XRP's price struggles to hold above $1.40 as Ripple's expansion into Wall Street financing raises questions about token benefits. XRP (XRP) is trading at $1.36. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CryptoNews, with live market data added, as of Mon, 12 Oct 2026 19:30:04 UTC.
Ripple's strategic move into Wall Street financing could reshape its market position, but the disconnect between company success and XRP performance remains a key concern for investors.
- XRP price has stalled near $1.40 after sharp decline from recent highs.
- Ripple's expansion into leveraged ETF financing raises token utility questions.
- XRP faces resistance at $1.40 while finding support at major demand zone.
Ripple's recent expansion into Wall Street financing, specifically in the leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETF) sector, has sparked renewed debate about 
XRP's role and value proposition. According to a Wall Street Journal report cited by CryptoNews, Ripple is increasingly involved in financing activities traditionally dominated by banks and securities firms.
This development comes as XRP's price struggles to maintain momentum above the $1.40 level. After a sharp decline from recent consolidation, the token has found some support at a major demand zone but remains below nearby resistance, as detailed by CryptoPotato's technical analysis.
The discrepancy between Ripple's corporate success and XRP's price performance continues to be a focal point for investors. While Ripple's strategic moves into new financial sectors could enhance its market position, the direct benefits for XRP remain unclear.
On the technical side, XRP's price action shows a corrective structure, with the token extending its correction following the rejection from higher levels. The daily chart indicates that XRP is testing critical support levels while facing resistance at $1.40.
In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap stands at $2.86 trillion, with
