Trading in XRP accelerated sharply after Ripple launched Ripple Prime, its new enterprise-focused liquidity product. Within a single day, XRP rose 3.4% to $2.87 as institutional volumes spiked and on-chain activity strengthened. Market data showed ETF-linked inflows crossing $26.6 billion this year. Analysts credit increased adoption of blockchain-based settlement systems for driving the move. Ripple’s strategy aims to make Prime a global bridge between regulated banks and tokenized asset networks, expanding its dominance in corporate payments infrastructure.
