XRP+1.74%

XRP was little changed over the past 24 hours, rising from $2.194 to $2.264 and defying the broader digital asset market’s uncertainty. The token’s rally comes amid intensifying global trade tensions, with major economies implementing new tariffs that have rattled markets.

Despite these headwinds — and a second consecutive week of institutional outflows totaling $28.2 million as reported by CoinShares — XRP has shown resilience, underscoring its potential utility in cross-border payments.

The U.S. government’s Digital Asset Stockpile, announced in March 2025 and which includes XRP, continues to provide a solid fundamental backdrop even as price consolidation tests investor confidence.
