Ripple

The XRP Ledger just showed a clear signal: on-chain activity dropped by about 80% compared to its recent peaks, based on payment indicators between accounts. And this decline is associated with a cooling of institutional participation, in a context where crypto ETFs no longer show the same traction.

While bitcoin and Ethereum make headlines with their ETFs, Ripple chooses the right moment to assert itself with XRP. From February 11 to 12, the company is hosting the XRP Community Day 2026, a global digital event dedicated to its native asset and innovations of the XRP Ledger. This initiative occurs within a context of growing institutional interest, driven by massive flows into XRP ETFs. For Ripple, it is more than a community meeting: it is a strategic demonstration on a global scale.

While the crypto market remains without a clear direction, XRP attracts attention. According to analyst XForceGlobal, the token has entered a "washout zone," an intense correction phase potentially preceding a major reversal. Relying on Elliott wave theory, he suggests a scenario where the current drop precedes a surge up to 30 dollars. As selling pressure intensifies and technical signals blur, this interpretation divides opinion.

Within twenty-four hours, ETFs backed by XRP collected 16.79 million dollars, partially erasing a massive withdrawal that occurred a few days earlier. This sudden reversal illustrates the volatility of institutional flows in crypto, but also XRP's ability to trigger a renewed strategic interest. At the crossroads of traditional finance and cryptos, this movement marks an unexpected turning point in investors' perception of this long-controversial asset.

The American justice system has just dismissed a class action lawsuit against Ripple Labs, offering strategic relief to XRP. In a climate where regulatory uncertainty weighs on the entire crypto sector, this type of decision acts as a strong signal. This judicial setback for the plaintiffs comes shortly after the end of the standoff between Ripple and the SEC. While the case raised the question of the legal status of XRP, its dismissal without further action could strengthen Ripple's credibility with markets and institutions.

The crypto market is starting to lift its head again after turbulent weeks. And when the head of Ripple takes a public stand, the signal deserves decoding. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, says he expects a new all-time high in the crypto market. He stated this during an appearance on CNBC, calling himself "very bullish" and ready to "go on the record" with this forecast.

XRP Ledger continues to show strong on-chain activity while Ripple leadership outlines where the crypto market may head next.

While the market's attention has focused on Ethereum, Solana or rollups, XRP is back in the conversation. Long held back by regulatory turbulences, the asset is catching a new breath, driven by favorable technical dynamics and a growing strength of its infrastructure, the XRP Ledger. Influential voices in the sector now see it as an underestimated catalyst, able to reactivate a growth cycle based on real use cases and a proven architecture.

Is XRP preparing for a spectacular comeback? Patient crypto investors may soon reap the rewards of their wait.

While the crypto industry is multiplying IPOs to gain legitimacy, Ripple opts for a different path. Against all odds, its president Monica Long has dismissed any IPO, despite a valuation of 40 billion dollars and the end of the showdown with the SEC. Thus, contrary to the signals sent to the market, this refusal marks a clear intention: to remain independent in order to better control its growth and governance, while consolidating its status in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.

Financial products backed by XRP have just crossed the one billion dollar mark in assets under management. For several weeks, inflows have accelerated, driven by renewed institutional interest. In a market dominated by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the growth of Ripple's asset surprises by its consistency.

Regulatory pressure on the US crypto sector has eased sharply since President Donald Trump returned to office. Enforcement priorities at the Securities and Exchange Commission have shifted, with crypto firms now facing far fewer legal actions than in previous years.

XRP shows an increase of 0.85% at $2.22, but its trading volume collapses by 31.87%. A puzzling paradox that raises questions: Are crypto traders losing confidence despite rising prices? Analysis of the numbers and stakes to understand what is really at play behind this trend.

Franklin Templeton launched an XRP-backed ETF on NYSE Arca this Monday. This event marks a significant milestone in integrating altcoins into regulated markets. While attention is focused on Bitcoin ETFs, this initiative signals an expansion of institutional interest. After the litigation between Ripple and the SEC, this launch could pave the way for other cryptos previously sidelined by traditional markets.

Behind the apparent rise of XRP, the technical signals turn red. While Ripple's crypto shows a sustained price, the on-chain data reveal a worrying fragility: a large share of recent investors are at a loss, exposing the market to potentially explosive selling pressure.

At each ETF launch, the crypto market anticipates a price jump. For XRP, backed by the new XRPC fund from Canary Capital, the expected effect did not occur. Despite solid opening volume, the price remained frozen before dropping by 7%. A striking contrast with previous surges triggered by similar announcements. Why hasn’t XRP, despite being in the spotlight, benefited from this institutional momentum?

While the crypto market remains under pressure due to global economic uncertainties, XRP continues to disappoint despite concrete advances. Why such a discrepancy between its fundamentals and its price? For Versan Aljarrah, a recognized analyst and founder of Black Swan Capitalist, the answer is straightforward. As long as XRP remains correlated with bitcoin, it will remain trapped by chronic volatility. This statement reignites the debate on the strategic independence of Ripple’s flagship asset.

The countdown is on for an XRP ETF. Two asset management giants, 21Shares and Canary Capital, have initiated a legal procedure that could force the automatic approval of their funds within 20 days, unless the SEC explicitly vetoes it. In a climate where the institutionalization of cryptos is accelerating, this maneuver could propel XRP to the heart of regulated markets. This historic first places the American authority with a decisive choice or a silent deadline.

While the crypto industry regains market confidence thanks to clearer regulation and growing interest from institutional investors, Ripple opts for an unexpected direction. Despite a legal victory against the SEC and a year of exceptional growth, the Californian company forgoes any public offering. A choice that contrasts with the ambitions of other industry players and raises questions about the company’s long-term strategy.

Ripple’s US dollar–pegged stablecoin, RLUSD, has rapidly climbed the ranks to become one of the top ten stablecoins by market capitalization.
