XRP News: XRP to the Moon? $9 Billion Surge Stuns Market

XRP gains $9B overnight, shoots up 7. ETF launches drive influx. Whale selloff creates trading fever.

The XRP  shocked the market by increasing its value by 9.5 billion within 24 hours. It had increased 7 percent to reach a record of 2.20, surpassing the performance of the crypto market, which had risen 1.97 percent. 

This action came after XRP recorded a small change in the weekly change of +0.6. The increased interest overnight indicates increasing institutional interest and higher activity of the traders.

The activity of whales was immense. As the Ali Charts indicated on X, 180 million XRP was offloaded by whales, generating profits. 

The market responded to these measures, yet the retail traders reversed the blow by buying in, increasing the social dominance of XRP by 12%. Within one day, the trading volume increased by 51.5%.

The aggressive buying by the smaller investors subsidized this large selloff and helped stabilize the prices, even with the augmented volatility.

ETF Launches Trigger Frenzy

The rise in XRP was in line with the introduction of two American spot ETFs, the GXRP by Grayscale and the fund by Franklin Templeton. 

These ETFs raised $100 million in net inflows on the first day of trading, according to RipBullWinkle. The XRPC ETF of Canary Capital has also been on the rise, and currently has a value of $306 million.

The ETF-based requirement introduced liquidity and the tied-up tokens in the custodial accounts, briefly relieving the selling pressure.

The rally propelled XRP into a bullish position, and technical indicators were flashing momentum. Clues such as the golden cross and divergence of the RSI contributed to the breakout. 

It was soon resisted on the market above 2.23 as profit-taking commenced, and this was chiefly due to whales, according to Ali Charts in the X posting. 

Nevertheless, XRP preserved the majority of its profits with a significant spike in market capitalization and involvement of traders.

It is important to have levels of at least 2.20. When the price is below this level, the technical data indicates that one may be corrected. 

The important indicators have now begun to indicate high volume-to-market-cap ratios- high ratios during peak surges. 

The ETFs launched in the market gave institutional exposure to new avenues, and traders are still awaiting possible signs of sustainable growth or additional retreat.
