XRP Sinks 8% In A Week: What Is Going On?

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) fell about 8% over the past week as the broader cryptocurrency market lost key technical support levels.

In an X post on June 26, XRP Ledger validator Vet said the ledger is evolving into payment infrastructure for autonomous AI agents.

According to Vet, t54’s x402 facilitator enables agentic payments on the XRP Ledger, allowing AI agents to pay for APIs and digital services using native XRPL settlement.

"Perhaps most users on XRP will be machines and not human?" Vet said, urging the XRP community to closely monitor AI-related developments on the network.

The comments come as Ripple’s latest Impact Report highlights the company’s growing focus beyond cross-border payments toward broader financial infrastructure built around XRP, the XRP Ledger and its RLUSD (CRYPTO: RLUSD) stablecoin.
