$XRP is facing strong selling pressure, but I'm not ignoring this level.
The $1.05–$1.10 zone is important to watch. Buyers need to step in and show real strength before we can expect a recovery.
My Trading View:
🟢 Bullish: A strong reclaim above $1.10 could open the way toward $1.15.
🔴 Bearish: Losing $1.00 could bring further downside toward $0.986.
My Strategy: I'm waiting for volume confirmation instead of rushing into a trade. Protecting capital comes first.
What do you think? Is XRP preparing for a recovery, or is another drop coming?

Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz has pushed back against the idea that XRP’s role in paying #XRP Ledger transaction fees should be expected to materially drive its price, as frustrated holders continue questioning how network growth ultimately creates value for XRP.
The latest exchange followed calls for Ripple to create a stronger XRP use case comparable to the role BNB plays across Binance’s ecosystem.
XRP holder VanceGG argued that Ripple could find a heavier use case for XRP within its ecosystem, adding that relying mainly on XRP’s role in transaction fees appears insufficient for establishing significant token value.
Schwartz disagreed with the premise that gas demand was ever expected to be a major XRP price catalyst.
“I don’t think anyone knowledgeable has suggested that XRP’s use as gas would be a significant driver of the price of XRP,” Schwartz said.
His response redirects the debate toward a broader question: if transaction fees are not expected to drive XRP substantially higher, what is?
Schwartz Points to XRP’s Privileged Position on XRPL
Schwartz answered that question by resurfacing a three-part explanation he originally published in November 2025.
His first argument is that increasing adoption of the XRP Ledger can add value to XRP because XRP occupies a unique position within the network.
Unlike issued XRPL assets, XRP has no counterparty, is not tied to a particular jurisdiction and is favored by XRPL’s autobridging mechanism, which can use XRP as an intermediary asset to improve liquidity between otherwise disconnected trading pairs.
This is not a new position. The Crypto Basic previously detailed Schwartz’s argument that XRP has important functions on XRPL beyond acting as a gas token.
He has also argued that greater XRP Ledger adoption should ultimately increase XRP’s value, although the relationship is not necessarily immediate or proportional.
Short-Term XRP Price May Not Depend on Utility
Schwartz’s second point is more significant for holders focused on price.
He said he is not convinced utility is especially important to short- or medium-term price performance, beyond ensuring that XRP operates on a stable network and remains scarce, fungible, censorship-resistant and easy to transfer.
That position separates two ideas often treated as interchangeable within the XRP community: increasing utility and increasing token price.
XRPL activity can expand without producing an equal increase in XRP demand. Conversely, XRP can experience substantial speculative price moves without a comparable increase in underlying network usage.
That distinction has become particularly relevant with XRP currently trading around $1.09, down more than 20% over the past month.
XRPL Was Never Designed to Make XRP Price Rise
Schwartz’s third point is the most direct.
“XRPL was not designed as a way to make XRP’s price go up,” he said in the earlier post.
Instead, the XRP Ledger was designed to provide a fast and inexpensive native asset, decentralized exchange and payment infrastructure.
The Crypto Basic covered those remarks when Schwartz first stressed that XRPL was not created to make XRP’s price appreciate.
That does not mean Schwartz sees no connection between XRPL success and XRP value. His argument is that the value would emerge from XRP’s structural advantages and broader network adoption—not merely from users burning tiny amounts of XRP to pay transaction fees.
Holder Frustration Is Shifting Toward XRP Value Capture
VanceGG’s criticism comes directly after another holder called on Schwartz and Brad Garlinghouse to explain Ripple’s “real plan” for XRP.
Schwartz responded that Ripple has no secret XRP plan it has yet to reveal.
The latest discussion therefore moves the debate one step further.
The question is no longer simply whether Ripple has communicated its plans. It is whether growing activity across XRPL, payments, stablecoins, tokenization and institutional finance will create enough direct or indirect demand for XRP to materially affect its value.
Schwartz’s answer remains consistent: transaction fees alone are unlikely to accomplish that. The larger case rests on XRP retaining a privileged liquidity role as XRPL adoption expands.

XRP has been under serious selling pressure.
First, $1.18 broke. Many traders started losing confidence.
Then $1.15 failed, and the price dropped as low as $1.08. Now XRP is hovering around $1.09.
While many traders are panic selling, I'm staying patient and watching the market closely.
📉 Here Is What I'm Watching:
In my analysis, the next major support zone is around $0.9862.
I don't see a particularly strong support level between the current price and that zone.
My expectation is that XRP could move below $0.9862, trigger stop-loss orders, shake out weak hands, and potentially reverse afterward.
That's why I'm not planning to enter too early.
📊 What About RSI?
The RSI (6) is currently around 29, suggesting oversold conditions.
However, being oversold doesn't automatically mean the bottom is in. Selling pressure and market fear could continue.
🎯 My Strategy:
No emotional buying.
No panic selling.
Watching the $0.9862 level closely.
Waiting for confirmation before considering an entry.
Sometimes patience is more valuable than trying to catch every dip.
Remember, the market doesn't reward impatience every time.
🔥 What's your plan for XRP?
Are you selling because of the fear, buying the dip, or waiting for a possible liquidity sweep before entering?

Scammers generated approximately 11.5 million X posts targeting the #XRP community with fake rewards and airdrop promises over the past 30 days, according to an analysis of X API data by XRP Ledger validator Vet.
Vet, who contributes to the XRP Ledger Foundation and operates a validator included on the XRPL Foundation’s default Unique Node List, disclosed the finding after analyzing activity on X. His validator remains listed among the network’s trusted validators.
“Doing some X analytics with their API,” Vet said. “In the last 30 days about 11.5 million (!!) posts were made targeting specifically the XRP community to scam them with reward and airdrop promises.”
If spread evenly across 30 days, that figure would equal roughly 383,000 posts per day, nearly 16,000 per hour, or about 266 every minute, based on our calculation.
XRP Reward and Airdrop Scams Continue to Flood Social Media
The finding adds scale to a problem XRP holders have been confronting throughout 2026.
Fake airdrop campaigns typically promise free XRP, rewards or token allocations and then direct users toward phishing websites or malicious wallet requests.
Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz warned in May about a “huge escalation” in fake XRP airdrop and giveaway scams, urging users to treat unsolicited reward offers with extreme caution.
Xaman founder Wietse Wind has also warned of fake wallet applications and nonexistent XRP airdrops, while scammers have increasingly relied on cloned accounts, malicious domains and impersonation.
Some attacks have led directly to losses. In June, an XRP holder lost 14,646 XRP in a fake reward-related payment request after approving a transaction disguised as a verification message.
Verified Accounts Can Also Be Compromised
The threat is not limited to newly created spam profiles.
In October, Ireland’s national police X account was compromised and repurposed to promote a fraudulent XRP/Xaman airdrop. The verified account had nearly 300,000 followers, giving the fake promotion substantially greater reach and apparent legitimacy.
Vet noted the same issue in his follow-up discussion, saying large accounts can be sold or compromised and then used by scammers to expand their reach.
This makes follower count or verification status alone insufficient for establishing whether an XRP reward offer is legitimate.
Vet Says the Problem Extends Beyond XRP
Although the 11.5 million-post estimate specifically examined XRP-targeted scams, Vet cautioned against interpreting the activity as something unique to the XRP ecosystem.
In a follow-up response, he said similar scam comments appear around Ethereum and Solana discussions as well, describing the problem as one affecting the broader crypto industry.
That distinction is important because the latest data does not establish that XRP is targeted more frequently than every competing crypto community.
It does, however, illustrate the enormous volume of fraudulent content surrounding a large and highly active holder base.
The Crypto Basic has also recently covered questions around bot-like activity and repetitive FUD targeting XRP discussions, although negative commentary and financial scams represent separate issues.
Vet did not publish the underlying X API query parameters or full dataset alongside the 11.5 million figure, so the total remains his reported analysis rather than an independently reproducible X platform statistic.
For XRP holders, the practical warning remains unchanged: legitimate projects do not require users to send XRP first to receive more XRP, disclose private keys, or approve unexplained wallet transactions to claim an airdrop.

XRP is facing an important test near the $1.10 zone. After recent selling pressure, traders are watching whether buyers can defend key support.
📊 Key Levels to Watch
Support: $1.08 – $0.986
Resistance: $1.125 – $1.18
🎯 My Trading Setup
LONG: Above $1.125 after breakout confirmation. Target: $1.18 – $1.26 SL: $1.08
SHORT: Below $1.08 after breakdown confirmation. Target: $1.05 – $1.014 SL: $1.126
I'm not chasing the market. I prefer waiting for volume confirmation before making a move.
What do you think? Will XRP recover from here, or could sellers push it lower?
