XRP has fallen by 13 points in the past 24 hours, but the futures market is active, with open interest rising by 3.88% to 1.55 billion contracts, indicating that investors are optimistic about potential major news or partnerships. This divergence between price and contract volume suggests that the market may be about to change.

According to industry leaders at the Ripple Swell conference, the XRP Ledger serves a dual purpose of value transfer and real-world payments, making it stand out in the Crypto Assets ETF market. Luke Hoersten, CEO of Bitnomial, highlighted its dual strategy: using XRP for wealth storage and RLUSD for payments. Steven McClurg from Canary Capital pointed out that the SEC's rules now allow for "no latency revisions," which could lead to the launch of a Spot XRP ETF as early as next week. Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, noted that investors are confident in XRP, while Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg believes that an XRP ETF could be a breakthrough in the next cycle.
