Ripple secured an EU EMI license in Luxembourg, boosting its regulatory footing despite XRP volatility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nXRP 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
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
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
XRP slides to multi-month lows amid broad market selloff<\/h2>\n
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
After failing to sustain gains near $1.8, the token fell to its lowest level since December 2025.<\/p>\n
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
The risk-off move extended beyond crypto.<\/p>\n
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
Over $2.5 billion liquidated<\/h2>\n
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
Warsh is widely viewed as supportive of digital assets.<\/p>\n
In crypto markets, more than $2.5 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated on Jan. 31.<\/p>\n
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
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
CoinGlass data indicated that more than 4,300 traders were affected, while daily volatility in XRP exceeded 7.5%.<\/p>\n
Some market participants blamed Binance for exacerbating the selloff, though the exchange and its former chief executive Changpeng Zhao rejected those claims.<\/p>\n
Technical outlook remains fragile despite modest rebound<\/h2>\n
XRP\u2019s market capitalisation has fallen to roughly $97 billion, reflecting a sharp contraction as investors moved away from risk assets.<\/p>\n
Daily trading volume declined 16% to around $5.4 billion, signalling weakening liquidity and limited buying interest.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/XRPUSD_2026-02-02_14-52-51.png\")
<\/p>\n
From a technical perspective, the daily chart remains broadly bearish.<\/p>\n
While the relative strength index suggests a potential rebound from oversold levels, weak momentum could limit upside.<\/p>\n
The MACD continues to indicate strengthening bearish conditions, with the histogram widening.<\/p>\n
As of Monday, February 2, XRP was trading near $1.6, recovering modestly from its weekend lows.<\/p>\n
A sustained break below $1.5 could open the way toward the $1.24 support area.<\/p>\n
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
Ripple secures EU EMI license in Luxembourg<\/h2>\n
Ripple has received final approval from Luxembourg\u2019s financial regulator for a full Electronic Money Institution license, converting a preliminary authorization granted in January.<\/p>\n
The license, issued by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier<\/span><\/span>, enables Ripple<\/span><\/span> to scale its blockchain-based payments and digital asset services across the European Union under a regulated framework.<\/p>\nThe approval builds on Ripple\u2019s recent regulatory gains in the UK, where the Financial Conduct Authority<\/span><\/span> granted the firm an EMI license and crypto asset registration, strengthening its European expansion strategy.<\/p>\n\n
