XRP is testing the $1.45-$1.50 area as the XRP Ledger’s xrpld 3.3.0 upgrade moves through an amendment-driven activation process. Released on Aug. 6, the upgrade includes atomic transactions, confidential transfers, programmable token properties, permission delegation, sponsored transaction costs and protocol fixes. Ripple can vote for amendments but cannot activate them alone: proposals need more than 80% support from trusted validators for two consecutive weeks, with the countdown resetting if support falls below the threshold. The maintenance-focused fixCleanup3_3_0 amendment is the first 3.3.0 proposal to reach that stage, while ConfidentialTransfer, DynamicMPT, BatchV1_1, Permission Delegation and Sponsor remain part of the broader upgrade cycle. The features support XRPL’s developing focus on tokenized assets, institutional settlement, privacy and financial applications, alongside separate proposals for native lending, vaults and institutional credit markets involving RLUSD. XRP’s immediate technical test is a sustained move above $1.50, with $1.65-$1.70 as the next stated zone and $1.35-$1.40 as the key downside area. U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded their strongest weekly inflow of 2026 at $110.49 million, lifting cumulative net inflows to roughly $1.66 billion despite comparatively weak spot-market momentum.
