slid sharply over the weekend as a broad risk-off move swept through cryptocurrency markets, triggering heavy liquidations and pushing the token to its lowest level since December 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The selloff came alongside steep declines in Bitcoin, Ethereum and even traditional safe havens such as gold and silver, underscoring the depth of the market rout.<\/p>\n<p>The turbulence unfolded even as Ripple, the payments firm closely associated with XRP, secured a key regulatory milestone in Europe after receiving final approval for an Electronic Money Institution license in Luxembourg, strengthening its ability to scale regulated payment services across the European Union.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP slides to multi-month lows amid broad market selloff<\/h2>\n<p>XRP is attempting to stabilise after a sharp weekend selloff that dragged its price down to around $1.5, as bearish pressure swept through cryptocurrency markets.<\/p>\n<p>After failing to sustain gains near $1.8, the token fell to its lowest level since December 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The decline came amid a broader market rout that saw Bitcoin slide below $75,000, and Ethereum drop toward $2,100, pulling most major altcoins lower.<\/p>\n<p>The risk-off move extended beyond crypto.<\/p>\n<p>Gold, which had recently climbed above $5,500 an ounce, fell to about $4,620, marking its steepest single-day decline in more than a decade, while silver also posted heavy losses.<\/p>\n<h2>Over $2.5 billion liquidated<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"1120\">Selling pressure intensified as the US entered a partial government shutdown, while markets showed little reaction to President Donald Trump\u2019s nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"1120\">Warsh is widely viewed as <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/trump-taps-crypto-friendly-kevin-warsh-to-lead-the-federal-reserve\/\">supportive of digital assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1650\">In crypto markets, more than $2.5 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated on Jan. 31.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1650\">According to Coinglass, this ranked as the 10th-largest liquidation event on record, though well below the $19 billion wipeout seen during the October 10, 2025 crash.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1650\">On-chain data showed that more than $10 million in XRP positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with about $7.4 million of those in long positions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1650\">CoinGlass data indicated that more than 4,300 traders were affected, while daily volatility in XRP exceeded 7.5%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1810\">Some market participants blamed Binance for exacerbating the selloff, though the exchange and its former chief executive Changpeng Zhao rejected those claims.<\/p>\n<h2>Technical outlook remains fragile despite modest rebound<\/h2>\n<p>XRP\u2019s market capitalisation has fallen to roughly $97 billion, reflecting a sharp contraction as investors moved away from risk assets.<\/p>\n<p>Daily trading volume declined 16% to around $5.4 billion, signalling weakening liquidity and limited buying interest.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2129\" data-end=\"2412\"><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\"

data-start=\"2129\" data-end=\"2412\">From a technical perspective, the daily chart remains broadly bearish.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2129\" data-end=\"2412\">While the relative strength index suggests a potential rebound from oversold levels, weak momentum could limit upside.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2129\" data-end=\"2412\">The MACD continues to indicate strengthening bearish conditions, with the histogram widening.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2414\" data-end=\"2717\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">As of Monday, February 2, XRP was trading near $1.6, recovering modestly from its weekend lows.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2414\" data-end=\"2717\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">A sustained break below $1.5 could open the way toward the $1.24 support area.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2414\" data-end=\"2717\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">On the upside, a move back above $1.8 may help stabilise sentiment and allow for a potential retest of the $2.00 to $2.30 range.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-KX2tCBZq title-sZAHdKLd embeddedPaneTitleTypography-sZAHdKLd\" data-qa-id=\"news-description-title\">Ripple secures EU EMI license in Luxembourg<\/h2>\n<p>Ripple
