At the time of writing, $XRP was trading sideways near $1.44, up 2.43% in the last 24 hours, with analysts signaling that a major move might be brewing.
$XRP volatility has dropped to levels last seen before a major 2024 rally, with technical traders highlighting a compression setup.
This price setup has $1.39 as key support and $1.44 as near-term resistance that could open a move toward $1.50 to $1.62 if reclaimed.
With volatility near prior cycle lows, analysts indicate that the timing and direction of the next breakout might depend on how long this low volatility consolidation phase might last.
$XRP expands in RWA tokenization
In a recent tweet, Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla highlighted $XRP's growth in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market. He added that this signifies that institutional blockchain adoption is accelerating on XRPL.
The RWA activity growth is significant as it suggests that $XRP Ledger is seeing meaningful traction from institutions that value guardrails mirroring existing market infrastructure.
The Evernorth CEO also highlighted $RLUSDβs growth as another major signal for $XRP Ledger. $RLUSD rose to over $1 billion in issuance within months last year, and its distribution keeps expanding, including a full integration on Binance in the past week.
Decentralized exchange growth on $XRP Ledger also indicates increasing on-chain participation. DEX activity on XRPL hit a 13-month high in terms of transactions per day at the start of 2026. Increased trading volume implies deeper liquidity, tighter spreads and more capital efficiency.
