XRP Climbs to $2.13 as CME Futures Launch and SEC Settlement Drive Institutional Momentum
XRP is trading 1.55% higher on Wednesday at $2.13, up 18.3% over the past month as institutional interest, favorable legal momentum, and a growing derivatives market drive renewed confidence in Ripple’s native token.
