- XRP price prediction stays bullish above $1.35, needing $1.45 to reopen the path toward $1.55
- XRP ETFs posted three straight days of inflows while Bitcoin ETFs saw three straight outflow sessions
- WisdomTree data shows XRP has the lowest correlation to Bitcoin among major cryptocurrencies
XRP price prediction for September 12 stays bullish above $1.35, the level that’s held through a choppy week even as the rest of crypto wobbled.
XRP Price Analysis: Can XRP Hold $1.35 Into the Weekend?
XRP trades near $1.3569, up 1.71% today, holding just above a support shelf near $1.33 to $1.35 that’s formed since early September following a sharp spike to $1.70 in late August. Price sits above the 20-day EMA at $1.3578 and the 200-day EMA at $1.3547, both converging almost exactly at current price, a tight cluster that’s kept the range narrow over the past two weeks.
A descending trendline connecting the late-August high down through the past two weeks of lower highs still caps price overhead, and the Parabolic SAR at $1.5647 remains well above current price, meaning the short-term trend hasn’t flipped bullish by that measure yet despite today’s bounce.

XRP News: Ripple’s David Schwartz Says XRP Could Eventually Flip Bitcoin
Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said in an X Spaces discussion that he believes XRP could one day overtake Bitcoin in market cap, but not because Bitcoin shrinks. Asked directly if XRP could flip Bitcoin, he said: “Yeah, I do. But I think it wouldn’t happen from Bitcoin shrinking. It would happen from XRP growing faster than Bitcoin.”
His case rests on a broader scenario, not a Bitcoin decline. “It would happen in a world where digital assets are just wildly successful,” he said, one where “all of the major ones grow significantly” and the XRP Ledger “gets more of that growth” because of its higher functionality, higher speed, and features Bitcoin doesn’t support.

The remarks landed the same week XRP spot ETFs were among the only crypto funds still attracting net inflows during a broader market sell-off, timing that adds some real-world context to an otherwise long-term, speculative call.
XRP News: Data Shows XRP Has the Weakest Correlation to Bitcoin
Trader SMQKE cited WisdomTree research showing XRP has the lowest correlation to other major cryptocurrencies, arguing this could help it outperform if Bitcoin corrects sharply. The numbers back that up:
- XRP-Bitcoin correlation: 0.35, well below Bitcoin’s 0.71 correlation to Ethereum
- A separate WisdomTree crypto monthly report states directly that XRP has the lowest correlation of any major crypto asset
- An older, shorter-window WisdomTree figure found Bitcoin and Ethereum strongly correlated at 0.9, while XRP sat around 0.4 with each
WisdomTree’s own research treats this as a risk to watch, not just a bullish setup. If Bitcoin corrects on rising transaction costs, a pattern that’s historically preceded past bear markets, other crypto assets could get dragged down with it. XRP’s weaker correlation just means it may fall less in that scenario, since it doesn’t move in lockstep with BTC to begin with.
XRP ETF Flows: A Ninth Straight Week of Inflows While Bitcoin Struggles
XRP spot ETFs added $5.14 million on September 10, extending a streak of daily inflows even as Bitcoin ETFs posted three straight outflow sessions over the same stretch according to SoSoValue. This week is tracking toward a ninth consecutive positive week, $18.98 million so far through Wednesday, with Friday still to come, following $18.96 million the week before. Cumulative inflows across all XRP ETFs stand at $1.70 billion.

Franklin’s XRPZ led Wednesday’s inflow at $5.14 million, while Bitwise’s XRP fund remains the largest by net assets at $498.84 million. XRP pulling in money while BTC ETFs bled it, over the same days, is a real, near-term example of the decoupling story Schwartz and SMQKE are both pointing to.
XRP Price Prediction: Upside and Downside Scenarios
Bullish Case, Target: $1.55
XRP holds above $1.35 and clears the descending trendline near $1.40. A close above $1.45 opens room toward $1.55, backed by nine straight weeks of ETF inflows and XRP’s continued outperformance relative to Bitcoin’s fund flows this week.
Bearish Case, Risk Level: $1.2704 (50-Day EMA)
XRP loses $1.35 and the SAR at $1.5647 keeps confirming a cautious short-term trend. A break below the 50-day EMA at $1.2704 would suggest the low-correlation thesis is being tested rather than playing out.
FAQs
XRP could extend toward $1.45 and then $1.55 if it holds above $1.35. Losing that level risks a pullback toward the 50-day EMA at $1.2704.
Yes, according to multiple WisdomTree datasets. One recent figure puts XRP’s correlation to Bitcoin at 0.35, among the lowest of any major cryptocurrency, though correlations between crypto assets have historically tightened during sharp market-wide selloffs.
Yes. XRP spot ETFs are on track for a ninth consecutive week of net inflows as of September 11, even as Bitcoin ETFs posted three straight days of outflows over the same period.
Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said it’s possible, but only in a scenario where the broader digital asset market grows substantially and the XRP Ledger captures a larger share of that growth due to its functionality, not from Bitcoin declining.
