XRP: Funding Rate Turns Negative as Price Tests Multi-Month Lows
XRP now trades near $1 .09, down sharply from the $3 .75 area marked at the recent peak visible on the chart. At that peak, funding rates across all exchanges were running elevated — broadly positive and consistent with aggressive long-side positioning into strength. Price and funding were aligned at that stage, which is the environment where positive funding is a symptom of momentum rather than a vulnerability.
The signal emerged as price began rolling over from the $3 .50–$3 .75 zone. Funding rates remained positive through much of the decline, indicating that perpetual market participants were slow to abandon their long bias even as spot price structure deteriorated. That persistence of long-side funding into a weakening price environment was the mismatch — not the funding level in isolation.
That vulnerability has now become fully visible. Funding rates have flipped negative, currently reading around -0.01%, the most sustained negative-funding print visible on this chart going back to the entire period shown. Price has followed, compressing to $1 .09 — a level last seen before the late-2025 rally phase.
Negative funding, by itself, is not a buy signal. But it does indicate that the long-side crowding that persisted through the drawdown has now unwound. Short-side positioning has become the dominant lean in perpetual markets. Historically, sustained negative funding in a weak price structure can precede a short squeeze or mean-reversion bounce — but that outcome requires a catalyst and price confirmation, neither of which is present yet.
The funding regime has reset. Whether price follows is the question the market has not yet answered.

💥 Breaking: Citi, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America and other major US banks to enable Interoperable Tokenized Deposits in 2027 👇
The largest U.S. banks are preparing to launch a shared tokenized deposit network designed to connect traditional banking infrastructure with digital asset markets.
The network will be operated by The Clearing House, the bank-owned operator of the RTP real-time payments network.
Source: WSJ
➡️ Why this matters For years, one of the biggest criticisms of tokenized deposits has been interoperability.
JPMorgan's deposit token works within JPMorgan's network. Citi Token Services works within its own network. Other banks are developing their own tokenized deposit initiatives.
But money becomes far more powerful when it can move seamlessly across institutions.
This initiative appears designed to solve exactly that.
The Clearing House operates RTP, the first real-time payment nertwork in the US with millions of participating bank accounts. Launched in 2017, RTP already processes payments $5-6 billion of payments daily. It solves for instant, 24/7 domestic US payments.
If stablecoin payments has a benchmark, it isn't SWIFT; it is RTP in the US.
The battle between stablecoins and tokenized deposits is often framed as a technology debate. In reality, it is increasingly becoming a distribution battle. Banks already hold the deposits. Now it's time to upgrade them. And this initiative would immediately upgrade millions of US bank accounts.
