Weekly performance metrics on XRP Yahoo Finance put XRP up roughly 3.2%, outperforming several altcoin peers, with analysts suggesting cross-border settlement adoption as a key driver. Of course, whether Ripple Labs actually has an increasing involvement with policymakers in D.C. remains to be seen—and even if they do, it doesn’t mean XRP is guaranteed any kind of upward trajectory. XRP whales have been offloading their holdings over the past several days, contributing to the price slowdown. Addresses holding between 100,000 and 1 million XRP have sold more than 100 million tokens in just 10 days, signaling a noticeable decline in conviction among major investors. Sentiment oscillators tracked on XRP Yahoo Finance show a shift toward "neutral to positive" from last week’s bearish bias, coinciding with a mild uptick in institutional coverage.
