Ripple has secured full Crypto-Asset Service Provider approval in Luxembourg under the EU’s MiCA rules. The license allows the company to provide regulated crypto services across 30 European Economic Area markets. It also gives Ripple a stronger compliance base for payments, banks, enterprises, and financial institutions. Still, XRP price remains under pressure as traders watch nearby support levels.
Ripple said Luxembourg’s financial regulator upgraded its preliminary CASP approval to a full operating license. The authorization allows the company to provide crypto asset services across the European Economic Area under MiCA rules. This gives Ripple a regulated path to serve institutions across 30 markets.
The approval also gives Ripple passporting rights within the European bloc. That means the company can expand across the region without seeking separate approval in each country. The license strengthens Ripple’s European operating position during the new MiCA compliance phase.
Ripple’s UK and Europe managing director, Cassie Craddock, described the approval as a compliance milestone. She said institutions across Europe are looking for regulated partners in digital assets. Her comments show Ripple is positioning its services toward banks, businesses, and payment providers.
The license follows Ripple’s earlier Electronic Money Institution approval in Luxembourg. That approval supports regulated payment services across parts of Europe. Together, the two permissions support Ripple’s work in crypto services and payment infrastructure.
The MiCA framework is now active across the European Union. Crypto firms operating in the region must meet licensing standards or stop regulated services. Ripple’s approval places the company among a smaller group of firms cleared under the new framework.
The timing gives Ripple a clearer position as the European market adjusts to MiCA. Several crypto firms are still working through licensing requirements. Ripple’s full approval may help the company maintain service continuity for institutional clients.
The company said its wider global regulatory base now includes more than 75 licenses and registrations. These approvals support Ripple’s cross-border payments and digital asset infrastructure business. The Luxembourg license adds another regulated market channel for its European plans.
XRP price traded lower on Monday after failing to hold momentum above $1.20. The token moved closer to short-term support near $1.10. The decline came during a wider risk-off session across the crypto market.
Derivatives data showed cooling retail activity around XRP. Perpetual open interest fell to 2.12 billion XRP from 2.14 billion XRP a day earlier. It also declined from 2.38 billion XRP recorded on June 23.

Lower open interest suggests traders are reducing exposure during the current pullback. This can limit recovery attempts if fresh demand does not return. A weaker derivatives market also shows caution among short-term participants.
However, XRP-related investment products continued to record inflows. Spot products attracted nearly $12 million last week. That marked nine straight weeks of inflows, showing institutional interest has not fully faded. Cumulative inflows stood near $1.49 billion, while net assets averaged around $988 million.
XRP price remains inside a wider downward channel on the daily chart. The token also trades below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs. These moving averages sit near $1.18, $1.29, and $1.50, respectively.
The first resistance area remains near $1.17 and $1.18. A stronger recovery would need XRP to reclaim $1.20 with a clear close. That level has become important after sellers rejected the previous upward move.

A move above $1.20 could return short-term control to buyers. If momentum improves, XRP price may then test $1.29 and $1.40. A stronger breakout would place $1.50 and $1.65 back in focus.
