XRP briefly pushed toward $1.49 on heavy volume before stalling again near a resistance zone that has capped rallies for months.

Ripple’s prime brokerage arm is gaining institutional traction as it expands margin financing. Ripple Prime secured a $200 million funding facility from Neuberger Berman to expand margin financing across traditional and digital asset trading markets.

XRP remains inside a larger multi-month compression structure. Repeated tests near resistance tend to weaken seller control over time, and the market has shown signs of improving momentum conditions as it reclaimed several shorter-term moving averages during the recent move higher.
