Analysis
XRP slipped 1.9% over the past hour as market participants digested mixed XRP-specific headlines, including U.Today reporting that a prominent Ripple figure pushed back on renewed XRP ETF-related rumors, which can cool near-term bullish sentiment. At the same time, CoinDesk’s note on the XRP Ledger being part of a broader “AI agent payments” race may be longer-term constructive but didn’t provide an immediate catalyst to offset short-term uncertainty.
