We view these developments positively as they reflect growing institutional validation of blockchain’s role in real-world finance, reinforcing the broader maturation of the digital-asset ecosystem.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s reaffirmation of XRP as the network’s “North Star” underscores its continued focus on enterprise payments and liquidity infrastructure, even in volatile conditions.

At the same time, Citibank’s successful fully onchain tokenized trade-finance transaction on Solana signals accelerating momentum in real-world asset tokenization and institutional testing of high-performance networks.

In the near term, however, overall liquidity remains subdued.

We expect XRP to trade within the $1.20–$1.65 range and SOL between $60–$90 as markets digest these developments without a clear macro catalyst to drive immediate breakouts.

Market participants should watch macro liquidity conditions, regulatory clarity around cross-border payments and tokenization frameworks, and measurable increases in onchain RWA volumes or custody launches.

Sustained progress in these areas could stabilize current ranges and eventually trigger capital rotation toward assets with stronger enterprise and infrastructure narratives, supporting healthier and more durable industry growth.
