The pullback came shortly after Ripple, JPMorgan, Mastercard and Ondo Finance completed a near-instant cross border settlement involving tokenized US Treasuries on the XRP Ledger. The transaction reportedly settled in under five seconds and operated outside traditional banking hours.

Ripple XRP Ledger Gains Institutional Attention

Market analysts said the move reinforces XRP Ledger’s position in the expanding tokenization sector, especially as major financial firms continue exploring real-world asset settlement on blockchain networks.

XRP Technical Levels Traders Are Watching

XRP is currently holding above the important $1.40 to $1.41 breakout zone, which traders now view as critical short-term support. Analysts warned that losing this level could weaken the broader bullish structure.

Meanwhile, resistance between $1.45 and $1.47 remains the main hurdle for buyers. A successful breakout above that range could reopen momentum toward the $1.60 level as thin liquidity continues increasing volatility risks.
