XRP has bounced back with a strong two-week move, recovering from a long stretch of losses. The price sits near $2.34 at press time, with a weekly gain of over 25%.

Meanwhile, trading volume is over $8.5 billion, and XRP now has a market cap of $142 billion. It remains the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by value.

Price Recovers from Key Support

The rally began after the token tested support near the $2 level, an area that held firm throughout last year. Buyers stepped in, and the price quickly climbed, undoing seven weeks of losses. It is now testing the $2.34 to $2.4 zone, with short-term momentum still in place.

ChartNerdTA called the move a full recovery, saying it has taken out the “last 7 weeks of downside PA.” The move has also cleared several technical hurdles, putting $2.5 in focus as the next potential test. If broken, traders may look toward $2.75 as the next level.

CryptoWZRD said XRPBTC has been driving the move and sees resistance around $2.27. They added, “A retest of $2.28 with a reversal could offer a long,” while also noting that a failure to hold could lead to range-bound movement.

In addition, traders are now watching the $2.41 level. Steph Is Crypto noted that this area represents a “cost-basis wall,” where about 1.56 billion XRP were previously bought. Moves into such zones often face selling from holders looking to exit at break-even.

John Bollinger shared a cautious view. He said the XRP chart shows a “strong lift” but argued that the pattern remains “weaker” than those of Bitcoin and Ethereum. He pointed to the lack of tight consolidation before the move, which can make price action less stable.

ETF Flows and Supply on Exchanges

Spot XRP ETFs in the US posted over $46 million in inflows on Monday. These products have not seen a single day of outflows since their launch in mid-November. The steady inflows reflect demand from institutional buyers.

At the same time, the exchange supply has been thinning. Fewer tokens available on exchanges may support the price if demand continues. Traders now wait to see if XRP can break and hold above the $2.5 mark or if selling pressure builds near current levels.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
