XRP Price: Token Drops Below $2 as Trump Tariffs Shake Markets

TLDR

  • XRP dropped below $2 during a six-day correction triggered by market-wide selloffs following President Trump’s tariff threats on European countries over Greenland
  • The decline wiped out $39.5 million in long liquidations, the highest since November 2025
  • US-based XRP spot ETFs recorded $1.28 billion in cumulative inflows with steady demand continuing through last Friday
  • XRP Ledger transactions surged to 2,575,561 on Wednesday, reaching a six-month high
  • Analysts say XRP must reclaim $2.05 to return to a safe zone and avoid further declines toward $1.80 or lower

XRP fell below the $2 mark on Monday after six straight days of losses. The token traded at $1.95 as the broader crypto market faced selling pressure.

The selloff began after President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on European nations over purchasing Greenland. Bitcoin dropped to $92,000 while Ethereum tested support at $3,000.

The market-wide decline resulted in $788.9 million in liquidated long positions. Bitcoin accounted for $224 million of these losses.

XRP saw $39.5 million in long liquidations. This marked the highest level since November 22, 2025. Total liquidations across both long and short positions reached $875 million, affecting approximately 250,000 traders.

Demand for XRP derivatives weakened during this period. Open interest fell to $3.56 billion on Monday from a yearly high of $4.55 billion on January 6. This represents a 21.7% decline in just two weeks.

Strong ETF Inflows Continue

Despite the price drop, institutional investors continued adding to their XRP positions. US-based spot XRP ETFs added $1.12 million on Friday alone.

Cumulative inflows reached $1.28 billion with total assets exceeding $1.52 billion. The Franklin XRP ETF was the only fund recording inflows on Friday, bringing its net assets to $287.75 million.

Global XRP investment products attracted $69.5 million in inflows during the week ending Friday. This shows institutions maintained steady demand even as retail sentiment weakened.

The XRP Ledger also showed increased activity. Transaction counts jumped to 2,575,561 on Wednesday, levels not seen since July 2025.

Data from XRPScan confirms the six-month high in network usage. More than 1.78 billion XRP were bought around the $1.96 level over the last six months according to Glassnode’s cost basis distribution data.

Critical Support Levels

XRP has dropped 18.5% from its eight-week high of $2.41 reached on January 6. The token now tests a daily order block around $1.96.

Market analyst Dom highlighted that XRP must reclaim $2.05 to return to a safe zone. He noted the earlier rally from January 1 to 6 lacked aggressive market buying and real demand.

The next support sits at $1.78 to $1.80 where investors acquired approximately 1.84 billion XRP. XRP has not closed a daily candle below this level since April 2025.

A break below $1.80 could send the price toward $1.61, which marked a local low in October. The 200-week exponential moving average sits at $1.41 and represents the last major defense line.

The relative strength index hit its lowest level in 2026, showing increasing downside momentum. XRP’s yearly gains have shrunk to 7.12% as the recent selloff erased most of January’s early gains.

Transaction data shows the network remains active with robust usage despite price weakness. The disconnect between onchain activity and price performance continues as traders focus on macroeconomic concerns.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
