While Ripple (XRP) faces the dual burden of short-term price correction and increasing stop-loss sales, its long-term growth strategies—including business expansion, regulatory approvals, and technological upgrades—are steadily continuing.

Recently, XRP dropped to $1.04, dampening investor sentiment. On-chain analytics firm Glassnode diagnosed that sell-side pressure from losses has expanded to its highest level since 2022. The market sees a high likelihood that U.S. inflation and interest rate variables, along with changes in global risk appetite, will significantly impact XRP prices in the short term. With the U.S. May PCE price index rising 4.1% year-over-year as announced based on Korean time, uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's monetary policy direction has grown once again.

Despite short-term headwinds, Ripple's long-term initiatives are gaining momentum. Ripple launched the stablecoin RLUSD in Japan and is pursuing business expansion in Europe based on MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation). Improvements to the XRPL (XRP Ledger) network performance and the expansion of the stablecoin ecosystem are also ongoing.

Experts project that regardless of short-term price movements, Ripple's global payment business expansion, regulatory compliance, and network advancement will be key variables for the future growth of the XRP ecosystem. Market analyses suggest that since short-term volatility and long-term growth factors coexist, both U.S. monetary policy trends and institutional capital flows should be monitored going forward.
