XRP Drops 5.26% Amid $151M Outflow and Ripple-Ondo Integration as Legal Decision Looms

XRPUSDT experienced a 5.26% price decline over the past 24 hours, falling from a 24h open of $2.2509 to $2.1326 on Binance. This pullback is primarily attributed to profit-taking after a recent multi-week rally, ongoing regulatory uncertainty as the market awaits the court’s decision on the Ripple-SEC settlement, and a moderation in core XRP Ledger activity despite continued interest from institutional investors and new DeFi integrations. Notable developments include a $151 million XRP outflow from exchanges, Ripple’s integration of Ondo Finance’s tokenized U.S. Treasuries, and anticipation of an EVM-compatible sidechain launch in 2025. Trading volume remains high at approximately $4.46 billion, with XRP’s price range-bound between $2.20 and $2.55 as traders closely monitor legal and regulatory headlines for the next catalyst.
