According to PANews, Nexo research analyst Iliya Kalchev recently noted a significant increase in XRP's open interest, indicating a growing appeal and expanding investor base, alongside heightened trading activity. This surge is attributed to favorable regulatory developments and a rebound in the cryptocurrency market. Kalchev emphasized that XRP's fundamental strengths and widespread adoption are key drivers of its growth.
Data from Coingecko reveals that since December, XRP's price has repeatedly surpassed the $2 mark, making it one of the top-performing altcoins over the past 30 days. Additionally, Ripple's approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to launch the RLUSD stablecoin has further bolstered market confidence. Notably, XRP offers an annualized yield of up to 12% on Nexo's platform, providing investors with additional earning opportunities and drawing user interest. Kalchev stated that XRP's future trajectory will depend on Ripple's strategic decisions and market maturity, with current trends suggesting continued growth and relevance.
