XRP is back on the move. The token jumped above $2.10, posting its strongest 24-hour gain in weeks as activity on the XRP Ledger surged toward 1 million daily transactions. The combination of rising on-chain usage and a technical breakout has traders turning more optimistic, with $2.20 and $2.28 now in focus as the next upside levels.
Network activity hits a five-month high
Usage on the XRP Ledger has picked up sharply since mid-December. Daily transactions have climbed back to around 1 million, according to Ripple’s public dashboard — the highest level in roughly five months.
The increase points to growing real-world use, helped by higher remittance volumes and deeper integration with financial platforms using XRP for settlement. In the past, similar spikes in network activity have often come just ahead of meaningful price moves, and this latest jump lines up neatly with XRP’s recent breakout.
XRP technical picture turns bullish
From a chart perspective, momentum has clearly shifted. XRP has broken above a descending trendline that had limited price gains since November, opening the door to higher levels.
On the four-hour chart, the 50-EMA has crossed above the 100-EMA, a classic bullish signal. RSI sits near 72, showing strong buying pressure but not yet suggesting a blow-off top. Candlestick patterns add to the positive setup, with a “three white soldiers” formation highlighting sustained demand during the breakout.
If XRP consolidates around the $2.05–$2.10 zone, that could provide a base for a move toward resistance at $2.21 and $2.28. Holding above $1.97 remains key to keeping the broader uptrend intact.
Institutional interest and a longer-term view
Improving sentiment around crypto ETFs and renewed attention on Ripple’s institutional payment partnerships are also helping support XRP’s rally. If prices can stay above $2.20, some analysts see room for a move into the $2.40–$2.50 range in early 2026.
More importantly, XRP’s price strength is now lining up with rising transaction volumes on the ledger. That alignment suggests the token may be regaining its role as a fast, efficient settlement asset — driven more by actual usage than short-term speculation.
If that trend continues, XRP could be entering a more sustainable growth phase.
Maxi Doge builds momentum in the meme coin space
Away from major assets, Maxi Doge is drawing attention as one of the more active meme coin presales this year. The project has raised over $4.4 million so far, putting it among the stronger early performers in the category.
Rather than relying purely on hype, Maxi Doge emphasizes participation. The project runs regular ROI competitions, community challenges, and themed events aimed at keeping engagement high throughout the presale. Its leverage-inspired mascot and fitness-style branding help it stand out in a crowded meme coin market.
The $MAXI token also includes a staking feature, allowing holders to earn daily smart-contract rewards. Stakers gain access to exclusive competitions and partner events, encouraging longer-term involvement rather than quick flips.
With $MAXI currently priced at $0.0002765 and another presale price increase approaching, Maxi Doge is positioning itself as a meme project focused on sustained community engagement rather than short-lived hype.
