Ripple’s XRP token appears to be bucking the overall market trend, as the asset is up 5.8% on the daily chart, 6.2% on the weekly chart, and 0.8% on the 14-day chart, while Bitcoin (BTC) is down 0.4% over the past 24 hours and continues to trade just below $58,000.
The recent rise in Ripple’s XRP token is likely due to Grayscale launching the first XRP trust in the U.S. The move has reignited discussions about the possible launch of an XRP ETF later this year. The launch of a Bitcoin ETF earlier this year opened the door to more cryptocurrency-based ETF products. An XRP ETF could propel the asset to new all-time highs.
