• The altcoin has printed 513.07% in gains in the past year, outperforming altcoins from 10-125.
• The MACD indicator for XRP could confirm a bearish divergence if the bulls do not take over soon.

XRP Market Data

Investors expect XRP to benefit significantly under a potentially pro-crypto US administration, considering the fact that it was created in the United States.

Moreover, crypto-friendly Mark Uyeda was named as the acting chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which could mean a green signal for various altcoins ETFs, including spot XRP ETFs. As pointed out by the financial institution JP Morgan, if approved, the US XRP ETFs could attract $3 billion to $8 billion in investment.
