XRP tests $1 level as derivatives cool and stop-loss pressure rises

XRP has slid toward the $1 level, with investors’ stop-loss selling expanding at the fastest pace since the 2022 selloff. XRP fell to $1.02, its lowest since February, and market unease has persisted despite a rebound.

Most respondents expect global gold reserves to keep rising and anticipate a lower share for the dollar, while bitcoin drew little interest as a sovereign reserve asset.
