TLDR

  • XRP hit a four-week high of $1.60 before pulling back to around $1.50–$1.52
  • XRP Ledger now has a record 7.7 million non-empty wallet addresses
  • Daily active addresses on XRPL reached a five-week high of 46,767

XRP traded around $1.50–$1.52 on Tuesday after briefly touching a four-week high of $1.60. The price has since pulled back, but on-chain data is showing strength beneath the surface.

The XRP Ledger now has 7.7 million non-empty wallet addresses. That is the highest number in the network’s 13-year history, according to data from Santiment.

Daily active addresses on the XRP Ledger also hit a five-week high of 46,767. The jump in activity lined up with the price move toward $1.60.

Analysts at Santiment said this shows network usage is growing even during market downturns. They noted investors appear to be buying XRP during price dips.

XRP also overtook BNB in market cap this week. Its market cap climbed to around $92 billion, putting it in fourth place among all cryptocurrencies.

Whale Accumulation Returns

XRP whale buying turned positive in March for the first time since November 2025. Data from CryptoQuant shows the 30-day moving average of whale flow flipped positive, ending four months of net selling.

Long-term holders also showed a sharp increase in accumulation. On March 1, the net position change among long-term investors exceeded 351 million XRP. That was the strongest single-day buying since February 1.

Exchange balances have also been falling. XRP held on exchanges has dropped to levels last seen in May 2021, which typically suggests less selling pressure.

Key Price Levels to Watch

XRP has been stuck in the $1.50–$1.60 range for over six weeks. Analysts say the price needs to close above $1.60 to confirm a breakout.

Analyst CW8900 described the $1.50–$1.52 zone as a heavy “sell wall.” They added that a break above it would leave no major resistance until $1.95.

Analyst CryptoWZRD_ said holding above $1.51 could spark a quick rally toward the $2.00 level.

The $1.95 target aligns with the 200-day simple moving average and the measured target of a rounded bottom chart pattern.

If XRP fails to hold $1.50, the next support levels sit at $1.47 and $1.45. A deeper pullback could bring $1.40 back into view.

The bull-bear power indicator on Investing.com is currently in sell territory. Combined with rising trading volume, this points to a possible short-term slowdown.

XRP last reclaimed the $1.50–$1.60 zone in December 2024 and went on to rally 90% in under a week.

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet.  As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
