XRP opened July 8 at $1.1116 and returned to roughly $1.11 by July 15, leaving the period broadly flat. The token traded between approximately $1.06 and $1.12, with the weekly low reached during the July 13 to 14 sell-off before a sharp recovery.
At the start of the period, the $1 support level was under pressure, with XRP trading below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages. By July 14, attention had shifted to the July 17 CLARITY Act hearing, while resistance remained concentrated around $1.10 to $1.12.
CoinMarketCap showed XRP down 0.85% over seven days, with a market capitalization of about $69.4 billion, 24-hour trading volume of $1.3 billion, and circulating supply of 62.46 billion XRP.
The XRP Ledger Foundation said on July 8 that XRPL had processed more than 1 million agentic payments through x402 and launched the XRPL AI Hub for developers, merchants, and autonomous agents.
Six days later, Ripple joined the newly operational x402 Foundation as a Premier Member. The Linux Foundation launched the organization with 40 members, including AWS, Google, Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, Coinbase, Circle, and Ripple. Ripple said existing x402 support on XRPL allows agents to transact with XRP and RLUSD when purchasing APIs, compute, and other digital services.
Membership gives Ripple a role in the protocol’s technical and governance work, while x402 remains an open standard supporting multiple networks and payment types.
US spot XRP ETFs recorded $7.18 million in net outflows during the week ending July 10, reversing three consecutive weeks of positive flows.

As of July 13, weekly net flows stood at zero, with cumulative net inflows of approximately $1.48 billion and total net assets of $961.29 million.

Ripple launched the first Brazilian edition of its University Digital Asset Xcelerator with Fundação Getulio Vargas on July 13. The nine participating startups developed XRPL applications spanning institutional RLUSD infrastructure, tokenized receivables and bonds, and cross-border settlement. Levery’s sandbox combined RLUSD, XRPL liquidity, permissioned pools, institutional wallets, and tokenized assets, generating more than 44,000 onchain transactions with participation from eight institutions. BillPay validated collection and settlement infrastructure for a Brazil-Paraguay payments corridor.
Ripple also highlighted the UK Wholesale Digital Markets Champion’s July 13 roadmap, which created nine action groups covering regulation, taxation, interoperability, collateral, settlement, and institutional adoption. An accompanying analysis estimated that wholesale tokenization could contribute up to £33 billion in annual UK economic output by 2035.
Ripple’s Luxembourg CASP authorization also remained part of the institutional narrative. Granted on July 6, the authorization completed Ripple’s MiCA licensing requirements and allowed its regulated crypto payments service to operate across the European Economic Area.
