XRP Holds Tight Range as Network Activity Climbs

XRP3,83%
BTC3,68%
ETH4,85%
SOL7,4%

Key Insights:

  • XRP RWA value climbed 23% in 30 days, surpassing $2 billion and overtaking Solana despite weak price performance.
  • Spot XRP ETFs added $48.5 million this month, outpacing January inflows even as Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded outflows.
  • Technical charts show XRP trading below key resistance and moving averages, signaling sustained pressure toward the $1.12 yearly low.

XRP price continues to trade in a tight band even as network activity expands across key segments. The token changed hands at $1.4215 on Sunday, marking a 15% decline from its monthly peak of $2.4180. Consequently, traders now focus on whether fundamentals can offset broader market stagnation.

Moreover, XRP has moved sideways throughout the month, reflecting muted momentum across major digital assets. Bitcoin has hovered near $68,000 for weeks, while Ethereum has struggled to regain ground above $2,000. Hence, XRP mirrors the broader market pause rather than signaling isolated weakness.

RWA Ecosystem Expands Rapidly

Significantly, XRP Ledger’s real world asset tokenization segment has recorded steady growth. The total value locked in its RWA ecosystem jumped 23% over the past 30 days, reaching more than $2 billion. Additionally, this figure now exceeds Solana’s $1.7 billion and stands well above Polygon and Stellar.

Developers have also introduced new infrastructure to support regulated participation. The recent launch of a Permissioned DEX enables institutions to engage in decentralized finance while meeting compliance standards. Besides that, the network rolled out domain services, expanding utility within the XRP Ledger.

ETF Inflows Defy Market Trend

Meanwhile, spot XRP exchange traded funds have continued to attract capital despite subdued price action. Data shows these products added over $48.5 million this month, improving sharply from January’s $15 million inflow. In contrast, both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have posted net outflows during the same period.

This steady allocation suggests selective demand for XRP exposure. However, price movement has yet to reflect the growing asset base. Consequently, the divergence between capital inflows and spot performance has widened.

Technical Signals Point Lower

Technical indicators show continued pressure on the daily chart. XRP trades below the Murrey Math major support and resistance pivot at $1.5625 and remains under all key moving averages. Moreover, the Supertrend indicator signals a prevailing downtrend.

A gravestone doji formed on February 15, reinforcing bearish sentiment. Therefore, analysts now track the year to date low near $1.1200 as the next key level in focus.

XRP Ledger Questioned for "Centralization"? Ripple CTO Responds, Decentralization Controversy Heats Up Again

February 25 News, the debate over whether XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a centralized blockchain has quickly heated up in the crypto community. Justin Bons, founder and CIO of Cyber Capital, publicly questioned the decentralization of XRPL, arguing that its reliance on the Unique Node List (UNL) mechanism essentially makes it a "permissioned blockchain," deviating from the true permissionless crypto network concept. Justin Bons pointed out that XRPL validators typically refer to recommended node lists published by a central authority. Deviating from this list could lead to network forks, thereby structurally creating potential governance centralization risks. He also categorized XRPL alongside networks like Stellar, Hedera, and Algorand as "permissioned architectures," emphasizing that blockchains not based on PoW or PoS consensus might be closer to an authority proof model (PoA), making it difficult to achieve full trust minimization.
