Revolut Launches Full UK Banking Services After Securing Regulatory Approval

The XRP funding rate has been on the decline after the price hit its 2025 peak 
above 2025, and this trend has continued into the new year. Between February 
and March 2026, the XRP funding rate spent most of the time in the negative, 
and this speaks to how investors are currently viewing the cryptocurrency. 
Analyst Cryptoinsightuk points this out in a recent X post, alluding to what 
this could mean for the digital asset going forward. XRP Funding Rate Hasn’t 
Been This Low Since 2022 Cryptoinsightuk’s post highlights the interesting XRP 
trend, showing that in the last 39 days, 31 of those days have been spent with 
negative funding rates. This means that only a few days out of the month of 
February saw a funding rate in the positive. And now, the month of March seems 
to be following the same trend. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Repeating 2022 
Playbook That Triggered Crash To $17,500 The post also includes the other 
times that the altcoin has seen a trend like this and what eventually 
happened. The most recent of these was back in 2025, when the funding rate 
spent the better part of the months of March and April in the negative. 
However, what followed was a massive XRP price rally, eventually leading to 
levels not seen since 2018. While this did not lead the XRP price to new all- 
time highs, it pushed it to new yearly peaks, a rally that took investors by 
surprise. Moving further back, the crypto analyst points out that another 
period when a similar trend had been seen was back in 2022. This came with the 
crash of the FTX crypto exchange as the market buckled under negative news. 
Eventually, though, this trend would mark the bottom for XRP, and the price 
began to rise in the following year. Related Reading: Dogecoin Remains Inside 
Falling Channel, Bulls Target Surge Above $0.1 Going by the previous 
performances, it is possible that the same trend could mark a bottom here once 
again. If this happens, then it will not be long until the XRP price begins to 
rise again. Additionally, such low funding rates suggest that more traders are 
short, making it a good time for a bounce. According to data from Coinglass, 
the funding rate is not the only metric that has suffered. The XRP open 
interest has also taken a nosedive since 2025, showing that traders are not 
participating in the market as much as they used to. Daily trading volume has 
also suffered, dropping from a peak of $78.85 billion at the tail end of 2024 
to below $4 billion at the time of this report. Featured image from Dall.E,
