XRP Price Jumps as Wealth Managers Show Growing Interest
The XRP price has seen a 4% increase today and is currently trading at $1.38, after touching a low of $1.3409.
A Bitwise research analyst, Ryan Rasmussen, presented to a group of approximately 400 wealth managers this week, discussing various cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Solana, Hyperliquid, stablecoins, and tokenization.
XRP generated the most questions during the presentation, with Rasmussen describing the interest level as 'a lot.'
A companion audience poll found that 67% of attendees currently hold no crypto allocation at all, yet 60% expect prices to be higher by the end of 2026 and plan to allocate within the next year.
This disparity between sentiment and action adds anecdotal weight to the thesis that XRP is shifting from retail speculation toward regulated portfolio exposure.
