XRP Developments:
Ripple's CEO commented on a major XRP milestone, though specifics were not detailed. A community commentator, "J4b1," suggested May 19 could be pivotal for XRP, potentially due to the launch of a futures ETF, which could pave the way for U.S. spot XRP ETFs. Over 11 of 70+ crypto ETF applications are XRP-related. The SEC's new chairman, Paul Atkins, is seen as crypto-friendly, potentially easing regulatory hurdles. XRP trades at $2.38, up 252% since 2024.
