Overview
- XRP is trading around $2.26–$2.34 after a roughly 20–23% monthly decline, reflecting a broader crypto pullback.
- Artemis data show Ripple USD (RLUSD) surpassed $1 billion in supply as its adjusted 30‑day volume rose 210% to over $4 billion and transactions climbed 26% to about 480,000.
- Ripple’s institutional push includes rebranding to Ripple Prime, acquisitions of Hidden Road and GTreasury, and an RLUSD card‑settlement trial with Gemini, Mastercard, and WebBank.
- Technical readings are mixed, with a newly formed death cross and key resistance at $2.50–$2.80, while support near $2.00–$2.25 is in focus and a break could expose $1.61 per one analysis.
- Spot‑XRP ETF filings by Bitwise and Canary/21Shares are moving through the process with approvals uncertain, as on‑chain signals show over 21,000 new wallets in 48 hours and short‑term whale distribution of about 500,000 XRP.
