Ripple’s Mastercard Deal and Crashing Fees Tell Opposite Stories for XRP

Ripple's XRP Ledger sees conflicting signals: Mastercard partnership for AI payments, but transaction fees crash 91.5% and XRP price nears 52-week low amid retail capitulation.

➤ Ripple's XRP Ledger shows mixed signals with a new Mastercard partnership for AI payments contrasted by a 91.5% drop in transaction fees and XRP price nearing a 52-week low. ➤ Despite institutional progress like the Mastercard deal and tokenized treasury settlements, retail usage appears to be in a capitulation phase, indicated by crashing fees and most coins trading below purchase price. ➤ Institutional interest, seen in XRP-linked ETP inflows and new CME futures, offers a potential counterweight, but the key question remains whether this can prevent a price break below critical support levels.
