XRP is trading at $1.08 as of July 29, 2026, up 3.00% over the past 24 hours, one of the strongest gainers among majors today even as it remains down 3.82% over the past week, as broader crypto sentiment improves ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision.

XRP Price Today

XRP is leading gains among majors today, extending a bounce that comes alongside broader positive sentiment ahead of the Fed’s decision. While the token remains down for the week after last week’s broader risk-off pressure, today’s move suggests buyers are stepping back in as macro uncertainty resolves later today.

Why Is XRP Up Today?

XRP’s outperformance today reflects a combination of broad risk-on sentiment ahead of the Fed decision and incremental ecosystem progress: Flare’s Smart Accounts update simplified XRP-to-DeFi onboarding to a single signature, adding new wallet integrations and a second yield vault. While not a major catalyst on its own, it adds to a steady drumbeat of infrastructure improvements around XRP Ledger-adjacent DeFi products that support the token’s longer-term utility case.

What This Means for the Days Ahead

Today’s Fed decision is the dominant catalyst for XRP alongside the rest of the market, with a dovish hold likely to extend today’s rally and a surprise hike risking a sharp reversal. On the regulatory side, the CLARITY Act remains shelved behind a Russia sanctions bill, keeping XRP’s path to fuller institutional integration dependent on the fall legislative session rather than any imminent vote.
