Ripple is facing a significant risk signal, with its XRP leverage position reaching $320 million in May 2025. This rise has led to market volatility, particularly impacting the XRP/BTC pair, and sparked concerns among traders regarding potential price fluctuations. While Ripple’s leadership, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse and CTO David Schwartz, are actively monitoring market dynamics without making any direct statements, market volatility is raising questions about the long-term impact of this leverage on the future value of XRP. 2025 marks a crucial period in XRP’s journey, as this event highlights potential financial implications arising from Ripple’s ongoing legal battle with the SEC.
