Well, well, darling, it seems XRP has decided to turn the tables on us all. In a dazzling display of market flair, its open interest has ballooned by over 200% in just twenty-four hours-because who doesn’t love a little drama before breakfast? And mercy me, it’s even managed to topple Solana (SOL) – how absolutely gauche of it! 🥂
XRP Outshines Solana in Futures Volume-The Plot Thickens
If you can believe it, according to the illustrious Glassnode, XRP’s 24-hour volume tiptoed up to a blinding $12.4 billion-an increase of 208%! Meanwhile, our dear Solana was left licking its proverbial wounds with just $9.6 billion. The gap widens-by a cool $2.8 billion-like a pair of well-placed soufflés. 🎩
This newfound enthusiasm has given XRP’s open interest quite the boost, rising over 15% to a luscious $5.9 billion. Those traders are evidently betting big-oh, the thrill of the gamble! (Nice to see some confidence, even if it might all come crashing in a puff of smoke.)
$XRP futures surged with a 24-hour volume up +208% to $12.4B-overpowering Solana’s modest $9.6B. Open interest climbed to $5.9B (+15%), hinting at a voracious appetite for risk-longs are in, darling! But beware, as this could mean a rather messy liquidation if the tides turn. 🍸

Now, for those of you not versed in financial jargon, ‘open interest’ is basically the total value of futures contracts that haven’t yet been settled. Imagine it as the market’s poker hand-more chips on the table, and everyone’s feeling pretty confident-or perhaps just a tad reckless. Either way, the crowd’s betting big on XRP’s future, one way or another.
As if the scene wasn’t ripe enough, the latest gossip is that XRP remains in a bullish mood-after that charming little joint dismissal of the Ripple vs. SEC brouhaha. Yes, the parties have decided to call it a day, clearing the air that XRP is *not* a security. How elegant. 💁♀️
Speculation Around XRP ETF: To Buy or Not To Buy?
At present, XRP is trading around $3.27-up a tidy 7.6% in just a day! It soared from a modest $3 to hit a peak of $3.38-truly a rollercoaster less tame than your average Sunday brunch. But beware, my dear speculators: such reckless exuberance might invite a swift rebalancing, with losses lurking like paparazzi behind a velvet curtain.
Meanwhile, savvy investors are piling in with hopes of an SEC nod for an XRP ETF-fingers crossed and champagne in hand. With the appeals dismissed, the regulatory climate seems more inviting than a summer garden party. So, who knows? Maybe the big bucks are about to whisper ‘green light’… or so they hope. 🍾
