Ripple (XRPUSD) climbed slightly on Friday, up by 0.67% over the last 24 hours, slightly outpacing the broader crypto market’s 0.28% gain. At the time of writing, XRP is hovering around $2.10 after a mild profit-taking earlier in the day, caught between bull and bear trading activities. Its trading volume dropped by 15% to $3.82 billion on Friday, with market capitalisation settling at $127 billion. According to crypto market analysts, this aligned with its 11.19% weekly uptrend but contrasts with its 1.48% monthly stagnation.

Its price movement was supported by increased institutional adoption and rising transparency across cryptocurrency market. Evernorth – a Ripple and SBI-backed digital asset treasury – and Doppler Finance announced a strategic partnership to design institutional liquidity and treasury solutions on the XRP Ledger. Market analysts expressed that this is bullish for XRP because it addresses a key adoption barrier – lack of institutional-grade infrastructure – potentially unlocking new demand for XRP in regulated yield strategies and liquidity pools while professionalizing on-chain treasury management. In other news, Ripple expanded collaborations with Japan’s Mizuho Bank, SMBC Nikko, and Securitize Japan to advance tokenized securities and real-world assets (RWAs) on the XRP Ledger.

The action followed Ripple’s special license from Singapore’s Monetary Authority, reinforcing its Asia pivot amid U.S. regulatory uncertainty. This is bullish for XRP as it deepens integration with traditional finance in a crypto-friendly jurisdiction, potentially increasing XRPL transaction volume and establishing XRP as a bridge asset for institutional tokenization projects. XRP’s MACD shows a bullish crossover (0.050627 > 0.0073499 signal line), while its RSI (56.03) remains neutral, avoiding overbought territory.

Whale inflows to Binance have dropped sharply since mid-December 2025, with large transactions ($100k+) hitting a 3-month high (2,802 on Jan 8). Concurrently, exchange-held XRP fell 28.6% since February 2025.
