💡 While everyone is watching the FOMC, XRP got a new script of its own on the eve of the rate decision.
Two institutional partnerships were announced on 10/27: BNY Mellon added $XRP and Ripple’s RLUSD to its custody platform, while Robinhood will use RLUSD for institutional trade settlements. The market reacted in step: a snapshot from Zhitong Finance showed a +2.25% gain to $1.32, while CryptoPotato reported a +3% rise, putting XRP back above the key $1.30 level—an area it lost just last week. Whether it can reclaim that level will determine how convincing this rally is.
This isn’t just a sentiment-driven move: stablecoin custody and institutional settlement are part of the WEB3 infrastructure story of “tokens working for traditional finance,” and both companies are major licensed institutions whose credentials can be verified.
Here are the specific risks: the FOMC announces its decision at 2:00 a.m. Beijing time, followed by Warsh’s remarks at 2:30. FedWatch puts the odds of no change at 90%, but the probability of a December rate hike remains above 70%. Event-level volatility is just hours away, and XRP’s modest gains could be wiped out by the broader market at any moment.
My view: cautiously bullish, but watching from the sidelines. If XRP holds above $1.30 on rising volume, we can talk about the next leg after the data comes out. If it falls back below $1.30 on declining volume, treat it as a false breakout.
Data as of today. Not investment advice.
With the data-night and institutional-backing narratives both in play, are you watching this $XRP level?
