Singapore, February 10, 2026, 19:16 (SGT) — Regular trading hours.
XRP climbed roughly 2.5% in the last 24 hours, trading near $1.42 Tuesday. The token’s bounce comes after a tough week that shaved about 11.7% off its value over seven days. XRP fluctuated between $1.38 and $1.46, with 24-hour volume at approximately $2.9 billion, according to CoinGecko data. 1
Crypto tried to catch its breath following wild swings that knocked most major tokens along with other risk assets. Bitcoin was hanging around $70,000; ether traded lower on Monday. XRP dropped as far as $1.41 at one stage, with investors unsure if the selloff was over. “Much of the bear market pullback is already in the rear-view mirror,” said Cantor’s Brett Knoblauch. 2
XRP traders are watching more than just the macro picture right now; liquidity and fees are front and center. Binance has announced it’s launching trading for the XRP/U spot pair from Feb. 10 and will offer zero “maker” fees — that’s the fee charged to those providing liquidity — for eligible users trading both the XRP/U spot and margin pairs. 3
Ripple pushed deeper into its institutional pitch a day earlier, rolling out partnerships to bolster Ripple Custody. The company is teaming up with Securosys and Figment, plus rolling out staking and compliance upgrades, all with regulated clients in mind. “Institutions need cohesive systems,” said Aaron Slettehaugh, Ripple SVP of product, adding the aim is to help customers “go live faster.” 4
Eyes are peeled for headlines that could jolt the token, with Ripple’s “XRP Community Day” coming up on Feb. 11. The company confirmed both CEO Brad Garlinghouse and President Monica Long are set to join, and the agenda features everything from regulated products and ETFs to wrapped XRP and infrastructure priorities for 2026. 5
XRP tends to ride the ups and downs of broader crypto mood—acting almost like a high-beta stand-in—even if Ripple is the one making headlines. The token gets yanked around by bitcoin price swings and shifts in risk appetite in tech and growth names.
There’s a nuts-and-bolts aspect here too: fee promos and fresh trading pairs have a way of drawing volume to specific venues, occasionally juicing short-term swings. Still, once that first rush of positioning passes, these effects often evaporate just as fast.
The risk setup isn’t complicated. Any sharp move in macro data could hit rate forecasts and send crypto—including XRP—moving quickly. XRP, for its part, has a history of snapping back from rallies in a hurry; a drop toward recent lows wouldn’t catch many short-term players off guard. Then there’s the regulatory angle—still a toss-up. And when company events roll around, the “event risk” can swing either way as expectations pile up.
Investors have their eyes on fresh U.S. data in the coming day, data that tends to spark shifts in the dollar and interest rates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics calendar, the Labor Department’s January jobs report lands on Feb. 11 at 8:30 a.m. ET. 6
Inflation lands next. According to the BLS schedule, January’s consumer price index drops Feb. 13 at 8:30 a.m. ET—a number capable of shaking up rate-cut wagers instantly. 7
For XRP, traders are eyeing comments from Ripple execs during Community Day sessions on Feb. 11-12. Attention will also swing to how crypto digests U.S. jobs numbers and the CPI report due later in the week.
