XRP’s recent rally stalls amid regulatory silence, while Bitcoin continues its bullish momentum, fueled by optimism over a U.S.-China trade deal and strong institutional demand.
XRP briefly surged to $2.4813 on May 11 amid growing speculation around a possible XRP-spot ETF, but the rally lost steam as BlackRock remained silent regarding its recent meeting with the SEC. The lack of clarity spooked investors, causing XRP to drop to $2.3665 by session close.
Despite multiple applications for XRP ETFs—including those from 21Shares, Bitwise, Grayscale, and Franklin Templeton—the SEC has extended the review period, delaying any short-term catalyst for XRP’s price.
However, regulatory progress may still be on the horizon. The SEC filed a motion to vacate the XRP injunction and reduce Ripple’s penalty from $125 million to $50 million, a move widely seen as a step toward settlement. If approved by Judge Analisa Torres, this could open the door for XRP-spot ETF approvals and bring legal clarity.
While XRP faced pressure, Bitcoin (BTC) held firm, closing at $103,805 after bouncing from $95K just days ago. The momentum remains strong as investors digest news of a potential U.S.-China trade agreement announced on May 11.
Despite slight profit-taking, BTC remains in bullish territory and could surge toward its record high of $109,312 if macro sentiment remains favorable.
