Overview
- XRP fell through $1.35 after Friday’s $14.16 billion quarterly options expiry on Deribit and a drop in Bitcoin to $66,000.
- The token traded near $1.34 with about $2.2–$2.6 billion in 24-hour volume and a market value around $82 billion.
- Chart watchers now eye $1.28 as the next floor, with limited support below until roughly $1.11 if selling deepens.
- Binance futures positioning rose about 15% this week, and long-liquidation waves on March 18, 21, and 26 show fragile bullish bets that can speed up swings.
- Ripple introduced AI-assisted testing, a dedicated red team, and stricter reviews for the XRP Ledger as a Goldman Sachs filing showed about $152 million in XRP ETF exposure.
