December 5th saw some interesting moves for XRP. The price had a slight pullback of 1.3%, holding steady at $2.13. Trading volume reached $4.76 billion, which was down 8% from the previous day, but on-chain numbers were buzzing with activity.

The hottest news of the day was the official listing of Real Token on the exchange. This project aims to bring the $650 trillion real estate market onto the XRP ledger through tokenization—a truly ambitious move. The CEO of Global Wealth boldly stated that once supply runs out, XRP’s price will soar to unimaginable levels. The XRPL Velocity indicator spiked to a yearly high of 0.0324, with over 2.23 billion XRP processed in payments in a single day. Whale activity was evident: large transfers of 59.6 million XRP (worth $127 million) were seen, while the XRP balance on exchanges dropped to a seven-year low of 270 million—clearly, serious accumulation is underway.

The Ripple ecosystem is also staying busy. GTreasury, a 40-year veteran in treasury management, announced its entry, bringing real-time settlement and institutional-grade infrastructure. The US CFTC approved the first batch of regulated spot crypto trading platforms, which is a positive signal for XRP’s regulatory path. In Singapore, the MPI license was upgraded, targeting end-to-end cross-border payment services. Capital inflow remains strong: ETFs have attracted $756 million in total, and Matt Hougan, CIO of a leading platform, made it clear—regulatory clouds have lifted, and an XRP ETF is an excellent entry route for institutions.

Social media is buzzing, with over 150,000 mentions on X and a positive sentiment score of 4.5. Some KOLs predict year-end prices could reach the $2.85–$5 range, and AI models are also bullish, signaling a possible surge to $5.

On the technical side, the RSI indicator sits at a neutral 46. The immediate hurdle is the $2.28 resistance; a breakout could see a run toward $2.75. If the $2 support fails, be prepared for a drop to $1.80. Overall, Real Token has shaken up the market like a catfish, helping XRP recover from that 18% drop in November and ushering in a new institution-driven phase. Short-term positioning pressure remains, but the signals from on-chain data are looking strong.
