XRP Price: The Network Is Booming — Is XRP Building a Macro Bottom?

TLDR

• Daily payments on the XRP Ledger hit a 12-month high of 2.7 million, but XRP price is down 26% year-to-date
• AMM pools surged to nearly 27,000 and tokenized real-world assets on XRPL jumped 35% in 30 days to $461 million
• XRP trades around $1.42, still 62% below its late-2025 high of $3.65
• Analysts identify a key support zone between $0.80–$0.95, with a breakout above $3.32 potentially targeting $27–$48
• XRPL’s total value locked sits at just $47.54 million despite XRP’s $84 billion market cap

XRP’s blockchain is seeing record levels of activity, but the token’s price has not followed. XRP is currently trading around $1.42, down 26% year-to-date and 62% below its late-2025 peak of $3.65.

Daily successful payments on the XRP Ledger recently hit a 12-month high of over 2.7 million. That’s up from roughly 1 million in late 2025, with the network processing between 20 and 26 transactions per second.

Automated market maker pools have grown to nearly 27,000, supporting more than 16,000 unique tokens. Twelve million XRP is currently deposited across those pools.

Tokenized real-world assets on the ledger reached $461 million, a 35% increase in the past 30 days. Stablecoin transfer volume over the same period hit $1.19 billion, with the stablecoin market cap on XRPL sitting at $339 million across 35,800 holders.

Much of this activity is tied to Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin and tokenized assets that use XRP briefly as a bridge currency. These transactions don’t create lasting demand for the token itself.

Why Activity Isn’t Lifting XRP’s Price

A cross-border payment that uses XRP for three seconds to bridge two fiat currencies doesn’t generate sustained buy pressure. The network gets busier, but the token remains liquid and transient.

XRPL’s total value locked stands at just $47.54 million, according to DeFiLlama. Solana holds around $4 billion in TVL. Ethereum holds over $40 billion.

Daily DEX volume on XRPL runs between $4 million and $8 million. That’s small for any Layer 1 blockchain, especially one with an $84 billion market cap.

The 30-day RWA transfer volume of $149 million — up over 1,300% — does point to real institutional activity in the tokenization space.

What Analysts Are Watching

Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO points to a key bottoming zone between $0.80 and $0.95, where multiple technical indicators converge, including 21, 50, and 100 EMA compression and a long-term ascending trendline.

If XRP reclaims the 21 EMA and breaks its current corrective pattern, the next price target would be $2.20. The bottoming process could run into Q2–Q3 2026.

Analyst Ali Martinez identifies a long-term ascending triangle with horizontal resistance near $3.32. A breakout above that level projects macro targets between $27 and $48.

Analyst Crypto Patel sees a confirmed multi-year triangle breakout, with a projected bull-run target near $50.

The $1.27–$1.30 support zone has held through multiple tests. XRP historically averages an 18% return in March.
