XRP on track for biggest weekly gain in 21 months, up about 50%, as Treasury buyback plan lifts yield-curve hopes

Aug 24, 2026 · MACRO

XRP is on track for its largest weekly rise in 21 months, up about 50% this week, its best run since November 2024.

The United States Treasury said it would expand its bond buyback program. Some market participants read that as a step toward a policy of keeping long-term yields lower, a practice often called yield curve control. That reading has raised demand for risk assets broadly.

XRP has moved without a token-specific catalyst, driven instead by the macro signal. Money reported the trend on Aug 23, 2026.
