XRP Soars by 9% as Market Reacts to ETF Listing Signal

Digital asset Ripple—XRPUSD—soared on Monday by 9.10% at the time of writing, settling at $2.52 as investors reentered positions in anticipation of Exchange Trade Fund (ETF) listing.

The U.S. crypto market vibrated positively as the first spot XRP ETFs may launch next week, with the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) listing five funds under its ‘active and pre-launch’ category.

Acting as a new catalyst, the listing on DTCC hints at imminent approval by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, driving its intraday price surge.

While the DTCC listing does not constitute regulatory approval, it demonstrates that issuers have completed critical operational preparations including custody arrangements, pricing mechanisms, and settlement infrastructure.

Trading data showed that XRP rose by 9.10% to $.2.52 with a trading volume of $6.08 billion over the last 24 hours. The market value of the digital asset also expanded to $1.52 billion.
