In 2026, Ripple's chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty argues that crypto adoption is progressing quietly while he maintains a positive long-term view on XRP despite the latest pullback. He points to growing on-chain real-world assets, the launch of Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin, and increasing integration of crypto services by traditional financial institutions as key structural forces. XRP has fallen around 15% over the past week to trade near $1.60, a level that previously acted as strong support, as traders also turn attention to presale projects like Bitcoin Hyper on Solana.

XRP is trading below $2 around the $1.75 level, while on-chain data shows that 42 new whale wallets holding at least 1 million XRP have appeared since the start of 2026. This renewed accumulation follows a pattern that previously preceded a strong recovery when price was near similar support levels. If XRP breaks above $1.95 and reclaims the 200-day EMA around $2.20, some market participants may look for a longer-term move toward the $3 area.

On January 28, 2026, WisdomTree said its tokenized funds became available natively on Solana through Prime and Connect, with purchases possible using Solana-based USDC. A 4-hour TradingView chart highlights $120 support and prior resistance near $128, while upside scenarios point to $130 and $145 if momentum improves.

On January 28, 2026, 21Shares published XRP year-end scenarios: $2.69 (bull), $2.45 (base), and $1.60 (bear). According to the article, XRP is up 1.7% year-to-date and trades around $1.87. The daily chart highlights the 200D EMA as resistance near the $2.25 area, with $1.80 support and potential paths toward $3.10 or $1.40.

Grayscale's parent DCG recently sold 18,862 GSOL shares it acquired in September 2024, valued at over $170,000. The move has prompted debate about whether it reflects routine liquidity or growing caution. Meanwhile, SOL climbed 3.2% in the past 24 hours from the $120 area, with $125 now a key level to hold.

On January 27, 2026, trader CW8900 highlighted an early buy signal on XRP's 4‑hour chart, noting a break from a descending channel. Price recently rebounded near $1.90, with resistance at the 200‑day EMA; a breakout could target $2.35 and $3.10, while a loss of $1.90 may expose $1.40.

Solana-linked ETPs recorded notable net inflows of $17.1 million last week, while BTC and ETH products saw outflows of $1.09 billion and $630 million. Total assets in SOL ETPs climbed to $3.37 billion, and SOL rose 1% over the past 24 hours as traders watched key levels around $120 and $125.

Solana retested the $120 support after sharp losses in the Asian session, then quickly rebounded as buyers defended the level. According to the article, trading volume surged 278% to $6.3 billion, equal to 9% of market cap, while SOL ETFs added $10 million last week, lifting assets to $1.1 billion. A break below $120 could increase downside risk toward $97.

After posting negative flows on January 20, XRP-focused exchange-traded funds have returned to net inflows, with $9 million added over the past two days and total ETF assets now at $1.37 billion. XRP has repeatedly defended support around $1.90 and recently broke out of a descending triangle, and if the price can clear the 200-day exponential moving average, bullish targets of $2.50 and $3.10 are being watched.
