This rise reflects a solid foundation of buyer support, indicating that the asset could be gearing up for a potential breakout. The persistence of this trend highlights that XRP’s bullish momentum is not merely short-lived but part of a developing long-term move. On the other hand, the RSI is climbing with an even steeper slope of about 9 to 10, confirming that momentum continues to build strongly. This synchronization between price and RSI movement adds further credibility to the bullish narrative, as it shows no sign of divergence that might warn of a reversal. Macro Outlook: XRP Displays Clear Upward Momentum EGRAG CRYPTO highlighted that the synchronized upward movement of both XRP’s price and the RSI confirms a strong bullish trend. According to the analysis, the consistent upward momentum reflects sustained buying activity, suggesting that XRP remains well-positioned for further gains.

The lack of divergence suggests that the current rally is healthy and likely to continue without an immediate risk of reversal. In conclusion, the analyst described the overall setup as highly bullish for XRP. The continued harmony between price action and RSI suggests that upward momentum could persist, paving the way for a significant move higher. A decisive close above the $4 mark, he noted, would represent a key milestone for XRP’s long-term outlook, symbolizing a potential step closer to what the community refers to as “Valhalla.” Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

According to State Street’s 2025 global research, big investors are moving past trial runs and making clear bets on digital assets and blockchain. Related Reading: XRP Fear Index Spikes To 6-Month High, And That Could Spark Its Next Breakout Nearly 60% of surveyed institutional investors say they plan to raise their crypto allocation in the next year. Average exposure is expected to double within three years, signaling firm plans rather than idle talk. Institutions Are Boosting Digital Asset Allocations Reports have disclosed that private markets are the first target. Private equity and private fixed income topped the list for tokenization, as firms look to open up illiquid holdings and make them easier to trade. By 2030, a majority of respondents expect between 10–24% of institutional investments to be made through tokenized instruments. That is a big change from pilots and proofs of concept. Our 2025 global research on #digitalassets and emerging technologies reveals a decisive shift in adoption and strategic commitment among institutional investors toward #tokenization and blockchain-enabled transformation. Read more: https://t.co/hzk1f3dZ1O pic.twitter.com/tULwI2Ke88 — State Street (@StateStreet) October 9, 2025 Benefits Cited By Investors Investors gave clear reasons for the push. Increased transparency was named by 52% as a key benefit. Faster trading was picked by 39%, and lower compliance costs by 32%. Almost half of those surveyed said they expect cost savings of more than 40% thanks to better transparency. Those figures help explain why more firms are making moves now instead of waiting. Operational Shifts Underway Based on reports, the shift is not only about portfolios. Forty percent of respondents already have a dedicated digital assets team or business unit. Nearly a third said blockchain and related digital operations are now part of their wider digital plans. Joerg Ambrosius, president of Investment Services at State Street, said institutional clients are treating these tools as strategic levers for growth and efficiency, not just experiments. Donna Milrod, chief product officer at State Street, added that firms are building teams and planning new products such as tokenized bonds, on-chain wrappers, stablecoins and tokenized cash. One in five firms plan to set up new digital asset groups in the near term. That suggests organizational change will follow the capital commitments. Many managers are rewriting workflows and adding staff with blockchain skills.
