XRP and much of the broader crypto market managed a short-lived bounce on 
Monday after last week’s sharp drop to around $1.04. The recovery, however, 
comes with fresh cautions hanging over the token. Alex Carchidi, expert from 
The Motley Fool, argues that two important XRP-related metrics have turned 
notably bearish over the last 30 days. If the situation does not improve soon, 
he warns, it could undermine the argument that XRP is the “go-to” way to gain 
exposure to institutional activity in the tokenization market. Two Bearish 
Signals Emerge Carchidi points first to the XRP Ledger’s (XRPL) role in 
tokenized assets. He notes that the chain is holding about $384.5 million in 
tokenized assets, which is down 11% over the 30 days ending on June 5. Just as 
importantly, Carchidi says this breaks a prior stretch in which the value of 
tokenized assets on the network had been rising more steadily. The decline is 
not happening in isolation either. Alongside the drop in tokenized asset 
value, XRPL’s share of the overall tokenized-asset market has slipped to just 
over 1%, while tokenization activity on other chains appears to be picking up 
pace. Related Reading: XRP To $1 Or A Violent Reversal? Analyst Says Liquidity 
Setup Is Flashing The second metric Carchidi highlights is even more 
concerning. According to his report, the XRPL’s 30-day tokenized asset 
transfer volume has fallen 59% to roughly $54.1 million. In his view, this is 
the kind of slowdown that matters because inactive or stagnant tokenized 
assets don’t generate the economic “motion” that a blockchain ecosystem 
depends on. Carchidi argues that when tokenized assets stop moving, it 
suggests asset managers may be holding positions rather than deploying capital 
to generate yield. Conditional Warning For XRP Carchidi frames the issue in 
practical terms. If tokenized assets are not being transferred, he says the 
network’s economy is not demonstrating its value, which can weaken the bullish 
case for XRP in the tokenization narrative. In other words, the problem isn’t 
simply that tokenized assets are lower in value—it’s that the activity 
associated with those assets appears to be fading. Still, Carchidi also 
acknowledges that the picture is not uniformly bleak. He points to growth in 
other parts of the XRPL ecosystem during the same 30-day window. Specifically, 
real-world asset (RWA) holders on the XRPL rose 275%, bringing the total to 
105 holders. At the same time, stablecoin transfer volume increased by 118%, 
reaching $4.5 billion. That contrast, Carchidi suggests, indicates that 
capital is still flowing through the network, just not as much through the 
tokenized asset pipeline that investors watch most closely. Because of that, 
he does not present the decline in tokenized asset transfer volume as an 
immediate “fire alarm.” Related Reading: Ripple Partner Bank of America

tokenized asset metrics continue to shrink over the next quarter or 
so—especially if outflows accelerate or volume falls even faster—then the 
bullish thesis for XRP tied to tokenization institutional positioning could 
face a serious credibility problem. For now, the recovery after $1.04 to 
current trading levels around $1.18 may be a step up for sentiment, but the 
broader tokenization indicators remain the key question for what happens next.
