XRP Surges 2.31% After $125M Ripple-SEC Settlement Proposal and Nasdaq Index Inclusion

XRPUSDT rose 2.31% over the past 24 hours, trading at $2.1419 on Binance, with a 24h open of $2.0935. The price increase is primarily attributed to the joint Ripple-SEC motion proposing a $125 million settlement, which has reduced legal uncertainty and improved investor sentiment. Additional positive drivers include XRP’s addition to the Nasdaq benchmark index and Vivopower’s $100 million institutional DeFi deployment using XRP via Flare, both signaling growing adoption and institutional interest. Market capitalization stands at approximately $131.9 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of $4.45 billion, and XRP continues to hold key support above $2.10, reflecting robust liquidity and resilience amid recent volatility.
