XRP has been rising steadily over the past week, forming an ascending triangle pattern. It was trading around $0.60 during Thursday’s European session, down 0.2% in the last 24 hours. The market is hopeful as it awaits the SEC’s closed meeting on July 25, 2024, which might involve a Ripple-SEC settlement.
Speculation about this settlement could lead to a “sell-the-news” situation if the news doesn’t pan out. Meanwhile, the U.S. has become more crypto-friendly, with former President Donald Trump supporting Bitcoin and spot Ethereum ETFs recently approved, signaling a shift in the government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.
XRP Sees Significant Increase in Open Interest and Trading Volume
Data from Coinalyze reveals a 9.54% rise in XRP’s open interest (OI) over the last 24 hours, indicating increased investor positions in the asset. On July 9, XRP’s OI had dropped to $327.48 million, its lowest since September 2023, due to a market panic following a German Bitcoin sell-off. Since then, OI has surged by 79%.
CoinGecko reports a 34.4% increase in XRP’s trading volume in the past 24 hours, reflecting heightened market activity.
Additionally, Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF (HDEX.BH), a fully physically backed ETF tracking the Nasdaq Crypto Index™ with diversified crypto exposure, has submitted its S-1 form for the crypto index fund ETF on July 24.

The fund will start with ETH and BTC but has also added XRP to its portfolio of 11 crypto assets. This move fuels speculation about the potential launch of an XRP ETF, increasing optimism among investors.
