# XRP Nears Critical $1 Support Level Amid Market Pressure Ripple's token approaches two-year low as ETF inflows remain minimal despite regulatory progress. - **Source:** [CryptoPotato](https://brifing.si/source/bd22636b-ec8d-42a8-8cca-1937c50e0f6c) - **Published:** 2026-08-11 - **Topic:** [Finance](https://brifing.si/c/finance) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/3b97d377-9bca-405f-acd1-89d0e96939bd ## XRP Tests Key Psychological Support XRP has plunged to $1.002, its lowest level since November 2024, marking a 3% drop in 12 hours. Analysts warn that breaking below the $1 support could trigger intensified selling pressure. Despite Bitcoin holding steady at $64k, altcoins like XRP face severe bearish sentiment. The cross-border payment token now teeters on the edge of a major technical breakdown. ## Tokenized Assets Boom on XRPL The total value of real-world assets (RWAs) tokenized on XRP Ledger skyrocketed 400% YTD to $4.4 billion. Argentina's Justoken accounts for 51% of this growth with its JMWH electricity token launched in January. However, network expansion has attracted scammers - Ripple recently warned about phishing attempts and fake airdrop campaigns targeting XRP holders. ## MiCA License Boosts European Expansion Ripple secured a full MiCA license in July, allowing regulated access to its payment infrastructure across 30 EEA countries. UK/Europe Policy Director Matt Osborne emphasized that regulatory clarity builds institutional trust. This milestone comes as Ripple positions itself for Europe's new era of regulated crypto finance under MiCA framework starting 2025. ## Anemic ETF Inflows Raise Concerns Spot XRP ETFs recorded their fourth green week but attracted only $1 million in inflows - two trading days saw zero activity. Compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, institutional interest remains lackluster. Yesterday's net inflows were flat at $0.00 according to SoSoValue, reflecting weak demand despite recent regulatory wins. ## CLARITY Act Delay Impacts Sentiment XRP dropped to $1.02 after another delay in the US CLARITY Act, highlighting how regulatory uncertainty weighs on crypto prices. Failed recovery attempts above $1.10 resistance confirm bearish momentum. The token's correlation with broader altcoin market weakness suggests continued pressure until macroeconomic conditions improve. ## Analysts Divided on XRP Outlook Technical analysts present wildly divergent XRP forecasts. Some predict drops to $0.80 if $1 support breaks, while others envision $50 targets assuming a rebound. Bollinger Bands indicate XRP is in oversold territory, but momentum indicators show no reversal signs yet. The extreme predictions reflect XRP's volatile nature and polarized investor base. ## XRPL Warns of Escalating Scams The official XRP Ledger account has amplified warnings about phishing scams impersonating Ripple. They clarified that neither Ripple nor wallet providers conduct airdrops. With XRP's price volatility, scammers exploit desperation through fake giveaways. Investors are urged to never share private keys and verify all communications through official channels only. ## Broader Crypto Market Context XRP's struggles mirror the altcoin market's bearish phase. Institutional capital remains concentrated in BTC and ETH, starving smaller cap tokens of liquidity. Regulatory uncertainties and macroeconomic headwinds continue suppressing crypto valuations. However, some view current levels as accumulation opportunities before the next market cycle, whenever that may emerge. ## Sources covering this story - https://cryptopotato.com/important-ripple-news-and-xrp-price-update-august-11/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
