XRP market recovery and XRPL institutional utility growth
Overview
By late September 2026, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) continued its expansion into real-world asset (RWA) utility and institutional settlement. Following a period of high transaction volumes, XRP saw a price recovery to approximately $1.43 by September 19, supported by an 8.9% increase in daily ledger transactions. While total successful payments fluctuated, the amount of XRP burned through transaction fees rose by 84.3%, reaching 771.7 XRP.
Market activity was characterized by significant whale accumulation, with large-scale investors acquiring roughly 1.54 billion XRP—valued at approximately $2.2 billion—over a 96-hour period ending September 19. This coincided with increased institutional holdings, including CoinShares reporting 148.66 million XRP and Franklin Templeton clients acquiring $1.5 million in tokens. In South Korea, XRP surpassed Bitcoin in daily volume on the Upbit exchange.
Utility for the RLUSD stablecoin expanded through new financial products. Ondo Finance launched its tokenized US Treasury fund, OUSG, on the XRPL using RLUSD for transactions. Additionally, Soil, developed by the ORQO Group, introduced a yield protocol allowing users to earn returns on RLUSD via vaults backed by private credit and tokenized Treasuries. The protocol’s initial $1 million asset pools were fully utilized within 72 hours. While Volatility Shares has delayed the launch of its 3x leveraged XRP ETF until October 18, the product remains in the regulatory process.
