XRP's Institutional Ambitions Falter as Price Stays Near Lows

The gap between Ripple's corporate trajectory and XRP's price action has rarely looked wider. The token is hovering near $1.03, barely above its 52-week low of $1.01, while the company behind it pushes deeper into institutional infrastructure.

Ripple announced investments in ZILO and Licuido on August 3, two firms building infrastructure for tokenized investment funds and institutional asset trading. The plan is to integrate their technology with the XRP Ledger to support the issuance, custody, and transfer of tokenized assets.

The market's response has been muted at best. XRP has shed roughly 5 percent over the past 30 days and sits nearly 69 percent below its August 2025 all-time high.
