With XRP now trading around $1.47, traders are watching whether it can quickly reclaim $1.50 and hold it before moving back toward $1.60.<\/p>\n<p>If $1.60 is reclaimed and held, this could build momentum toward the psychologically significant $2 level. Neither level is a guarantee, and both should be read as watchpoints rather than forecasts. The path there likely depends on whether the reported ETF demand from firms like Bitwise persists beyond a single strong session.<\/p>\n<p>It also depends on whether Santiment\u2019s large-transaction and new-wallet counts stay elevated, and whether XRP can avoid another sharp pullback like the one that followed the CLARITY Act vote last week.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has proven it can touch $100Bn again. Whether it can stay there is a different question entirely, and one that this week\u2019s profit-taking already answered in the near term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-solana-meme-coins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Top Solana Meme Coins to Buy in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">99Bitcoins on X<\/a>\u00a0For the Latest Market Updates and\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@99Bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Subscribe on YouTube<\/a>\u00a0For Daily Expert Market Analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/xrp-ripple-market-cap-pullback\/\">Sellers Send Ripple XRP Below $100Bn Marketcap After Brief Milestone<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP Ripple briefly pushed its market capitalization back above $100Bn on Tuesday, September 22, before profit-taking dragged the token below that threshold later in the session.
