Digital asset giant Grayscale has released new findings showing that XRP has become the second most talked-about cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. The research team notes that financial advisors are fielding a steady flow of client inquiries about XRP, reflecting high investor curiosity. However, this spike in attention contrasts sharply with XRP's weak price performance, as it hovers near key support levels.
Grayscale Report: XRP Stands Out as the Most Discussed Asset After Bitcoin
The Grayscale research team observed: “Advisors are regularly faced with questions about XRP from their clients. Across the community, XRP stands out as the most discussed asset after Bitcoin.” Despite the elevated discussion, XRP's price charts remain bearish. Analysts suggest that sustained community interest could eventually spill over into price movements if the trend continues.
Technical Hurdles: $1.45 as a Critical Near-Term Barrier
From a technical standpoint, XRP is struggling to hold above the $1.45 mark — a pivotal resistance level. Should the downtrend persist, sellers may target levels below $1.30. Conversely, if XRP stabilizes above $1.45 and closes the week higher than $1.40, a short-term bounce toward $1.90 could offer relief to bulls. Traders are closely watching daily closes near $1.50 as a signal of returning strength. Analysts warn that a clear breakdown below $1.30 could invalidate bullish sentiment, potentially sending prices as low as $1.11 in the coming period.
Whale Accumulation: On-Chain Data Hints at Potential Rebound
On-chain data reveals that large investors, often called “whales,” have been gradually accumulating XRP during the correction. Subtle but notable wallet activity suggests risk-tolerant participants are quietly building positions in anticipation of a rebound. For now, buyers remain cautious, but if support fails, near-term volatility is likely to persist. Industry experts maintain that a sustainable recovery may only materialize if XRP decisively clears strong resistance levels — otherwise, swings and uncertainty could dominate trading.
