XRP price stays range-bound despite Ripple's DeFi push and RLUSD stablecoin launch amid macro uncertainty.

Ripple has expanded the XRP Ledger's utility with new DeFi initiatives and launched the RLUSD stablecoin in partnership with OKX, aiming to boost liquidity and institutional interest. However, XRP's price remains range-bound around $1.30 due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and cautious risk appetite in crypto markets. Key factors for future price momentum include clearer U.S. regulatory guidance and increased institutional inflows, while adoption metrics like RLUSD usage and XRPL DeFi growth will be critical to watch.
