- XRP is trading at $1.38, down 3% from last week.
- The XRP Ledger has attracted more than $3 billion in real-world transactions.
- XRP may retest $1.25 or lower if the bearish pressure continues.
Ripple cryptocurrency XRP is trading heavily over the past 24 hours, as buyers struggle to break the $1.40 level following an intraday rally from a low of $1.36.
The price action – showing XRP down on a weekly basis by only 5% in the last month – contrasted with a significant increase in the value of real assets (RWAs) on the XRP Ledger.
XRP Ledger hits $3 billion RWA value
As XRP continues to rally, strong sentiment seems to be surrounding XRP Ledger (XRPL).
The network has reached a milestone of $3 billion in global net worth, representing a 55% increase in the past 30 days.
According to research by rwa.xyz, the growing XRPL RWA ecosystem now includes more than 290 projects.
On-chain events are also evident in the 3,819 unique RWA holders, while the stablecoin market capitalization on XRPL exceeds $508 million.
Among private projects, the largest RWA on XRPL is Justtoken’s JMWH token, an asset valued at over $1.76 billion.
Meanwhile, Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin accounts for more than $400 million in tokenized value, while Ondo Finance’s limited US Treasury products and VERT Capital’s asset-backed loans provide approximately $323 million and $139 million, respectively.
Market experts see the growth of RWA for XRPL as a sign of increasing institutional trust and confidence, and the ability to run other online services.
The price of XRP
Despite the surge in RWA activity, XRP’s price remained below $1.50, as bulls face sustained financial pressure and profit-taking.
The token has fallen sharply since it peaked at $3.67 in July 2025, with declines compounded by major market sales on October 10, 2025, and February 5, 2026, when prices fell to $1.58 and $1.13, respectively.
The recent weakness—including the retracement to $1.36—shows the importance of the 50-day moving average as an important technical area.
According to the chart, XRP is trading within a descending triangle pattern on the daily time frame.
The relative strength indicator (RSI) is hovering around 48 and is trending lower, while the bearish MACD crossover reinforces temporary caution.
Despite the technical caution, what may come from XRP ETF futures and control of major or political events can raise the opinion of many cryptos.
If the growth of RWA continues, boosting metrics on the chain—such as the rise of counters and the value of the locked stablecoin—could provide further support.
In the short term, XRP could move to $1.25 if the downward pressure continues.
However, a sustained break above $1.45 could open the door to $1.70. In the broader scenario, driven by RWA, $2.00 and a large portion of $3.00 appear as major resistance areas.
