CryptoQuant data shows XRP’s Sharpe Ratio on Binance has climbed to a one-year high, stabilizing at 0.207 after months of negative or neutral readings. The token trades near $1.40, up nearly 30% over the past month, signaling improved risk-adjusted returns. Institutional demand also surged, with US spot ETFs pulling in $110.49 million last week—the first weekly inflow above $110 million since early December 2025—pushing cumulative net inflows to a record $1.66 billion. However, analyst ChartNerd warns that a move toward $1.80 or $2 may remain out of reach until XRP reclaims the $1.54 resistance level.
XRP’s Sharpe Ratio on Binance has reached its highest level since August 2025, stabilizing at 0.207, according to CryptoQuant. The indicator measures risk-adjusted returns, and its recent rise follows months of negative or neutral readings during the token’s broader price decline.
The improvement coincides with XRP’s price recovery, which is up nearly 30% over the past month and currently hovers close to $1.40. CryptoQuant explained that this indicates the recent move was accompanied by stronger risk-adjusted performance rather than being an isolated price increase.
However, the indicator does not confirm a steady uptrend, as it could reverse quickly if volatility rises or the token undergoes a significant correction. Institutional demand for XRP-linked investment products has also been notable. Last week, US-based spot ETFs attracted $110.49 million in five days, marking the first weekly inflow above $110 million since early December 2025.
All five sessions ended positive, with Monday seeing $13.82 million, Tuesday $23.87 million, and Wednesday leading at $28.14 million—the strongest single-day showing since January 5. Thursday brought $18.47 million and Friday $26.2 million, pushing total net inflows across the five ETFs to a record $1.66 billion. Bitwise remains ahead of other issuers, with its ETF now holding slightly more than $600 million in cumulative inflows.
On the technical side, analyst ChartNerd stated that a move toward $1.80 or $2 could remain out of reach until XRP reclaims $1.54. That level represents both a six-month resistance wall and the weekly 50 EMA. ChartNerd further explained, “Just to be clear, and to reaffirm. I am not suggesting XRP can’t push up towards $1.80/$2. I am suggesting we are under resistance, and if we do get the follow through, it will likely open up an even deeper retrace than what we would witness rejecting the weekly 50 EMA at $1.54.”
