Oh, XRP! The beloved cryptocurrency that took a rather unexpected dip to $2.15. In what can only be described as a wild liquidation frenzy, traders lost a staggering $13.9 million in long positions. Meanwhile, the short positions only saw $1.49 million disappear. Yes, a delightful 1000% imbalance, if you will. It was as if everyone had placed their bets that the price would soar—only for reality to slap them in the face and drive the price lower. How charming.
But wait, don’t grab your pitchforks just yet! XRP has bounced back to $2.20—exactly where it needed to be, at a key support level. Is this the great shakeout before the inevitable surge? Crypto analyst John Squire thinks so, and with a tone as casual as one would discuss the weather, he claims XRP isn’t dead — it’s just loading.
XRP Has Been Working Hard… For YEARS
Now, don’t get too excited just because you spotted the name XRP in a headline. This isn’t some flashy, new token riding the coattails of the latest crypto fad. Oh no. XRP has been diligently toiling away for over a decade. The company behind it, Ripple, has been quietly constructing RippleNet, a global payment network, which is currently up and running in more than 55 countries. Over 350 financial institutions—yes, including some rather big names like SBI, Tranglo, and Santander—are already using it. This isn’t some pipedream of the future. It’s happening now.
A Legal Victory… Because Who Doesn’t Love Drama?
Ah, and here comes one of XRP’s more… thrilling chapters. Its infamous legal drama with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began back in December 2020. In July 2023, Ripple achieved a partial victory, and, like any good soap opera, the SEC decided to pause its appeal. What does this mean for XRP? If the stars align, this could bring full legal clarity, potentially allowing XRP to be one of the few cryptocurrencies given the green light to work with U.S. banks. The suspense is palpable, isn’t it?

Big Players Are Showing Interest… Finally
Squire isn’t the only one who seems optimistic. The big players are starting to take notice. CME Group is rolling out XRP futures in May 2025, and the gossip mill is churning with rumors of a potential BlackRock XRP trust. Meanwhile, Ripple, ever the overachiever, has launched RLUSD, its own stablecoin, which already boasts a market cap of over $300 million. Oh, and just to top things off, Ripple purchased Hidden Road, a major broker handling over $10 billion in daily transactions. Talk about beefing up the ecosystem!
Slow Chart? Nah, Just Waiting for the Right Moment
To the casual observer, XRP’s price might seem “boring” and “dead” because it’s moving slower than a sloth on vacation. But here’s the truth: when XRP goes quiet, smart investors quietly swoop in to buy. The technical indicators are showing support around $2.00, with a golden opportunity to turn bullish if it breaks above $2.30. Sure, XRP’s silence is deafening, but trust us, it’s gearing up for a loud comeback.
