Ripple’s XRP is entering the new week with a mix of strong headlines and weak price action. Brad Garlinghouse shared that there is a 90% chance a US crypto bill gets clarity by April, which could open the door for more institutional money.
In Japan, SBI launched a $64.5 million bond that rewards investors with XRP, tying the token directly into a traditional financial product.
However, the on-chain data indicates that there are $1.93 billion in realized losses, which is a strong indication of capitulation. Historically, such points have been near local bottoms.
Despite those developments, the XRP price is still trading around $1.42, and the chart shows the market is under pressure.

Here’s What The XRP Chart Is Showing
On the 4H chart, XRP has been trending lower for weeks.The chart shows clear lower highs and lower lows. Price fell to $1.11, bounced, and is now trading just above $1.40.
That $1.40 region is important. It is acting as short-term support, and the XRP price has been consolidating there after the latest sell-off.
If XRP loses this area, the chart opens the door for another move toward the recent low near $1.11. Right now, the market looks like it is pausing rather than reversing.

XRP drops 9% as whales buy 170 million coins: Is this a sign of a price bottom or a precursor to a rebound?
February 24 News, despite XRP's recent sustained pressure and a phased decline of about 9%, on-chain fund flows have shown clear signs of divergence, with large holder addresses and institutional investors continuing to add positions during the pullback, sparking market attention on whether XRP's price has bottomed out and the potential for a rebound.
Data shows that since February, XRP has been consistently constrained by a downward trend resistance level, with short-term momentum remaining weak and market sentiment turning cautious. However, on-chain indicators reveal that XRP's current market price is below its intrinsic value, which usually indicates that most holders are in a floating loss. From a historical cycle perspective, when the price falls below the actual cost range, it is often seen as an undervalued phase, likely to attract medium- to long-term capital deployment.

On February 24, Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings announced that it will issue a 10 billion yen unsecured digital bond, the "SBI START Bond," on March 24. The bond will be open for subscription to retail investors in Japan, with a minimum investment threshold of just 10,000 yen. The issuance size is approximately $64.6 million, comparable to the scale of large digital bond issuances in Japan in recent years, and is seen as an important step for Japan's digital securities market to target individual investors.
In terms of product design, SBI has introduced a crypto asset incentive mechanism, allowing investors to receive XRP token rewards. According to the plan, eligible domestic Japanese investors must register an account with SBI VC Trade to receive the related rewards. The XRP reward program will be distributed in May 2026, and the bonds will pay partial interest in installments from 2027 to 2029. Industry insiders believe this move will help expand the registration of digital asset accounts and increase retail investors' participation in blockchain financial products.
