Ripple's Former CTO Flags Three Main Forces Behind XRP Price in March 2026
On March 15, 2026, former Ripple CTO David Schwartz highlighted RLUSD, real‑world assets and XRP's bridging role as key forces indirectly shaping XRP's valuation, while the token traded at $1.39 after falling from a January peak of $3.84. Token burns, rapid XRPL transaction growth to nearly 3 million daily payments, and roughly $1 billion in US spot XRP ETF assets have not yet translated into decisive price direction amid tight trading ranges.
