Ripple Middle East and Africa Regional Managing Director Reece Merrick pointed out that an increasing number of institutions are showing strong interest in XRP, considering it a practical and institution-friendly digital asset capable of connecting real-world finance, stablecoin settlement, cross-border payments, and institutional financial operations. He attributes this growth momentum to XRP's practicality and the emergence of XRP ETFs, which allow institutions to invest without directly custodying cryptocurrencies. Despite XRP's price dropping 2.13% to $2.28 and trading volume decreasing 21.98% to $6.06 billion, its long-term application prospects remain robust. It is expected that by December 2025, XRP will see inflows of $446 million, with investment product inflows increasing by 508% to $3.7 billion, mainly from the United States and Germany.
