$XRP Drops 14% in a Week as XRPL Lending Vaults Draw Scrutiny

What happened?
XRP trades near $1.04, down 14.6% in 7 days and 23.8% in 30 days.

Why does it matter?
Proposed XRP Ledger lending rules lock deposits during a vault's investment phase, with uncollateralized loans underwritten off-chain. Depositors carry the default risk, and the feature still needs 80%+ validator support held for two weeks.

What's next?
Bearish: the bounce is weak and a lock-up design is a hard sell. Expect XRP to retest $1.02 support while it stays below $1.06, with $1.22 as the weekly cap. Not financial advice, DYOR.
