XRP cleared $1.14 this weekend with conviction, posting a two-point-eight-seven percent gain to one dollar forty-five cents on volume running over two hundred percent above its daily average. That's the kind of move that gets attention.
What we can say is that twenty-four-hour trading volume jumped sixty-two percent to one-point-eight billion dollars. Upbit in South Korea saw XRP volume exceed Bitcoin on that exchange.
There's one structural development that cuts through some of that noise. Binance XRP reserves have fallen twenty percent since November, dropping from three-point-two-seven billion tokens to two-point-six billion.
Shift to Washington, and the picture is more complicated. The Senate adjourned for recess without holding a floor vote on the CLARITY Act.
Meanwhile, Ripple secured its full MiCA license, authorizing operations across all thirty European Economic Area countries. That's a genuine regulatory win.
The broader ETF picture adds context. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are now eight consecutive weeks into outflows, with Bitcoin shedding five-hundred-twenty-seven million dollars last week.
