"Institutional interest is climbing across Southeast Asia, where on-chain activity jumped roughly 70% year-over-year. Ripple's clearer regulatory backing plus expanding payment utility could create the conditions for XRP's next rally. Analysts see Ripple's Singapore base as a launchpad that could drive XRP toward $4 by Q2 2026. Ripple Secures Expanded Singapore License on December 1 MAS expanded Ripple's Major Payment Institution (MPI) license on December 1, 2025, allowing Ripple Markets APAC Pte. Ltd. to offer a broader range of regulated digital payment services."
"MAS's approval removes regulatory barriers and creates a stable foundation for XRP growth. "MAS has set a leading standard for regulatory clarity in digital assets," Long said. Firms can now integrate XRP into payment flows with clear guidance. XRP moved out of the regulatory gray area in Singapore, making institutional players more comfortable holding and transacting in the token. That increased comfort drives buying pressure over time, attracting the investor and corporate interest needed to push XRP's price toward $4 by mid-2026."
Institutional interest across Southeast Asia has climbed, with on-chain activity up roughly 70% year-over-year. MAS expanded Ripple's Major Payment Institution license on December 1, 2025, allowing Ripple Markets APAC Pte. Ltd. to offer a broader range of regulated digital payment services and to provide end-to-end cross-border payments using XRP and the RLUSD stablecoin. Ripple can invest more in Singapore and build payments infrastructure. Regulatory clarity from MAS reduces barriers, enabling firms to integrate XRP into payment flows and boosting institutional comfort holding and transacting the token. Increased institutional adoption and payment utility could create buying pressure that drives XRP toward $4 by mid-2026.
