Despite XRP experiencing a drop of over 45% in early February 2026, this deep correction has not diminished its appeal at the institutional level. On the contrary, the market lows are becoming a window for heavyweight funds to reposition. As a cryptocurrency known for cross-border payments and enterprise-level settlement, XRP is gradually shifting from a “high-volatility altcoin” to a “practical digital asset.”
Data shows that by early February, eight major companies had committed a total of $2 billion to XRP reserves. Evernorth Holdings leads with $1 billion, Trident Digital Tech and Webus International each invested $500 million and $300 million respectively, followed by VivoPower International, Wellgistics Health, Nature’s Miracle Holding, Gumi Inc., and Hyperscale Data. The continuous inflow of corporate funds indicates that XRP is being viewed as a long-term strategic asset rather than just a short-term speculative tool.
On-chain data also signals positive developments. CryptoQuant pointed out that when XRP’s price fell back to around $1.2, whales quickly entered the market, dominating major buy orders, while retail trading volume significantly declined. Meanwhile, Glassnode observed a 51.5% surge in new addresses within 48 hours, indicating increased network adoption.
In terms of trading activity, XRP remains highly active. Since dropping to $1.2 on February 5, its daily trading volume has consistently stayed above $9 billion, and between February 6 and 7, it briefly expanded to $15 billion, suggesting that funds are not leaving but are being re-priced.
Against the backdrop of rising enterprise adoption, whale accumulation, and network activity, the market is beginning to reassess XRP’s long-term value. If this structural demand continues to be released, XRP may have the opportunity to break through the $2 mark and challenge its all-time highs anew.
