XRP Bounces Back as Ripple Headlines Spark Renewed Trader Appetite

As of January 23, 2025, XRP is trading around $1.95, indicating a slight recovery from the past few days. The sudden reversal is due to recent developments in Ripple, which have renewed buying and could lift prices towards $2. This indicates building momentum after several days of pushing down. 

Ripple Announces Partnership with DXC 

On January 21, 2026, Ripple announced a major partnership with DXC Technology to scale XRP payments with other international banking networks. Ripple’s technology will be integrated into DXC’s Hogan platform. The Hogan platform currently manages over $5 trillion in deposits and supports about 300 million accounts worldwide. 

This integration enables banks to make payments on the blockchain using digital assets like XRP without replacing existing systems. 

Ripple’s Regulatory Milestones in the UK and EU 

In January 2026, Ripple’s UK subsidiary, Ripple Markets UK Ltd., secured two major approvals from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). According to the approval, Ripple can issue electronic money and provide regulatory payment services. It also facilitates cross-border transactions for local institutions. 

On January 14, Ripple received a “Green Light Letter” from Luxembourg’s regulator, the CSSF. Once the agreement is finalized, it allows Ripple to “passport” its services across all 27 EU member states without any additional approvals. 

Securing more than 75 licenses globally, Ripple is becoming one of the most heavily regulated crypto platforms. After these announcements, XRP saw slight improvements. Some analysts predict a bullish trend, where prices could push towards $2.50 to $3.20.  

XRP Rebounds With Ripple’s News

XRP started around $1.84 on January 1, 2026. On 22, XRP is trading at approximately around $1.95. The push can carry the price towards $1.98 to $1.99. The hourly candles show uncertainty; however, the price continues above the midpoint of the day’s range. It suggests that buyers have some control, which contributes to the recovery. 

XRP’s current price is below its 50-day and 200-day EMAs, indicating a continuing selling pressure. The 50-day EMA is near $2.05, which acts as an immediate resistance level. The immediate support is around $1.85, which is followed by a stronger support level at $1.75 and $1.50. 

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is around 58, suggesting a “Buy” signal, which is a positive indicator despite the lower moving average signals.  XRP price resilience is not about hype, but more about institutional adoption. 

Since November 2025, EFT has recorded significant inflows. After the launch, XRP ETFs have accumulated over $1.22 billion in cumulative net inflows. However, as Trump’s tariff threats hang over European countries related to the U.S. acquisition of Greenland, XRP ETF recorded the largest daily outflows, totalling about $53 million. 

Final Thoughts 

XRP’s price recovery towards $1.95 indicates investor confidence. The news about Ripple’s latest regulatory milestones and increased institutional adoption of the technology plays a crucial role in the price rebound. The price stabilization despite recent liquidations suggests a strong foundation. If the current levels sustain, the prices could break above the $2.00 to $2.05 mark. Analysts see this as a potential point for bullish trend reversal, potentially reaching $2.50 to $3.00.
