Market Impact
The strategic launch of several spot XRP ETFs will have a profound impact on the XRP market. Moreover, XRP has gained significant regulatory clarity in the United States to attract more institutional capital ahead.
Amid the growing global money supply ahead of the anticipated capital rotation from Bitcoin to altcoins, XRP is now well-positioned to benefit from the spot ETF listings. Furthemore, XRP price has suffered midterm bearish sentiment after being trapped in a consolidation phase year-to-date.
The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $213 billion, recorded a 26% surge in its 24-hour average trading volume to around $6.12 billion.

From a technical analysis standpoint, XRP price has been retesting a crucial support level around $2, which was a resistance level during the 2021 crypto bull cycle. As such, if XRP price follows its 2017 playbook, another parabolic rally to new all-time high is imminent.
