XRP Price Target $1.90 as Grayscale Names It the ‘Second Most Talked-About Asset’

XRP price is hanging on by a thread. After sliding nearly 29% in the past month, it is now battling to stay above key support while bears line up targets near $1.45. The chart does not look comfortable.

But here is the strange part.

While price has been bleeding, attention has exploded. A new Grayscale report shows XRP is now the second most talked about crypto asset in the market.

That kind of divergence does not usually last forever.

What Grayscale’s Sentiment Report Signals

The chart looks heavy, but the hype is loud. Grayscale’s research team says advisors keep getting questions about XRP, calling it the second most talked about asset after Bitcoin.

That kind of attention hints at demand building beneath the surface, even if price has not responded yet.

"Advisors are constantly asked by their clients about $XRP, and in some cases, it's the second most talked about asset in this community behind Bitcoin."

Still, hype has limits. The level that matters is $1.60 That is the wall active traders are watching.

Right now, XRP is trying to lead the post crash rotation. But without reclaiming key resistance, talk alone will not turn into a real breakout.

What Happens Next for XRP Price?

Traders should brace for heightened crypto volatility in the coming sessions. If XRP price can establish a base above $1.45 and avoid a weekly close below $1.40, a relief bounce toward $1.90 is plausible.

This aligns with data showing whale wallets accumulating quietly during this dip.

Conversly, a confirmed break below $1.30 invalidates the bullish divergence and exposes the $1.11 zone. Smart money is watching the $1.50 daily close as the first sign of strength, but patience remains the primary edge in this market.
