XRP is presently trading at $0.834, up 1.60% in the last 24 hours and 6.02% in the past week. The recent spike in XRP utility among whales follows after Multichain announced XRPL integration.
Multichain announced it is supporting XRP Ledger (XRPL) for cross-chain connection with EVM and non-EVM compliant blockchains. Hundreds of thousands of DeFi users will be able to seamlessly move assets between XRP Ledger and other blockchains thanks to integration with XRP Ledger.
With Ripple's technical assistance, Multichain will facilitate the cross-chain transfer of XRP, the native digital asset of XRP Ledger. Furthermore, ETH, MATIC, AVAX, FTM, USDT, USDC, FRAX and other assets will be directly transferred to XRP Ledger.

In the past year, Ripple made strides in the availability of its ODL service. Within the stated time, the company launched its first-in-market ODL corridor in Japan, in partnership with SBI Remit, and acquired a 40% stake in Tranglo in Malaysia to expand the availability of its ODL service.

XRP price action
The XRP price looks ready for the next move as it consolidates around the $0.83 level. The appearance of a double doji on its daily chart might suggest a major price reversal. The doji is a transitional candlestick formation, signifying equality or indecision between bulls and bears.
A decisive move above $0.91 will confirm a resurgence of buyers and propel XRP to $1. On the contrary, significant support lies near $0.77 if the bulls rescind.
In recent updates to the Ripple case, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a new motion, asking the court's permission to redact some of the notes from its meetings with third parties. The plaintiff argues that the notes are protected by deliberative process privilege (DPP), a common-law principle that shields internal agency information.
