A growing theme has begun to surface, as more market participants observe how companies approach digital assets on their balance sheets.
Crypto researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) highlighted this shift by pointing to documented cases where XRP has moved beyond speculative exposure and into formal treasury strategy.
In the image he shared, XRP appears alongside other major digital assets that benefited from what is described as the digital asset treasury company narrative. The emphasis is not on trading activity, but on long-term balance sheet allocation and management.
Expect more companies to adopt XRP as a core treasury asset in 2026.✅
Alongside this, XRP ETFs/ETPs are expected to grow, and as XRPFi on XRPL matures, both trends act as liquidity catalysts driving capital into the XRP DeFi ecosystem.💯

Companies Position XRP as a Treasury Asset
According to the material SMQKE posted, several firms have adopted XRP as a core treasury holding. Evernorth, a newly formed U.S. company, is cited as building a $1.1 billion war chest to acquire XRP. The document states that the company already holds 473 million XRP. That amount represents 0.473% of the total XRP supply.
The image also references VivoPower as another notable participant. VivoPower gained exposure to a 211 million XRP position through a budgeted $100 million acquisition of Ripple shares at an 86% discount. Since then, the company announced partnerships with Flare and Doppler Finance to maximize returns tied to its crypto treasury strategy.
ETPs and XRPFi
The image further states, “We expect to see an expansion in XRP ETP listings in 2026, alongside the launch of additional XRP-focused DATs.” It also notes that as yield opportunities on XRPL develop through XRPFi, more DATs may allocate capital into the ecosystem to capture incremental returns.
This section links institutional products with on-chain utility. Exchange-traded products expand access for traditional investors. XRPFi development increases potential use cases on XRPL. Together, they describe parallel channels for capital deployment rather than isolated trends.

What This Means for XRP Price Growth
Treasury adoption changes supply dynamics. Coins held for strategic reserves tend to circulate less. That reduces available float during periods of rising demand. At the same time, ETP growth increases accessibility without requiring direct custody. Both factors can support sustained inflows rather than short-lived spikes.
XRPFi adds another layer. Yield generation creates incentives to deploy XRP on-chain, rather than leaving it idle. That activity can deepen liquidity while increasing transaction volume across XRPL.
What Comes Next?
The timeline highlighted in the document points to 2026. That window aligns treasury adoption, product expansion, and on-chain financial development. None of these guarantees price appreciation on its own. Together, they describe a structure where capital has multiple reasons to enter and remain within the XRP ecosystem.
