XRP Price Ticks Up as TrustLinq Integrates Ripple Payments
XRP is up 0.61% to $1.40 as Swiss-regulated platform TrustLinq integrated Ripple Payments into its live infrastructure. This boosted investor sentiment, driving a 135% surge in trading volume to $2.7 billion on Monday.
The payment integration will allow users to send funds from self-custodial wallets for direct settlement to bank accounts across more than 170 countries and 80 currencies.
Crypto analysts said the partnership is bullish for XRP as it expands real-world utility for Ripple’s technology, directly supporting its core use case in cross-border payments and potentially increasing transaction volume on the network.
XRP’s slight gain closely followed a broader Bitcoin-led market rally, with technical confirmation as the price broke above a key resistance level.
The price rise also aligns with news that Ripple Prime joined a Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) working group alongside BlackRock and Bank of America to advance asset tokenisation.
Crypto analysts said this validates Ripple’s role in building next-gen financial infrastructure and boosts institutional confidence. The partnership is a tangible step toward mainstream adoption, directly addressing a core investor narrative for XRP.
Briefly today, XRP broke above the $1.40 resistance level—a previous ceiling—with 24-hour volume surging 135% to $2.65 billion, confirming buyer conviction.
The move was amplified by positive market-wide sentiment and validated by a key technical breakout. Technical traders are watching for sustained volume to confirm the breakout; a close back below $1.40 would signal a false break.
The immediate path hinges on holding $1.40 as new support. The next major resistance is the supply zone at $1.45. The CLARITY Act faces a critical Senate Banking Committee markup by May 21; advancement could be a significant catalyst, while delay may cap upside.
