XRP rebounded from around the $1.00 level to as high as $1.70 before settling near $1.50, while active addresses surged 659% from 47,180 to 358,330, or just over 356,000 in other cited readings. Santiment data showed activity averaging about 35,700 daily active addresses in August versus roughly 26,400 in July, then reaching about 305,000 on Aug. 24. Spot XRP ETFs attracted nearly $40 million in weekly net inflows, lifting cumulative flows above $1.55 billion, while separate reporting cited more than $45 million across a record three-day stretch. XRP’s August gain approached 40%, potentially making it the token’s strongest monthly performance since February 2025 and its best month of 2026. Gemini enabled XRPL deposits and withdrawals in Singapore, and reports linked Ripple-related flows to FedNow connectivity through Volante. XRP still needs to reclaim the $1.65–$1.70 resistance zone before a durable trend reversal can be confirmed.
