What to Know
News Background
The price spike followed a broader risk-on move in crypto markets as traders rotated out of lower-cap altcoins and into high-liquidity majors.
However, on-chain data revealed aggressive sell-side flows from whale addresses and smart money funds—raising concerns that the rally may have been driven by short-term positioning ahead of regulatory catalysts.
The SEC is expected to clarify XRP’s securities treatment by mid-August, a potential binary event for the token.
