During the past two days, $XRP surprised us with a strong rise that pushed the price up to $2.45, after breaking above the 200-day moving average on the hourly chart.
At the same time, we saw Bitcoin touching $95,000 after the difficult December month.
What happened with XRP wasn't just a coincidence; there were three clear factors behind the surge:
🔹 Money is flowing in from everywhere
Within less than a month, more than 5 major investment funds have entered XRP, each exceeding $1 billion!
And the best part? New SEC regulations have made it possible to launch investment funds in just two days instead of 240 days.
And analysts predict more than 100 new funds in 2026!
🔹 Supply is disappearing
- 500 million XRP frozen until 2028
- The Flare network is planning to reserve 5 billion XRP
- Investment funds have withdrawn over 500 million XRP from the market
- The supply on platforms now is only 1.6 billion, the lowest in 7 years!
In short: supply is decreasing, demand is increasing = price goes up.
🔹 Regulatory environment has become clearer
Ripple submitted a formal application to obtain a Federal Reserve banking license in December 2025.
If approved, it will give them direct access to the Federal Reserve, opening the door for retirement funds and insurance companies to enter XRP.
And this alone is enough to change the rules of the game.

📉 Technically speaking:
- Current support around $2.07
- If we maintain it, we might test $2.4 again
- But if we break it, we could see a deeper correction
- The real battle is around the 200-day moving average
