But here\u2019s what many people missed:<\/p>\n<h2>Western Union already uses Ripple\u2019s tech\u2026 just not directly.<\/h2>\n<p>Western Union recently acquired International Money Express (Intermex), a company that already uses Ripple\u2019s On-Demand Liquidity on the XRP Ledger. So by buying Intermex, Western Union basically gained access to Ripple\u2019s infrastructure and XRP\u2019s rails.<\/p>\n<p>Now, sure, XRP doesn\u2019t have the same massive DeFi and dApp ecosystem that Solana has. Solana dominates there. But Ripple is laser-focused on payments and financial institutions. That specialization gives XRP a unique advantage in the high-stakes world of bank settlement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Millions move money. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f4b8.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcb8\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"><br \/>Trillions move the world. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f30d.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf0d\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"><\/p>\n<p>WesternUnion &amp; Solana handle millions\u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">$XRP<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ripple?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">@Ripple<\/a> are built for trillions.<\/p>\n<p>Different league.

Every dip into that zone was bought up quickly, and now the bounce is finally kicking in. The price pushed through 2.55 and is holding above it, which is the first real sign that the trend might be flipping back up.<\/p>\n<p>The next big stop is the 3.00 zone, where a ton of liquidity sits and where the price dumped from before. RSI near 55 indicates decent strength without being stretched, and the MACD appears poised to flip bullish soon. As long as XRP keeps closing above 2.55, the setup is still pointing toward a move into the 3 dollar area over the next leg up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-meme-coin-icos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/B7Uk6agkqj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways\">\n<h2 class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__title\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list\">\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n         XRP still holds a strong advantage in banking and payments despite Solana\u2019s new Western Union deal.     <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n         Price action stays bullish as long as XRP holds above 2.55, with a clean path toward the 3 dollar target.    <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/how-will-ripple-compete-with-solana-after-the-western-union-deal-xrp-price-prediction\/\">How Will Ripple Compete With Solana After the Western Union Deal?
