- Ripple‘s XRP token briefly hit $1.64 on February 15, 2026, amid a broader market surge led by Bitcoin reaching $70,000.
- Despite a 7.2% drop in the past day, according to CoinGecko data, XRP has maintained a 1.3% gain over the previous week.
- XRP trading volume exceeded $1.2 billion in South Korea, dominating activity on major exchanges like Upbit and Bithumb.
Ripple’s XRP token made a notable move on February 15, 2026, briefly reclaiming the $1.64 price level during a weekend market resurgence. This rally occurred as Bitcoin soared to $70,000 before correcting to $68,000, with the larger crypto market largely following its trajectory.
However, the digital asset has since faced selling pressure. According to CoinGecko data, XRP’s price has fallen 7.2% in the last 24 hours and 29% over the previous month. Consequently, its ability to break past the current resistance at approximately $1.65 is now in question.
Meanwhile, XRP found robust support around the $1.40 level. Breaking above the $1.65 resistance could, therefore, propel its price toward the $1.90 mark.
The weekend’s price action coincided with a dramatic surge in trading volume in South Korea. Major exchanges Upbit and Bithumb reported a collective $1.20 billion in XRP volume within 24 hours.
Market interest in XRP has grown substantially over the past year. This follows the settlement of the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit and the subsequent launch of several spot XRP ETFs in late 2025.
Consequently, institutions like Goldman Sachs have entered the market, revealing holdings of approximately $152 million in XRP ETFs. XRP’s price is ultimately expected to benefit from broader market improvement and increased ETF inflows.
