XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has seen a significant increase, rising over 12% in the past day.
XRP Price Surge
According to CoinGecko data, the token reached an intraday high of $2.87, its highest level since December 3. This spike is attributed to ongoing ETF rumors.
ETF Market Impact
Anticipation around an ETF grows following a prediction from JPMorgan, suggesting that an XRP-backed ETF could attract up to $8 billion in investments.
Analytics and Forecasts
Santiment analytics highlights that the current rally is supported by 'continued enormous accumulation' among crypto wallets holding between 1 and 10 million tokens. These wallets now hold 37% more coins than they did two months ago. Additionally, the upcoming resignation of SEC Chair Gary Gensler provides further market dynamics.
XRP is now only 16% away from reaching a new all-time high after seven years, making its current position particularly noteworthy amid these unfolding events.
