The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has achieved a new milestone, hitting $3 billion in total tokenized value on the network. Crypto pundit X Finance Bull highlighted the significance of this milestone, although it looks unlikely to have any impact on price for now. XRP Ledger Hits $3 Billion In Total RWA Value According to data from RWA.xyz, the XRP Ledger has reached $3 billion in total RWA value, representing a 59% increase over the last 30 days. The network currently has 291 RWA projects on the network. Crypto pundit X Finance Bull noted that in a market where people keep acting like utility does not matter, money is still finding its way to chains built for real finance.

In another X post, X Finance Bull cited Ripple executive Luke Judges, who said that the total tokenized RWA value on the XRP Ledger is already closer to $3.75 billion. The pundit remarked that the goal is for the XRP Ledger to rank first in total RWA value, while the network currently ranks 5th. Ripple is currently one of the projects tokenizing on the XRP Ledger with its RLUSD stablecoin, which has a total value of almost $382 million on the network. Ondo Finance has also tokenized its short-term government treasuries on the XRP Ledger, with a total value of $323 million. Justtoken’s JMWH is the largest tokenized asset on the XRP Ledger with a total value of $1.76 billion. The token represents real-world energy-backed transactions. Justtoken also focuses on tokenizing several commodities. Milestone Unlikely To Impact XRP Price For Now Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto stated that XRP’s wave 2 move to the downside is not done yet, signaling that this XRPL milestone is unlikely to impact price for now. The analyst also mentioned that the market is not done shaking out weak hands, with XRP’s momentum still stalling and the structure weakening. Related Reading: The Crash Is Over? XRP Price About To Hit ‘Significant Bottom’ Commenting on the current price action, Egrag Crypto stated that XRP is sitting inside the red flag zone between $1.46 and $1.80. The key levels to watch are $1.46 (immediate support), $1.13 (confirming a breakdown), and $0.90 to $0.73 (likely the wave 2 completion). The analyst noted that the bearish path is preferred for now. As such, XRP losing $1.46 is likely to trigger a continuation lower toward $1.13, then a drop below $1. This is expected to trigger a deep Wave 2 reset before expansion. Meanwhile, a bullish invalidation will occur if XRP reclaims the $1.80-$2 range and closes weekly above it. This will then lead to a Wave 3 expansion, with targets of $5, $8, and $13. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.39, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is showing signs of calm, but the underlying structure tells a different story. Following a major breakout, the price has shifted into a tight consolidation range, often a precursor to powerful expansion moves. With key support levels holding and momentum quietly building, the stage appears set for a breakout that could catch many off guard. XRP Breaks Free: Multi-Year Compression Finally Gives Way EGRAG CRYPTO highlighted a major structural shift in XRP that many market participants may be overlooking. According to the analyst, XRP has broken out of a multi-year compression phase spanning from 2018 to 2024, marking a significant macro development. After reaching the 1.618 Fibonacci level around $195 billion in market cap, price action has since entered a consolidation phase. Related Reading: XRP Signals Massive Breakout: $10 Target In Sight As Momentum Builds Despite the pause, XRP continues to hold firmly above the 1.0 Fibonacci level, roughly in the $73–74 billion range. The analyst emphasized that this behavior should not be mistaken for weakness. Instead, it reflects a classic re-accumulation phase before a potential expansion to higher levels. A key level to monitor is the $73 billion mark, which now acts as a critical line in the sand. Holding above this zone keeps the broader bullish structure intact and allows it to flip into a strong macro support level. Such stability reinforces the idea that XRP is undergoing accumulation rather than distribution, strengthening the case for further upside. However, a break below $73 could cause a decline toward an ascending trendline support, signaling the need for a deeper reset before any continuation higher. Why Holding $73B Keeps The Bullish Structure Alive EGRAG CRYPTO went on to emphasize that the focus should remain on the upside as long as XRP holds above the critical $73 billion level. Maintaining this threshold keeps the overall structure intact, while momentum continues to build beneath the surface, with the next expansion move gradually taking shape. Related Reading: XRP Sends Bullish On-Chain Signal Despite Weak Price Action Looking at the broader picture, he outlined a macro target of $600 billion in market capitalization, aligned with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. Reaching this level would place XRP near the $10 price mark, highlighting the potential magnitude of the move. He also described the current market cycle as a sequence of compression, breakout, retest, and expansion. Based on this framework, XRP is currently in the retest phase, a crucial stage that often determines whether the breakout will lead to a sustained upward trend or require further consolidation. The $73–74 billion zone continues to define the bullish boundary, while $46 billion (0.702 Fibonacci) serves as strong underlying support. Losing the $73 billion level could trigger a deeper reset before continuation. In his view, respecting and defending this level is critical because once the real move begins, it is likely to unfold rapidly rather than gradually.
