XRP Drops 5% To $2.40: Can Spot XRP ETFs Save The Bull Run?
XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has dropped by 5% to $2.40 as hopes for a major rebound rests on the approval of spot XRP ETFs.
| Cryptocurrency | Ticker | Price | Market Cap | 7-Day Trend |
| XRP | (CRYPTO: XRP) | $2.40 | $144.6 billion | -8.2% |
| Bitcoin | (CRYPTO: BTC) | $107,868.78 | $2.15 trillion | -6.3% |
| Ethereum | (CRYPTO: ETH) | $3,714.89 | $448.4 billion | -10.2% |
Trader Notes: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez warned XRP may retest the $2.25 support amid current weakness.
Javon Marks reiterated his bullish long-term outlook, recalling XRP's 570% surge from $0.49 to $3.35 in the past cycle and predicting it could now outperform Bitcoin by 600% in the next move higher.
Statistics: According to Whale Alert, 500 million XRP (≈$1.2 billion) were unlocked from Ripple's escrow, along with two additional releases of 300 million and 200 million XRP, totaling nearly $2.4 billion in liquidity.
This may be Ripple's effort to stabilize market conditions amid increased selling pressure.
Community News: Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, stated that the first spot XRP ETFs could launch within two weeks, marking a historic milestone following Ripple's recent legal victory against the SEC.
The approval would symbolize a shift toward friendlier U.S. crypto regulation and could ignite renewed institutional interest in XRP.
