Will Arizona XRP Reserve Boost Price?

Ripple (XRP) price hovered at $1.43, down 3% on Thursday after a market consolidation. However, the XRP is eyeing a potential recovery as positive signals emerge. 

The announcement of a strategic reserve by Arizona, where XRP will play a role, may assist in increasing its price and provide further market confidence. Investors are watching closely for any signs of a rebound.

While major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum demonstrate certain strengths, XRP is stable at the top of its recent range.

XRP Among Digital Assets in Arizona’s Proposed Reserve Fund

Arizona’s Senate Finance Committee has passed Senate Bill 1649 (SB1649), which seeks to establish a state-run Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund. 

The bill was passed (4-2) on the 16 th of February, 2026, and it would enable Arizona to deposit seized, confiscated, or voluntarily turned in digital assets such as Bitcoin, XRP, and DigiByte.

According to the bill, the state treasurer of Arizona would manage the fund and could lend out these resources to earn returns. According to the bill, digital assets with a certain fair value score would be included, including stablecoins, NFTs, and other cryptocurrencies.

Introduced by Republican Senator Mark Finchem on February 3, 2026, SB1649 is yet to be approved by the entire Senate, passed in the House, and signed by the governor before it can be a law. 

With its acceptance, the fund would provide a new means of how the state will handle and possibly monetize digital assets and increase its role in the fast-growing cryptocurrency industry.

Ripple Price Prediction: Key Levels To Watch

The latest XRP price traded at $1.4352, showing a slight 0.45% increase over the last 4-hours. 

The RSI indicator is at 44.73, and this indicates that the market is neutral. This implies that bullish or bearish movements are yet to be experienced in the short term.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is slightly decreasing, confirming that the lack of buying momentum is a possibility.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is at -0.08, meaning that the selling pressure is now stronger than the buying pressure. 

Should XRP price be able to cross the level of $1.50, the next resistance would be $1.60, then another level of $1.80.

Conversely, in case the price does not sustain the current movement, it can retest the support at $1.30.

To sum The possible implementation of Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, including XRP, by the Arizona Senate can increase the confidence of the market. Nevertheless, the indicators of neutral movement and selling pressure of XRP at the moment will indicate that the price development will depend on overcoming resistance levels and overcoming market fear.
