XRP Rebounds to the Mid-$2s on Heavy Institutional Flows After Tariff Shock

Traders now eye a $2.50 floor, with a decisive push through roughly $2.60 seen as the trigger toward $2.70–$3.00.

Overview

  • XRP recovered to about $2.58 and regained roughly $30 billion in market value, with one of the year’s heaviest sessions and volumes led by institutional prints, according to CoinDesk.
  • The rebound followed a marketwide sell-off tied to President Trump’s 100% China-tariff announcement, which coincided with more than $150 million in XRP futures liquidations.
  • On-chain and order book data show large holders accumulated between $2.34 and $2.45 as trading volumes jumped to nearly triple the 30‑day average, signaling aggressive dip-buying.
  • Near-term structure points to support around $2.40–$2.50 and resistance near $2.60–$2.66, with analysts viewing a close above ~$3.05 as confirmation of a larger breakout.
  • Market participants cite RLUSD stablecoin rails, corporate treasury uptake, and Ripple’s Hidden Road deal as drivers of institutional demand, while spot-ETF speculation and Ripple’s Swell event in New York next month are viewed as potential catalysts.
