XRP surges 30% amid regulatory optimism and shifting market activity
XRP has experienced a significant price surge, gaining approximately 30% in a week and reclaiming key technical levels above $1.15. This rally coincided with a broader cryptocurrency market recovery, driven by Bitcoin climbing above $72,000 and a massive $3 billion crypto short liquidation event.
Several macroeconomic and political factors contributed to the momentum. The U.S. Treasury announced plans to double long-term bond buybacks, which improved liquidity sentiment. Additionally, President Donald Trump expressed support for the digital asset industry, urging Congress to pass the CLARITY Act. This political tailwind was bolstered by reports of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse attending a White House meeting with top regulators.
On-chain data reveals shifting transaction patterns on the XRP Ledger. Evernorth reported that 23% of XRP transactions now occur during the three-hour window when London and New York markets overlap, a significant increase from 14% a year ago. This concentration suggests heightened institutional or algorithmic activity during peak global liquidity hours. Furthermore, whale activity has intensified, with $1 million-plus transactions on the ledger increasing by 280% within a 24-hour period.
