Ripple’s XRP is entering a period where regulation, institutional demand and network utility could collide. The token trades around $1.42, up 0.56% over 24 hours, after finding support near $1.30 but remaining below the $1.50–$1.60 resistance zone.  ETF demand is adding weight to the bullish case, with XRP funds attracting about $159 million last month and more than $13 million this month, alongside a decline in XRP held on exchanges.
