Ripple News: Garlinghouse Sees $13T Treasury Flow Moving On-chain

Key Insights:

• The latest Ripple news showed that XRP price trades near $1.42 after stronger ETF demand.
• Traders now watch $1.51 as the next major resistance.
• Ripple CEO expects $13T treasury plan to boost XRP demand.

Ripple news now has a fresh corporate payments angle as XRP extends its rebound above key short-term levels. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said he expects 30% of Ripple Treasury’s $13 trillion annual payment flow to move on-chain within five years.

The comment arrived as the XRP price traded near $1.42. Improving sentiment, stronger ETF flows, and renewed derivatives demand supported the move today.

Bitcoin’s move above $81,000 also gave large altcoins a firmer backdrop, helping XRP outperform several major tokens.

Brad Garlinghouse made the remarks during a Consensus 2026 discussion with Bullish CEO Tom Farley in Miami. He framed Ripple’s acquisition strategy as a way to bring non-crypto companies into blockchain payments.

Instead of buying only crypto-native businesses, Ripple has targeted firms with existing enterprise clients and large transaction flows.

Ripple News Shows How Corporate Payments Could Move Onchain

Ripple bought GTreasury for $1 billion in October 2025, then reintroduced it as Ripple Treasury in January 2026. The Chicago-based platform has served corporate treasury teams for more than 40 years.

The Ripple news showed that it works with more than 1,000 clients across 160 countries, including American Airlines, Goodyear, and Volvo.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said GTreasury processed about $13 trillion in payments during 2025. None of that volume used stablecoins or other digital assets.

Ripple News, therefore, centers on a large unused payment channel, rather than a new speculative product.

The company does not plan to force clients into blockchain rails immediately. Garlinghouse said adoption should happen through simple choices inside the existing treasury interface.

A corporate user could compare a traditional payment route against a faster on-chain option.

The Ripple CEO cited a possible fuel payment in Peruvian sol as one example. Today, that transfer can take several days and depends on one correspondent bank.

Ripple Treasury could offer a real-time option at a lower cost, giving managers a clearer basis for execution.

XRP Price Holds Above Key EMA as ETF Inflows Improve

The XRP price has also gained support from ETF demand. CoinGlass data showed $11.5 million entered US-listed XRP ETF products on Tuesday. That was higher than the $3.87 million recorded one day earlier.

As per the Ripple news, cumulative XRP ETF inflows now stand near $1.29 billion, while net assets sit around $1.07 billion. Those flows matter because they show steady institutional demand during a broader market rebound.

They also help explain why traders are paying closer attention to the $1.51 resistance zone. Retail sentiment has improved as well.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index rose to 50 on Wednesday from 40 on Monday. Futures open interest also moved to $2.63 billion from $2.55 billion over the same period.

That level remains far below July’s $10.94 billion peak, which coincided with XRP’s record $3.66 price. The gap shows that participation has recovered, but leverage has not returned to prior extremes.

It gives the rebound more room, while leaving traders alert to bull-trap risk near key resistance levels ahead.

The technical setup remains mixed, even after the rebound. XRP moved above the 50-day EMA near $1.41, but it still trades below the 100-day EMA near $1.51. The 200-day EMA near $1.74 remains a higher resistance target.

Momentum readings lean positive in the short term. The four-hour RSI is also around 69, indicating a lot of buying pressure, but not the confirmed breakout.

The MACD histogram is still negative but has shrunk, suggesting that the momentum in the down direction is diminished.

Any pressure above $1.51 would help to lift the bearish sentiment and put the spotlight on $1.74. However, a daily close below $1.39 could return attention to the monthly open near $1.37.
