Why is XRP price today near $2?

Recent reports cite eight straight weeks of ETF inflows, about $1.18 billion since launch, and a 57% drop in exchange-held supply to around 1.6 billion tokens. Together, steady demand and thinner supply supported bids near the $2 area while traders watched the $1.88–$2.00 resistance band.

Does the Ripple escrow release affect price?

It can. Monthly unlocks increase available tokens, but a large portion is often re-locked, which limits net new supply. The impact on price depends on how much remains in circulation, exchange balances at the time, and whether demand from funds or traders offsets the temporary increase.

What price levels should Swiss traders monitor now?

Watch $2.00 for a confirmed breakout, then $2.09 as near resistance. Support sits around $1.88 and the mid-$1.70s. For CHF accounts using local brokers or ETPs, check spreads around these levels and set alerts for overnight moves when liquidity may thin.

How can investors in Switzerland get exposure to XRP?

Options include CHF accounts with brokers that support crypto pairs, global crypto exchanges with deep books, and crypto ETPs on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Compare total costs, including FX conversion, spreads, and custody. Use limit orders and risk controls when trading around key levels.
