XRP Recovers From Weekend Massive Decline up 3.20%

The XRP cryptocurrency has recently experienced a noteworthy recovery, having surpassed its weekend low of $0.41 and climbed back above its $0.50 support level. The recovery can be attributed to a recent proposal by Ripple developers regarding the creation of a native lending protocol on the XRP Ledger. This protocol aims to enhance the platform's DeFi capabilities by enabling users to lend and borrow digital assets directly from the XRP Ledger.

The native lending protocol proposed by Ripple developers, Aanchal Malhotre and Vito Tumas, focuses on three specifications: XLS-64d (Pseudo-account to track balances and issue tokens), XLS-65d (Single Asset Tokenized Pool), and XLS-66d (Native XRPLedger Lending Protocol, provide liquidity for assets). Liquidity providers would be able to deposit tokens such as XRP , wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), and wrapped Ethereum (wETH) into a lending pool and earn interest. Pool delegates would manage these pools, attract capital, and provide loans. Borrowers and pool delegates would agree on loan terms off-chain and record them. The protocol would enable fixed-term loans and pre-set terms for interest accrual, thereby bypassing the need for off-chain underwriting, risk management, and a first-loss capital protection scheme in the event of default.

If the proposal is accepted and the lending protocol goes live, it would promote financial inclusion, transparency, and efficiency on Ripple's native blockchain. Additionally, the protocol has the potential to attract developers to build and integrate lending Decentralized Applications (DApps) on the blockchain and address a wide range of use cases. However, developers are yet to announce a timeline for the proposal's implementation.

Based on Technical Outlook, the altcoin has made a comeback above $0.50, having swept the $0.4188 lows for the first time since May. The $0.50 round level represents key support for XRP , as the altcoin has broadly sustained above this threshold since February. In the event of a decline, XRP price could find support at $0.4117 and faces resistance at $0.5310 (the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the altcoin's drop from the April 9 peak of $0.6431).

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recovered from its decline below 30 (the oversold region) and climbed to 34.13 on Monday. However, the RSI continues to signal little momentum.

The Daily Price chart shows an "Inverted Hammerhead" indicating bullish bias.
