XRP Sees Growing Institutional Demand
Institutional data also shows that interest in XRP is rising. The Coinbase and Ernst & Young investor survey, conducted in January 2026, surveyed 351 investors.
Most investors manage more than $1 billion in assets. The results showed that 25% of investors plan to add XRP to their portfolios this year. Around 18% already own XRP in their portfolios.
The same survey also points to a trend in crypto adoption. Around 73% of institutions plan to increase their exposure in the year 2026. However, 56% of them plan to hold more than just Bitcoin and Ethereum. This is a sign of diversification, and XRP is also a part of this trend.
