A prominent XRP holder is calling out what he says is a deliberate and recurring scheme to push the token’s price up before US markets open — then drive it back down once trading begins. Related Reading: Strategy’s Bitcoin Bet Now $3.35 Billion In The Red As Saylor Tells Investors To Wait The claim has split the XRP community between those who see a coordinated attack and those who say the data points to something far more routine. A Chart, A Pattern, And A Name For It The community figure at the center of the debate goes by Arthur online. He posted a historical price chart showing XRP surging toward key resistance levels in the hours before US markets open, then quickly reversing after trading begins. He counted nine separate instances of this sequence playing out since February, and says the same pattern has continued into March. Arthur did not stop at simply flagging the moves. He attached a name to what he believes is behind them — calling it a possible “new Jane Street playbook,” a reference to the well-known quantitative trading firm. ???? XRP IS BEING SYSTEMATICALLY MANIPULATED RIGHT NOW Pumps straight to key resistance → US market opens → dumps ???? Happens over and over. Is this the “NEW Jane Street playbook”? XRP down 44% from highs despite MASSIVE @Ripple news, ETF exposure, acquisitions, licenses…… pic.twitter.com/z6gqJwh6Eq — Arthur (@XrpArthur) March 13, 2026 He argued that the sheer number of occurrences, combined with the high volume of leveraged long positions open during each episode, makes coincidence an unlikely explanation. What adds weight to his frustration, at least from his perspective, is the broader backdrop. Ripple has made headlines recently with billion-dollar acquisitions and continued ETF inflows. Yet despite that activity, XRP remains roughly 40% below its recent highs. Every time the price tries to break out, sellers appear and push it back down. Arthur sees that as part of the same problem. Community Pushes Back On Manipulation Theory Not everyone in the XRP community bought the argument. A trader named Robert W entered the conversation and offered a different read. His position was that price moves of this kind tend to repeat across multiple assets when US market liquidity flows in at the open. Com’on Arthur. Not everything is manipulation. The same pattern appears across multiple assets when US liquidity enters the market. Looks more like normal liquidity shifts and profit-taking than a secret “Jane Street playbook”. — Robert W. | XRP Facts & Figures (@RobertXRPFF) March 13, 2026 Profit-taking and liquidity shifts, he said, are the more natural explanation — not a coordinated institutional strategy. Arthur rejected that outright. He pointed to the precision of the pattern: nine occurrences, each following a period of accumulation with a large build-up of long positions.

He called on several well-known voices in the XRP space — including Vincent Van Code, Crypto Eri, BankXRP, Digital Perspectives, and Chad Steingraber — to take a closer look at the chart themselves. The debate did not stay contained to price action for long. Another participant raised a broader critique of the crypto market, arguing that it runs largely on speculation.

Daily transaction volume on the XRP Ledger has surged to almost 3 million as of this week, a near-tripling of the approximately 1 million transactions recorded per day in mid-2025, according to data published by Evernorth, the largest public XRP treasury company. XRP Ledger Activity At Record Levels Recent data shows the XRP Ledger is now processing almost 3 million transactions daily, making it one of the busiest periods in the network’s history. The increase places current activity far above levels recorded earlier in the cycle, especially in the mid-2025 months, when XRP was pushing to new all-time highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Climbs Back To $73,000 As Short Squeeze Wipes Out $246M In Futures Bets The chart data revealed by Evernorth, sourced from XRPScan data, shows February 2026 as the strongest month in the observed window, with average daily transactions climbing to approximately 1.3 million over the month, up from 800,000 in May 2025 on a monthly average basis. Individual daily peaks in March are now at 3 million transactions. The XRP Ledger’s transaction count has not followed a linear path. Monthly average XRP transactions fluctuated between 800,000 and 950,000 from May to August 2025, before declining to lows around 700,000, and, on certain days in June and July, falling below that threshold. A recovery in the fourth quarter of 2025 proved modest, but transactions again fell during the end of the year. The XRP transactions changed meaningfully at the start of the current year. Monthly average transactions crossed above 1 million in January 2026, and daily transactions are now above 2.7 million in March 2026, up from a peak of 1 million per day in mid-2025. Chart Image From X. Source: @evernorthxrp Activity And Price Moving In Opposite Directions Although transactions are high, XRP’s market price has not yet followed the increase in network usage. The cryptocurrency is still moving within a relatively narrow range around $1.4. However, that gap between network utility and token pricing may not persist indefinitely. While speaking in a recent interview with Paul Barron, Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale Investments, discussed how regulatory clarity in the United States could impact XRP’s long-term valuation. According to the executive, products tied to XRP have already been attracting huge demand from investors. However, regulatory clarity, specifically the passage of the CLARITY Act, could influence a meaningful repricing of XRP. “I think we would see a pricing across a range of assets, certainly including XRP,” he said. Interestingly, the Grayscale executive also identified the long-term token supply outlook of XRP as a particular area where legislative clarity could increase its value. Related Reading: Strategy’s Bitcoin Bet Now $3.35 Billion In The Red As Saylor Tells Investors To Wait This idea of institutional involvement in XRP is also reflected through Evernorth. The company announced a $1 billion valuation in October 2025 to accumulate XRP as a treasury reserve. Evernorth’s concept follows the same strategy popularized by Strategy, which has built a corporate treasury around Bitcoin. However, instead of just holding, Evernorth seeks to grow XRP per share over time by participating in institutional lending and other DeFi activities.
