XRP News - May 4, 2026

📈 XRP (XRP)
Current Price: ~$1.41 (+1.4% in 24h)
Top News: XRP is holding steady above the $1.40 mark as the new trading week begins, supported by explosive growth in on-chain real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Data confirms the XRP Ledger has just crossed $3 billion in tokenized RWAs, representing a massive 59% jump in a single month. A major driver of this milestone is the success of energy-backed tokens and Ondo Finance's tokenized U.S. Treasuries, alongside Ripple's native RLUSD stablecoin. Adding to the institutional momentum, U.K.-regulated digital securities exchange Archax has formally committed to bringing an additional $1 billion in assets onto the XRPL by mid-2026. Meanwhile, regulatory optimism is finding fresh legs; Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently stated that the stablecoin yield dispute holding up the highly anticipated CLARITY Act in Congress is nearing a resolution, pushing expectations for the bill's passage to the end of May. If passed, the legislation would cement XRP's digital commodity status into permanent federal law, potentially opening the floodgates for further institutional ETF inflows, which already stand at a cumulative $1.28 billion.
