U.S. spot XRP ETFs have notched 30 consecutive days of net inflows since launch, according to Coin Bureau, adding about $990.9 million and taking net assets to around $1.18 billion within a month.

MYX Finance’s token climbed about 8% in the last 24 hours, breaking above the $3 and $3.45 resistance bands and briefly hitting $3.9 on 15 December.

At the start of the week, XRP slipped 4%, leaving the token trading at nearly half of its historical peak, while market analysts project a potential advance toward $3 in early 2026.

These factors, combined with varying institutional allocation scenarios, are seen as key to whether XRP can break above $2.25 and eventually challenge the $3 mark.

Ripple Labs is piloting its US dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD on Ethereum layer-2 networks Optimism, Base, Ink, and Unichain, after first launching the token on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum in 2024.

RLUSD, issued under a New York Department of Financial Services Trust Company Charter, currently has a market capitalization of $1.3 billion.

On 16 December 2025, Ripple outlined a shift in how it develops RLUSD, treating it as regulated settlement infrastructure that can operate across multiple blockchains rather than a single-chain stablecoin. Following its conditional approval to act as a U.S. trust bank, the company is focusing RLUSD on layer-2 environments, emphasizing regulatory compliance, issuer control, and interoperability with XRP, while rolling out deployments slowly and permissionedly.
