Ripple’s global payments narrative may be gaining fresh momentum as one of its 
key partners, Thunes, unveils a new development that could further strengthen 
cross-border settlement infrastructure. As the demand for faster, cheaper, and 
more efficient international payments continues to rise, strategic 
partnerships like Thunes play a crucial role in expanding real-world utility 
across the XRP ecosystem. Thunes Expands Its Role In The Global Payments 
Ecosystem A recent announcement from Thunes could significantly strengthen 
XRP&#8217;s position in the global payments landscape. Analyst XFinanceBull on X has 
revealed that the company has officially launched real-time payment 
capabilities in the United States through a direct connection with a Tier 1 
financial institution, enabling access to ACH, Same-Day ACH, and all real-time 
payment rails. Related Reading: Key Volume Signals Are Driving XRP Momentum 
Amid Market Uncertainty The development comes as Thunes continues to 
strengthen its international footprint. Thunes holds 50 Money Transmitter 
Licenses, allowing it to operate across every US state and territory, 
mirroring Ripple’s regulatory reach. Both companies now independently have 
institutional-grade access to US clearing systems. Thunes network already 
spans 140 countries, supports 90 currencies, and connects to more than 12 
billion mobile wallets, stablecoin wallets, and bank account endpoints. 
Following its expanded partnership with Ripple in September 2025, Thunes 
integrated blockchain and digital asset technology into its direct global 
network, leveraging Ripple payments to enhance its SmartX Treasury System. 
Meanwhile, Thunes has plugged real-time US settlement into the same network 
that uses the Ripple blockchain payments infrastructure and XRP as a bridge 
asset. Over 140 countries can now send money to the US through rails connected 
to Ripple technology. Ripple payments have near-global coverage with over 90 
payout markets processing more than $70 billion in volume. This integration 
gives XRP a direct pathway into Tier 1 US banking through a partner that holds 
licenses in every state. Institutional Interest Fuels XRP Ledger&#8217;s Next Phase 
Of Growth The XRP Ledger real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem officially surpassed 
$3 billion in tokenized value in April. According to an analyst known as 
BankXRP on X, the incredible insights shared by Luke Judges, Partner Director 
at RippleX, at Istanbul Blockchain Week, break down exactly where the momentum 
is heading for real-world asset tokenization. Furthermore, the $3 billion 
milestone is driven by a highly diversified mix of assets, underscoring 
Ledger&#8217;s expanding institutional utility across multiple segments of finance.

Expansion Looking ahead, the next big wave of growth is expected to center 
around cash and cash-equivalent assets. Money market funds and US Treasury 
bills, alongside tokenized equities, are being viewed as prime targets for 
infrastructure disruption. The broader vision is moving toward a globally 
distributed financial system where regulated assets can trade seamlessly 
across asset classes through a unified order book. Featured image from Peakpx,

XRP has spent the better part of four months carving out a trading range with 
a series of contested highs and lows that kept both bulls and bears engaged. 
That appearance of stability is now under serious threat, as the 
cryptocurrency has returned to the exact support level that anchored its range 
lows throughout the consolidation. XRP losing this support level will 
determine the next significant directional move. XRP Returns To The Same Range 
Low XRP&#8217;s price action on the daily candlestick timeframe chart shows the 
cryptocurrency is currently locked inside a consolidation range that has been 
forming since February 2026. The upper boundary of the range is around $1.55, 
which has capped multiple rallies since February, while the lower boundary is 
around the $1.26 to $1.28 area. Related Reading: This XRP Move Has Only 
Happened 4 Times In History And Here’s What Happened Each Time The analysis, 
which was posted on the social media platform X by crypto analyst ‘Guy on the 
Earth,’ was made when XRP was trading near $1.279, almost directly on that 
lower boundary, but the token has since moved lower to around $1.16. That loss 
of support matters because the range low had been one of the cleanest 
technical levels on the chart. XRP previously reacted from this area during 
earlier pullbacks in March and April, making it a point where buyers were 
expected to defend the structure again. However, now that the situation is 
different, a weekly close below the range would weaken that assumption and 
suggest that the months-long sideways movement has ended in favor of sellers. 
The Downside Scenarios: From $1.10 To $0.63 Analyst Guy on the Earth, whose 
chart is the basis of this analysis, laid out the case that losing the current 
support zone puts XRP on a path to $1.10, which is just below the wick low in 
early February. That scenario already appears to be unfolding, as the 
cryptocurrency is now trading below the range floor, down by 6.1% in the past 
24 hours. Related Reading: Key Volume Signals Are Driving XRP Momentum Amid 
Market Uncertainty The more consequential question is how far a sustained 
breakdown extends from $1.10. The most probable bottom zone is between $0.75 
and $0.95 if range support is lost and a deeper correction takes hold. Analyst 
Crypto Patel, weighing in independently on X, pointed to the $1.10-$1.30 range 
as a current accumulation zone and said if that support breaks, buying 
anywhere between $0.65 to $0.85 could become a generational entry. That range 
would be painful for holders, but it would still fit within a larger bullish- 
market pullback if XRP eventually stabilizes and resumes higher. The worst- 
case bullish scenario in the analysis is around $0.63, which would mean XRP 
gives back nearly all of its bull-market gains since late 2023 before finding 
a durable support. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
