The XRP price slumped in the first quarter even after some notable Ripple news, including the end of the SEC case and its ecosystem growth. Ripple was trading at $2.2 on April 1, down by 35% from its highest level in 2025. There is a risk that the XRP coin will crash soon, even as the Ripple USD (RLUSD) volume to total value locked (TVL) jumped.
Ripple USD (RLUSD) Volume to TVL Has Jumped
One of Ripple’s strategies to grow its ecosystem has been the launch of RLUSD, a regulated stablecoin. Ripple hopes that its regulation and transparency will help to dethrone Tether and USD Coin.
Recent data shows that RLUSD stablecoin is still a small player in the stablecoin industry. It has a market cap of over $243 million, a tiny amount in an industry valued at over $237 billion.
However, a closely watched metric shows that RLUSD is in a good place. It has a volume-to-total value locked (TVL) of 37%. This figure is much higher than that of other stablecoins. For example, USDC has a ratio of 14.26%, while Tether is slightly behind at 34.5%.
RLUSD Stats
A higher ratio means that RLUSD holders use it to handle daily transactions. It also means that a higher liquidity is provided to facilitate trading. A stablecoin with a low ratio means that it is not being used.
RLUSD has become the biggest player in the XRP Ledger network, with the other notable players being Sologenic, Crypto Trading Fund, Coreum, and XRP Army.
XRP price has also lagged despite other bullish catalysts. The SEC has ended its Ripple case, while many companies have applied for a spot XRP ETF. Further, Ripple is working to become the best alternative to SWIFT, a network that handles billions of dollars each day.
XRP Technical Analysis Points to a Potential Crash
While Ripple has some solid fundamentals, there is a risk that it will have a strong downtrend in the coming weeks. There is a risk that the XRP price is about to form a death cross pattern as the spread between the 50-day and 200-day Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) narrows. A death cross is a highly risky pattern in technical analysis.
The other risk is that the Ripple price has formed a head and shoulders pattern, whose neckline is at around $2. This price coincides with the 50% Fibonacci Retracement, which is drawn by connecting the lowest point in 2024 and highest level this year.

XRP Price Targets
Therefore, a drop below this neckline will be a victory for bears, who will trigger panic selling. More downside will push the token downwards, potentially to the $1.5, the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level.
The bearish Ripple price forecast will be canceled if the coin surges above right shoulder point at $3. Such a move will likely trigger a jump to the YTD high of $3.4, followed by the psychological point at $5.
In the crypto market, a new generation of on-chain banking products is currently taking shape. Highlighting this evolution, EVAA Protocol, the first and leading DeFi protocol on TON, is hosting deFINTECH, a legendary side event of TOKEN2049 Dubai, in collaboration with TAC, the Layer 1 TON EVM network extension that connects the TON blockchain with Ethereum apps, allowing Telegram users to access popular EVM applications directly from their TON wallet.
The event is supported by key partners, including sponsor Ston.fi, the leading DEX on the TON blockchain, and media partners BeInCrypto and INCRYPTED, providing official media coverage. The curated gathering will take place on April 30, 2025, from 2 PM to 6 PM at DAOS HUB Dubai, deFINTECH’s official venue partner.
deFINTECH brings together the builders, product leaders, and fintech visionaries who are actively reimagining the future of banking on blockchain rails. The event focuses on envisioning on-chain neo-banking—financial services built natively on-chain and natively integrated into everyday platforms like Telegram. This includes exploring stablecoin payments, Telegram-native wallets, tokenized vaults, and intuitive on-chain yield tools.
Hosted by EVAA Protocol, deFINTECH highlights the platform’s dedication to DeFi accessibility and efficiency. EVAA provides liquidity market solutions and leveraged staking strategies, integrated deeply with Telegram and top-tier TON applications like Tonkeeper, Notcoin, Ston.fi, FIVA, TG Wallet, and DeDust. This creates a frictionless experience for users to borrow, lend, and earn yield on TON.
Why deFINTECH Matters
With Telegram’s crypto ecosystem gaining significant traction and stablecoins becoming a preferred medium for payments and savings, particularly in emerging markets, novel opportunities are arising at the intersection of Web3, embedded finance, and real-world adoption. deFINTECH serves as a dedicated venue for those pioneering this transformation.
The event is designed for founders and product leads building on-chain fintech solutions alongside wallet teams, L1/L2 ecosystem developers, and Web3 banking infrastructure builders. It also brings together investors, early adopters in social finance and DeFi, institutional players exploring on-chain finance, media, and strategic contributors focused on this evolving sector. With 150–190 highly relevant guests expected, the event fosters an atmosphere centered on valuable connections and substantive discussions.
One unique aspect of deFINTECH is that it moves away from traditional conference formats. Instead of stages and panels, the event prioritizes meaningful dialogue, fosters early-stage collaboration, and encourages product-first conversations. The goal is to create an atmosphere where genuine connections are made and practical solutions for the future of on-chain finance are discussed. deFINTECH offers a focused environment for meaningful connections and strategic dialogue during the busy TOKEN2049 week. Attendance at the event is by invitation only.
What To Expect
Attendees can anticipate an afternoon centered around direct interaction and collaboration. The format includes focused roundtable discussions exploring the future of neo-banking and DeFi user experience. There will also be opportunities for live demos and product showcases presented in a casual, off-stage setting.
Attendees can also expect to participate in open networking with other participants, ensuring valuable interactions without superfluous presentations. deFINTECH cultivates a culture of co-creation, inviting attendees to actively take part in shaping the conversation rather than passively consuming content. The agenda features focused discussions, including insights from venture capital, partner spotlights, and collaborative talks, all interwoven with ample networking time.
The Venue: DAOS HUB Dubai
deFINTECH will be hosted at DAOS HUB Dubai, serving as the event’s official venue partner. Located in the heart of Dubai, DAOS HUB is a purpose-built ecosystem that provides a space where Web3 builders, contributors, and innovators can collaborate and grow. Its mission is to create an ideal environment for Web3 startups to thrive through network-native connections and curated access, making it a fitting backdrop for the event’s forward-looking conversations. The event runs from 2 PM to 6 PM on April 30, 2025.
“Web3 doesn’t need another conference. It needs a product room,” said Vlad Kamyshov, CEO of EVAA Protocol.“At deFINTECH, we stop pitching dreams and start building real tools — right inside Telegram, where our users already are. We believe stablecoin payments, Telegram-native wallets, and on-chain yield tools can reimagine banking—making it open, permissionless, and composable. This isn’t just a trend — it’s a movement. Our goal is to bring together the builders and visionaries shaping the next financial layer.”
For those actively working on Telegram-based payment rails, secure yield vaults for stablecoins, or compliance-friendly DeFi applications, deFINTECH offers a unique space to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the next wave of financial innovation.
In this ongoing market crash, XRP, Ripple Labs’ native token, is poised for a massive price decline despite its recent price recovery. Today, April 7, 2025, the overall crypto market has witnessed a significant downward rally, but it now appears to be recovering. However, some see this as a potential pullback before an upcoming price crash.
XRP Technical Analysis and Upcoming Level
According to expert technical analysis, XRP appears to be continuing its downward momentum. The daily chart reveals that XRP is currently retesting its recent breakdown of the key support level at $1.95.

In addition to the support breakdown, XRP has also breached the neckline of a bearish head and shoulders price action pattern and has closed a daily candle below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This is the first time XRP has fallen below its 200 EMA, which now shifts it into a strongly bearish asset.
Based on the recent price action and historical momentum, the candle closing below the key level has opened the path for a massive price crash, as the next support is not nearby.

According to CoinPedia’s price analysis, if XRP fails to reclaim the $1.95 level, there is a strong possibility it could drop by 39% to reach the next support at the $1.20 level in the future.
Current Price Momentum
At press time, XRP is trading near $1.88 and has recorded a price decline of over 6.50% in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, amid the price drop, the asset also hit a low of $1.64. This significant downside move and increased price volatility have attracted notable interest from traders and investors, resulting in a 420% surge in trading volume.
$35.40 Million Worth of Bullish Bet
However, looking at the ongoing price recovery, trader sentiment seems to be shifting as they are strongly betting on the bullish side, according to the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass.
Data reveals that traders are currently over-leveraged at $1.833 on the lower side (support) and have built $35.40 million worth of long positions. On the other hand, $1.932 is another over-leveraged level on the upper side (resistance), where traders have built $11.80 million worth of short positions.

The on-chain data indicates that the bulls are back, as the price appears to be retesting its breakdown level.
