XRP is climbing towards $1.38 following the integration of the token into Rakuten's payment app, which serves 44 million users across 5 million merchants in Japan. This integration allows users to spend and earn XRP through loyalty points, marking a significant step in real-world adoption for the cryptocurrency. The recent price action shows XRP breaking out of a resistance zone between $1.325 and $1.33, supported by strong trading volume and whale accumulation. Traders are currently monitoring $1.37 as a crucial pivot point, with a breakout above $1.40 to $1.42 indicating stronger upside momentum. However, XRP remains within a broader downtrend, necessitating confirmation of a bullish reversal.
