Ripple Teams With Aviva to Tokenize Funds, While XRP Stumbles Near $1. 30

Ripple has signed a deal with Aviva Investors, the investment arm of the UK insurer, to bring traditional funds onto its XRP Ledger. This marks Ripple’s first partnership with a European asset manager and could open the door for more institutional use of its blockchain. The ledger can issue tokenized funds quickly, cheaply and with built‑in compliance tools, making it attractive for regulated markets. Aviva’s chief distribution officer said tokenization cuts costs and speeds up processes. The project will roll out through 2026 and beyond, aiming to bring more tokenized assets onto the network. Ripple’s VP of Trading highlighted that the platform now supports large‑scale production, not just experiments.Meanwhile, XRP’s price is hovering above the critical $1. 30 level. Technical charts show a bearish trendline from its $3. 60 peak still cutting off rallies. The token recently broke through a horizontal support zone around $1. 90‑$2, falling below $1. 40 and even touching the $1. 20‑$1. 30 area before a small rebound. If XRP falls below $1. 30, it would face psychological pressure at the $1 mark and lack strong support. The Money Flow Index indicates heavy selling, approaching oversold territory. A bounce back to $1. 50‑$1. 60 is needed before it can aim for the $1. 74 Supertrend level, and only a recovery above $1. 90‑$2 would signal that the worst is over. In short, Ripple’s new partnership could boost institutional confidence in its ledger, but XRP investors must watch the price closely as it battles for stability near $1. 30.
