complication that changes the forward picture. The Buyers Came Back. Now They Are Fading The Arab Chain analysis adds the development that prevents the correlation improvement from being read as an unconditional positive. After the 30-day price-CVD correlation reached 0.58, the indicator began declining again as the CVD itself turned negative, registering approximately -10.9 million despite XRP’s price remaining relatively stable above $1.44. Sell orders have gradually outweighed buy orders without triggering a corresponding price decline. That gap between flow and price is the structural tension the analysis identifies. In a normally functioning market, the CVD turning negative while price holds stable describes one of two conditions: either genuine demand is absorbing the selling pressure and preventing the price from reflecting it, or the price is simply lagging a flow deterioration that has not yet fully expressed itself in the charts. The distinction between those two interpretations determines everything about the forward outlook. Related Reading: 21Shares Is Launching A Hyperliquid ETF: Here Is What Investors Need To Know Historically, when the price-CVD correlation weakens from an improving trend, the most common outcomes are either slower upward momentum or a period of short-term volatility before the correlation reasserts. The forward signal traders are watching is specific. A rebound in the correlation coefficient alongside a recovery in CVD would confirm that the buyer return was genuine and sustainable. Continued weakness in both metrics while price stability erodes would confirm the alternative — that the selling pressure building beneath the surface is preparing to express itself in price. Thursday’s CLARITY Act vote adds a macro catalyst that could accelerate whichever resolution the flow data is already pointing toward. XRP Holds Critical Support As Buyers Defend The $1.45 Region XRP is trading near $1.46 after extending the gradual recovery structure that has been building since the February capitulation event pushed the price briefly below $1.20. The chart shows a market that remains technically fragile in the broader context but increasingly stable in the short term, with buyers continuing to defend the $1.35–$1.45 range despite repeated tests during the last two months. One of the most important developments is XRP’s ability to hold above the 200-day moving average, currently near the $1.42 region. Price has repeatedly interacted with that level throughout April and May, and the fact that buyers continue absorbing selling pressure around it suggests the area is functioning as a genuine support zone rather than a temporary bounce level.

At the same time, XRP remains below the declining 100-day and 200-day long-term moving averages overhead, which continue to define the broader bearish structure that began after the rejection from the January highs above $2.20. The 100-day moving average near $1.70 now represents the first major resistance level bulls need to reclaim to confirm a stronger trend reversal. Volume has also remained relatively subdued compared to the panic-driven activity seen during February. That decline suggests aggressive selling pressure has weakened significantly, but it also indicates that strong speculative momentum has not fully returned yet.

XRP continues to show resilience above the crucial $1.38 support level despite recent corrective weakness. While momentum remains modest, the ongoing structure still suggests the pullback may be part of a broader bullish setup rather than the start of a deeper decline. As long as buyers defend this key zone, the possibility of another leg higher remains firmly on the table. XRP Holds Above $1.38 As Corrective Pullback Unfolds According to a recent analysis by More Crypto Online, XRP remains within a broader range-bound structure. The pullback observed since the May 10 high is currently interpreted as a corrective three-wave decline rather than a definitive trend reversal. This suggests that the recent downward pressure may be a temporary consolidation phase within the larger market cycle. Related Reading: XRP Pulls Back, But TD Sequential Flashes Buy Signal A critical component of this outlook is the defense of the key swing low situated around $1.38. More Crypto Online emphasizes that as long as this specific floor remains intact, the technical structure allows for another move higher, potentially within a diagonal pattern. Despite the possibility of an upward move, the analyst notes that current upside momentum remains relatively weak. The recent price advance bears a striking resemblance to the corrective three-wave move that followed the April 5 low. Technicians are closely monitoring the internal B-wave support zone, which lies between $1.40 and $1.42. More Crypto Online points out that this region is traditionally difficult to trade, as B-waves often fail to respect Fibonacci levels with precision. However, the internal 100% extension target near $1.41 has already been reached, which frequently serves as an ideal completion point for a corrective three-wave decline. Ultimately, the market must now prove whether it can find a firm footing within this support region to trigger the next rally phase. More Crypto Online concludes that the prevailing wave count remains valid only as long as the $1.38 level is successfully defended. Binance Spot CVD Stability Hints At Quiet XRP Accumulation Crypto analyst Xaif Crypto highlights that XRP is currently exhibiting a significant divergence as Binance spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) remains resilient despite the price hovering near local lows. This stability during a prolonged downtrend suggests that selling pressure is being met with firm underlying demand. Related Reading: XRP Momentum Fades As Bulls Fail To Hold Breakout Zone While a price drop of this duration usually triggers a sharp decline in spot volume delta, the current steady metrics suggest quiet institutional accumulation is occurring behind the scenes. Xaif Crypto highlights that a similar divergence previously served as a definitive precursor to a sharp market reversal. Given this historical precedent, the current stability in spot volume suggests that XRP may be nearing the conclusion of its consolidation phase and preparing for a trend shift.

The first Hyperliquid (HYPE) ETF debut in the US on Tuesday drew attention quickly after the fund reportedly logged more than $1 million in inflows on day one. However, trading conditions changed fast. On Wednesday, HYPE’s price fell about 4%, sliding to roughly $38 as the broader crypto market stayed under pressure throughout the week and extended the downturn. Failed Attempts At $45 Despite the near-term weakness, one analyst believes the altcoin still has a clear path to substantially higher levels once the current market cycle improves. In a Wednesday post on social media site X (formerly Twitter), market analyst McKenna argued that HYPE’s recent movement resembles a local top on the altcoin’s daily chart. Related Reading: First Hyperliquid ETF Launch: Day One Volume Hits $1.8M–Key Details According to the analysis, HYPE has tried twice to break above the closest resistance level around $45, and failed both times. McKenna pointed to what he described as a “large range” forming between roughly $35 and $50, suggesting the token may remain trapped in that band for a while as traders accumulate again. The broader weakness in the Hyperliquid token could be linked to the continuing bear-market narrative. With Bitcoin (BTC) not showing a convincing breakout from current levels, the bear thesis is still playing out. Two Views On Hyperliquid Looking further ahead, McKenna’s outlook is significantly more optimistic on a fundamentals-based horizon. He said he expects HYPE to eventually push into “three digits” before summer 2027. If Hyperliquid were to hit $100 in the coming year, that would be an increase of over 163% from current trading levels and almost double HYPE’s current price record from the previous year’s bull run, when the cryptocurrency reached about $59. Related Reading: Coinbase CEO Unpacks The Crypto Bill’s Biggest Promise For The US Financial System Still, the near-term picture may be even more challenging. Another analyst, Umair Orakzai, warned on X that the chart signals are turning increasingly bearish. Orakzai said the trendline has “broken,” and that the appearance of large candles indicates the trend is no longer intact—adding that “panic” may be starting to spread. He suggested that the “real panic” could begin if HYPE falls below $38.8. For the moment, Hyperliquid investors should focus on $35 as the next major support level. If that floor gives way, levels not seen since March—around $29—could follow. Featured image created with OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com

XRP investment products witnessed a notable spike in inflows last week. CoinShares data shows that XRP products attracted $39.6 million last week, a 1,220% jump from the modest $3 million recorded in the previous week. The move came as digital asset investment products posted their sixth straight week of inflows, bringing in $857.9 million across the market. The broader tone was helped by improving sentiment around the CLARITY Act, especially after lawmakers reached a compromise on stablecoin yield rules. Spot XRP Inflows Jump 1,220% CoinShares’ latest weekly flow data shows XRP-based exchange-traded products received $39.6 million in inflows last week, compared to only about $3 million in the prior week. That is a 1,220% increase in seven days and brings XRP’s year-to-date flow to $191 million. XRP’s assets under management also climbed to about $2.56 billion, placing it among the strongest non-Bitcoin crypto investment products in the latest report. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP At $1,000 Is Nothing Big, The Real Value Is Much Higher Bitcoin still dominated the market with $706.1 million in weekly inflows, while Ethereum recorded $77.1 million and Solana brought in $47.6 million. However, those numbers mostly reflect the larger size of their markets. XRP’s move is much more notable because it shows a sudden change in allocation behavior. Investors who had only been adding small amounts to XRP products in previous weeks stepped in with much larger sizes, pushing XRP ahead of most altcoin products outside of Ethereum and Solana. Interestingly, the regional flow data shows that the United States was the main pipeline of last week’s rebound. US-based products recorded $776.6 million in inflows, a 1,530% recovery from the previous week’s $47.5 million inflows. Germany followed with $50.6 million, Switzerland added $21.1 million, and the Netherlands recorded $5 million. XRP’s Growing Institutional Infrastructure The inflows into XRP-based products came during a period of wider inflow into crypto products. However, there were a few significant developments last week that helped contribute to a positive institutional narrative around XRP and Ripple’s entire ecosystem. Related Reading: XRP History Is About To Repeat Itself And Price Could Rally 1,008% To Cross $10 Most notably, Ripple announced the successful completion of a pilot tokenized US Treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger with JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance, processing the redemption in under five seconds. This event, which is part of the rapid growth in tokenized real-world assets, was enough to increase bullish sentiment surrounding the Ripple and XRP ecosystems. The pattern of institutional demand is also becoming more durable. April had already been the strongest monthly inflow period of 2026 for US-listed XRP ETF products, and last week’s surge suggests that momentum has carried into the new month. The CLARITY Act is also one of the biggest reasons behind the sudden improvement in fund flows across the entire market. The United States Senate Banking Committee has unveiled the draft text of the CLARITY Act, and a vote is scheduled to be held on May 14. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Ripple and XRP are back in focus after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse addressed what XRP holders could potentially expect if Ripple ever goes public. The discussion, highlighted by reporter James Dula following Garlinghouse’s appearance on the Crypto In America podcast with Eleanor Terrett, centers on a brief but impactful remark suggesting that XRP holders could see “something special” in the event of an IPO. Why Ripple IPO Talk Matters For XRP Holders The renewed attention is driven by Ripple’s unique position in the crypto market, where its business operations and XRP remain closely associated in public perception. While XRP is not equity in Ripple, the token has long been linked to the company’s ecosystem, making any discussion about Ripple’s corporate future relevant to XRP holders. Related Reading: Bitcoin Forms The Same Pattern That Previously Led To A 400% Rally An IPO would mean Ripple shares becoming publicly traded on a stock exchange, opening the company to institutional and retail investors. Such a move typically brings stricter financial reporting, broader market exposure, and increased scrutiny. For XRP holders, the importance lies not in direct ownership claims over Ripple, but in how Ripple’s public valuation and performance could indirectly shape sentiment around XRP’s role in the broader financial ecosystem. Garlinghouse’s remark did not confirm any formal plan, but it acknowledged the possibility of recognizing XRP holders in some way if an IPO ever happens. That uncertainty is what triggered widespread discussion across the crypto community. Possible Outcomes And Market Implications Following the CEO’s comments, several theoretical outcomes have circulated among investors. These include early access to Ripple shares during an IPO allocation phase, community-based reward structures tied to long-term XRP holding, or tokenized representations of Ripple equity for eligible participants. Others speculate that Ripple could use proceeds from a public listing to support ecosystem growth, which might indirectly influence XRP adoption and liquidity. At the same time, there may be limitations to what can realistically occur. Ripple equity and XRP remain separate assets, so any direct financial benefit for XRP holders would depend entirely on corporate decisions made during the IPO process, if one ever takes place. Related Reading: Ethereum Analyst Sets $24,000 Full Parabolic Target, Here’s The Roadmap There is also the possibility that a public listing could introduce stricter regulatory expectations and investor pressure, potentially limiting how closely Ripple could align company incentives with XRP holders. This is one reason Garlinghouse has emphasized that going public is not an immediate priority, especially given Ripple’s strong private-market valuation, reported at around $50 billion following recent share buyback activity. Even so, XRP remains central to Ripple’s long-term strategy, with Garlinghouse previously describing it as the company’s “North Star.” That connection continues to fuel speculation that any future IPO could include symbolic or strategic recognition of the XRP community, even if no guarantees exist. For now, no official program or policy links XRP holders to a potential Ripple IPO. The discussion remains speculative, but it highlights a broader reality: any major corporate shift at Ripple is likely to reignite questions about how closely the company’s growth and XRP’s future remain intertwined.
