Ah, XRP! The fourth-largest cryptocurrency, a creature of the night, has decided to don its bullish cape after a dramatic sell-off orchestrated by the notorious whales. Just yesterday, it plummeted to a mere $2.08, but lo and behold, it now dances at $2.28, a delightful 6% increase! This price surge coincides with the XRP Ledger’s audacious leap into the decentralized finance (DeFi) realm, as if it were a daring acrobat in a circus.
In a rather amusing twist, our dear crypto analyst, Ali Martinez, took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that XRP whales have jettisoned over 370 million XRP in the last 96 hours. The chart below, a veritable tapestry of decline, illustrates the whales’ retreat and the corresponding dip in XRP’s price. It seems our large investors have decided to offload their XRP, creating a delightful frenzy of selling pressure. Who knew crypto could be so dramatic?
XRPLās Institutional DeFi Push and Spot ETF
Despite the price rollercoaster, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is striding boldly toward an institutional-grade DeFi ecosystem. Itās like a knight in shining armor, positioning itself as a secure and scalable Layer 1 solution. With its native DEX, low fees, and rapid settlement times, XRPL is ready to take on the world! Several key features have already been unveiled, as per a rather enthusiastic blog post.
Among the most notable developments is the Order-Book DEX Extension, which introduces an Automated Market Maker (AMM) to XRPL. And letās not forget the implementation of Decentralized Identity (DID), a feature that enhances privacy-preserving Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance. A new Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) standard has also emerged, allowing for the representation of tokenized bonds and fixed-income assets on XRPL, complete with precise metadata storage. Who knew crypto could be so… organized?
In a twist that could rival any soap opera, Brazil has recently approved a spot XRP exchange-traded fund, while the SEC has acknowledged filings for similar products in the United States. And just when you thought it couldnāt get any better, the SEC has dropped legal cases against Coinbase, OpenSea, and Robinhood, hinting at a potential resolution for Ripple‘s own legal woes. Itās a veritable soap opera of financial intrigue!
XRP Price Analysis
The 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) stands at $2.54, a crucial resistance level that XRP must reclaim to avoid further upside disappointment. Until then, itās like waiting for a bus that never arrives.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads a rather dismal 36.24, suggesting XRP is nearing oversold conditions. A possible rebound could be on the horizon if buying pressure increases. The price is also testing the lower Bollinger Band at $2.22, which could signal further downside if XRP fails to reclaim key resistance levels at $2.5 and $2.8. Itās a precarious balancing act, indeed!
