XRP has fallen over 30% in the past year despite increased adoption in global payments infrastructure. Analysts debate whether XRP's real-world utility as a bridge currency can drive sustained price gains, with some skeptical about lasting demand since tokens are quickly traded in cross-border transactions. Ripple's CTO argues that XRP creates structural demand through capital efficiency and liquidity provisioning. Institutional interest appears steady, with XRP spot ETFs seeing about $80 million in net inflows in April 2026, suggesting gradual accumulation rather than speculative spikes.
