Ripple CEO Says XRP Community Remains ‘Top of Mind’ Amid Price Struggles

The chief executive of Ripple has reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the $XRP ecosystem, saying the “$XRP family has and always will be top of mind for Ripple,” a message that comes as the token struggles to regain upward momentum following recent market volatility.

The reassurance followed renewed discussion around $XRP’s role as a bridge asset for cross-border payments after Ripple outlined plans for compliance-focused decentralized finance infrastructure on the $XRP Ledger. Supporters welcomed the statement, noting that it reinforces the company’s long-standing strategy of keeping $XRP central to its payments vision.

Price Struggles Near Recent Levels

The comments come at a time when $XRP is trading near $1.44, with the broader cryptocurrency market still recovering from a sharp sell-off that pushed many major digital assets lower. Although $XRP recently attempted a rebound along with the wider market, the rally did not hold, and the token has since moved into a consolidation phase.

$XRP Price Consolidates After Recent Volatility

In the short term, $XRP’s price action remains uncertain. Market data shows the token has been moving mostly sideways after a recent swing high, with no clear breakout pattern yet visible.

Support levels around $1.36 and $1.31 are being closely watched, with a deeper key support near $1.19 seen as critical. A drop below these levels could open the door to further downside pressure, while holding above them may help maintain the possibility that a broader market bottom has already formed.

On the upside, traders say $XRP would need to break above nearby resistance levels around $1.55 and then $1.63–$1.64 to signal stronger recovery momentum.

Analysts say the token has not yet formed a strong bullish breakout pattern, and the short-term trend remains uncertain.
