XRP price today is hovering around $1.87 on December 25, 2025, with XRP showing a modest 24-hour uptick while staying stuck inside a tight trading band that has defined much of late December. Across major trackers, XRP is quoted in the $1.87–$1.88 area, reflecting small differences between feeds and venues. [1]
According to CoinMarketCap’s live data, XRP is trading at $1.87, with 24-hour volume around $1.54 billion, a market cap near $113.4 billion, and a circulating supply of ~60.57 billion XRP (max supply 100 billion). CoinMarketCap also shows a 24-hour range of roughly $1.85–$1.88, underscoring how compressed today’s action has been. [2]
That sideways price is colliding with a very different story in the headlines: institutional accumulation via spot XRP ETFs keeps climbing—yet spot price momentum remains muted. [3]
XRP price today: where it stands right now
Here’s the snapshot investors are watching on Dec. 25:
- Price: about $1.87 [4]
- 24-hour range: about $1.85 to $1.88 [5]
- 24-hour volume: about $1.54B (CoinMarketCap) [6]
- Market cap: about $113.4B [7]
- Rank:#5 on CoinMarketCap [8]
If you’re wondering why XRP feels like it’s moving in slow motion today, the data backs up that vibe: price has been boxed into a narrow channel, with repeated tests of support and resistance levels that traders are now treating like guardrails.
What’s driving XRP on Dec. 25, 2025: today’s key headlines
1) XRP ETF assets top $1.25B, but spot price stays range-bound
One of the biggest stories on December 25 is the continued growth of XRP exchange-traded funds, with multiple reports pegging total net assets around $1.25 billion even as XRP’s spot price chops sideways. [9]
A Mitrade analysis published today describes a market that’s effectively doing two different things at once:
- ETF channel: steady accumulation, with total net assets surpassing $1.25B [10]
- Spot market: XRP trading roughly $1.85–$1.91, with selling pressure near the $1.90 area and support around $1.86 [11]
In other words: institutions may be stacking exposure through regulated wrappers, while short-term traders keep selling rallies into a well-defined ceiling.
ETF flow tape (reported today): A Dec. 25 newsflash citing SoSoValue data says spot XRP ETFs saw $11.93 million in net inflows for Dec. 24 (ET), led by Franklin’s XRPZ (reported $11.14M), with Canary’s XRPC also positive (reported $0.79M). [12]
(Worth noting: the ETF flow figures above are relayed by third-party newsflashes citing SoSoValue, not SoSoValue directly.) [13]
2) Ripple-linked Evernorth drawdown highlights the risk side of “XRP treasury” bets
Another Dec. 25 headline making the rounds: Evernorth Holdings, described as an XRP treasury entity backed by Ripple executives, is reportedly sitting on a paper loss of more than $220 million after XRP’s pullback. [14]
Crypto Briefing reports Evernorth holds roughly 389 million XRP, acquired for about $947 million, and that at a spot price around $1.86 those holdings were valued near $724 million, implying the drawdown. [15]
This matters for sentiment because it puts a spotlight on a trendy narrative from 2025—companies building “digital asset treasuries”—and reminds the market that even large, well-connected holders can be underwater when the trend turns.
Crypto Briefing also notes XRP is down about 16% over the past 30 days, despite reports of continued ETF inflows since the products debuted. [16]
3) Ripple escrow debate resurfaces after CTO comments on supply and selling
On the more “crypto-native drama” side of the news cycle, Ripple CTO David Schwartz is back in the spotlight after posting that before Ripple’s escrow system was implemented, Ripple could have sold as much XRP as it wanted each month—and that escrow actually reduced flexibility rather than enabling unlimited monthly selling. [17]
U.Today points to the history: in 2017, Ripple locked 55 billion XRP into escrows designed to release up to 1 billion XRP per month, framing it as predictability for the market. Schwartz’s point (as reported) is that the escrow is a constraint, not a “dump switch.” [18]
Why this shows up in a “XRP price today” story: XRP’s supply dynamics are a recurring driver of both narrative and positioning—and narratives can move markets even when the hard numbers don’t change.
XRP technical outlook: the levels traders are watching now
With fundamentals and flows pulling in different directions, price is increasingly being treated like a technical problem: Which level breaks first?
Key levels highlighted in today’s market coverage
- Support zone: roughly $1.85–$1.87 [19]
- Near resistance: around $1.90–$1.91 [20]
- Next resistance:$1.95 (often cited as the “line in the sand”) [21]
- Bull trigger levels (per technical commentary): around $1.98, then $2.12, then $2.23 [22]
- Bigger downside level:$1.77 appears repeatedly as a structural support / invalidation zone in technical analysis coverage [23]
FX Leaders describes a descending triangle setup with resistance near $1.95 and support near $1.85, implying a “coiled spring” market where compression can precede a sharper move. [24]
BeInCrypto, leaning on momentum indicators, points to bullish divergence signals and emphasizes that price still needs to clear the $1.98 region to convert “setup” into “move.” [25]
Whale activity: cautious accumulation (not a frenzy)
One more data point getting attention on Christmas Day: whales appear to be adding again—slowly.
BeInCrypto reports that wallet cohorts holding 100M–1B XRP increased holdings (from 8.11B to 8.23B) starting Dec. 22, while the 10M–100M XRP cohort ticked up from 10.88B to 10.9B around Dec. 23. [26]
That’s not “panic buying.” It’s more like cautious repositioning while price sits on support and sentiment tries to decide whether December’s drop is finishing… or just taking a breath.
What to watch next for XRP price
Going into the final week of 2025, XRP’s story is basically a three-way tug-of-war:
- Institutional demand via ETFs keeps printing positive headlines (total net assets around $1.25B) [27]
- Spot price remains stuck in a tight range around $1.85–$1.91, suggesting overhead supply is still being worked through [28]
- Narrative catalysts (treasury drawdowns, escrow debates, whale accumulation signals) are shaping sentiment day-to-day [29]
If XRP can reclaim the upper end of the range and hold above the mid-$1.90s, technical commentary suggests the market will start talking seriously again about a run toward the low-$2s. If support breaks, eyes shift quickly to the high-$1.70s. [30]
