XRP in 2026: Wallets Hit Records as Price Holds Near $1.44 and Leverage Stays Long

As of March 21, XRP was trading near $1.44, down 0.76% over 24 hours but up 3.15% on the week, with a market cap around $88.3 billion and 24-hour volume near $1.58 billion. On-chain and positioning data diverge: transaction activity has risen toward nearly 3 million per day while whale wallets decline, and derivatives show long exposure that could amplify moves if key support fails.
