【Up 4.3%, but XRP still hasn’t really taken off】
The two things most worth watching in this rally aren’t prices, but two forces pulling against each other.
Over the past 30 days, more than 6 billion XRP have flowed to exchanges, while whale activity has also slowed. Combined with a 4.3% gain in 24 hours and virtually no movement over 7 days, this suggests the market has plenty of tokens sitting on the sidelines, but lacks the fresh capital needed to step in and buy. XRP is now at $1.36, still 63% below its all-time high. But “it’s fallen a lot” is never a reason to buy—what matters is whether the fundamentals have changed.
On the other side, Ripple Prime has brought Wall Street into 24-hour stock trading and also allows RLUSD to be used as collateral. In practice, this means institutions no longer have to wait for traditional markets to open, and brokerages, trading platforms, and market makers will all need to rethink their settlement and liquidity arrangements. The business logic makes sense—but HSBC has warned that large trades may still struggle to find enough buyers and sellers. That exposes a fundamental flaw: round-the-clock trading hours don’t mean round-the-clock liquidity.
So I’m inclined to see this rise as a recovery amid volatility, not a confirmed trend reversal. What really matters is whether trading volume can keep growing and whether institutional trading drives real-world use—not just a more exciting narrative.
Where do you think this institutional pathway will first gain traction at scale?
