that could formally include XRP in a state-managed digital assets fund.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal seeks to create a strategic reserve for digital currencies obtained through seizures or confiscations.<\/p>\n<p>XRP, alongside Bitcoin (BTC), is explicitly listed as an eligible asset.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\"

Fund bill (SB1649) just CLEARED the Senate Finance Committee in a 4\u20132 vote \u2014 and it explicitly includes <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a> in the RESERVE. \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>The bill now\u2026 <a

href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/InvestWithD\/status\/2023867789350744333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The bill recently passed a key Senate committee in a 4-2 vote, marking a significant step forward.<\/p>\n<p>If enacted, the fund would be managed by the state treasurer with strict custodial oversight.<\/p>\n<p>This move would make Arizona one of the first US states to formally reference XRP in a government financial framework.<\/p>\n<p>For XRP holders, this development is largely symbolic.<\/p>\n<p>The state would not be directly purchasing XRP with taxpayer money, but inclusion in the reserve adds credibility.<\/p>\n<p>It reinforces XRP\u2019s reputation as a functional and settlement-oriented digital asset rather than just a speculative token.<\/p>\n<h2>Market activity signals caution<\/h2>\n<p>XRP\u2019s short-term price action has been mixed.<\/p>\n<p>The coin is supported around $1.40 to $1.44, creating a key floor that traders are watching closely.<\/p>\n<p>Exchange outflows suggest accumulation by larger holders, while smaller whales have added to their balances, hinting at potential upward pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Technical indicators show both bullish and bearish signals.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum oscillators suggest limited buying activity in the short term, but longer-term smart money metrics point to possible gains.<\/p>\n<p>Patterns on the charts indicate that a break below $1.42 could trigger a short-term pullback toward $1.12.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, if support holds, traders could see upside targets near $1.91 and $2.13.<\/p>\n<p>XRP has been rangebound for the past month, but the combination of policy developments and structural market accumulation could push it higher.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP price prediction<\/h2>\n<p>Policy developments in Arizona, combined with accumulation patterns and technical support, may give XRP the momentum it needs to challenge its next resistance levels.<\/p>\n<p>Traders should watch the $1.40\u2013$1.44 support zone closely.<\/p>\n<p>A strong hold here could set the stage for a breakout.<\/p>\n<p>The resistance levels to monitor are $1.50 and $1.54 in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, the next targets are $1.67 and $1.91.<\/p>\n<p>These levels align with smart money accumulation and historical trading ranges.<\/p>\n<p>A sustained move above $2.00 could signal a return of broader bullish sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, XRP\u2019s price is poised in a delicate balance.<\/p>\n<p>Short-term caution is warranted, but medium-term prospects look promising.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4
