Ripple Moves to Secure Australian Financial Services License for APAC Payments

XRP is currently consolidating after several volatile trading sessions 
triggered by geopolitical tensions surrounding the Iran conflict, which 
briefly shook risk markets and pushed cryptocurrencies into sharp intraday 
swings. While price action across the crypto sector remains sensitive to macro 
developments, recent data suggests that parts of the altcoin market may be 
beginning to stabilize. Related Reading: TRON Joins Agentic AI Foundation As 
AI Systems Move Toward Real-World Deployment A report from CryptoQuant analyst 
Darkfost indicates that, despite the uncertainty that has weighed on digital 
assets in recent weeks, altcoins are starting to display early signals of 
resilience. One of the key indicators supporting this view is the performance 
of Total3, a metric that tracks the combined market capitalization of altcoins 
excluding Ethereum. According to the data, Total3 is currently consolidating 
within a range between $640 billion and $740 billion. Since the beginning of 
February, the index has posted a gain of roughly 11%, suggesting that a 
portion of capital remains allocated to altcoins even in a fragile liquidity 
environment. However, the broader market structure remains selective. 
Liquidity across the crypto sector is still relatively constrained, while the 
number of competing altcoin projects continues to grow. In this environment, 
capital tends to concentrate in a limited number of assets, making careful 
asset selection increasingly important for investors navigating the current 
market cycle. Rising Withdrawals and ETF Demand Signal Selective Interest 
Darkfost also points to several signals suggesting that XRP is attracting 
renewed attention despite the broader market uncertainty. One of the most 
notable developments is the recent spike in withdrawal transactions on 
Binance. According to the data, the number of XRP withdrawals has increased 
sharply on several occasions in recent days, including a surge of more than 
14,000 transactions recorded on March 6. This type of activity often indicates 
that some investors are moving assets away from exchanges and into private 
wallets. In market terms, such behavior can signal accumulation, as 
participants withdraw tokens they intend to hold rather than keep available 
for immediate trading. The trend is unfolding alongside growing institutional 
interest in XRP-related investment products. XRP exchange-traded funds have 
reportedly accumulated more than $1.4 billion in total inflows, highlighting 
sustained demand despite the challenging macroeconomic environment affecting 
digital assets. Institutional exposure also appears to be gradually 
increasing. Reports suggest that Goldman Sachs currently holds more than 83 
million XRP, illustrating how certain large financial players are beginning to 
monitor or gain exposure to the asset. If these dynamics persist, XRP could 
continue attracting a share of the limited liquidity circulating within the 
altcoin market, where capital increasingly concentrates in a small group of 
assets. Related Reading: XRP Trading Interest Fades: Exchange Transactions 
Fall To Historic Lows XRP Consolidates Near Key Support After Prolonged 
Downtrend XRP continues to trade near the $1.35–$1.40 region following an 
extended corrective phase that has defined its market structure since late 
2025. The 3-day chart shows the asset stabilizing after a sharp decline 
earlier this year that pushed price from above $2.20 down toward the 
$1.10–$1.20 range, where buyers briefly stepped in to absorb selling pressure. 
Despite the recent stabilization, the broader trend remains bearish. XRP 
trades below its major moving averages, including the 50-period and 100-period 
trends, which now slope downward and act as dynamic resistance zones. The 
long-term 200-period moving average near the $1.90 region represents a more 
significant structural barrier that the market would need to reclaim to shift 
the broader trend. Related Reading: Bitcoin Exchange Reserves Fall To 2019 
Levels As ETFs And Corporate Treasuries Accumulate Price action over the past 
several weeks suggests a consolidation phase forming between roughly $1.25 and 
$1.45. This range has emerged after the February capitulation wick that 
briefly drove XRP to its cycle low. Since then, volatility has compressed as 
buyers and sellers search for equilibrium. For the market structure to 
improve, XRP would likely need to reclaim the $1.60–$1.70 resistance zone, 
where previous breakdowns accelerated the decline. Until that occurs, the 
chart indicates a period of sideways consolidation within a broader corrective 
trend. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
