XRP futures have reached a yearly low in open interest, dropping to $3.49 billion, which analysts interpret as a potential market reset. This decline is seen as a sign of reduced speculative activity, possibly leading to a consolidation period. Chris Widmer from Chain.Reach noted that the stability in XRP's price, despite the low open interest, suggests that larger investors are maintaining their positions while retail traders exit. The upcoming introduction of CME's XRP options is anticipated to boost market liquidity and attract institutional demand, potentially influencing volatility. Crypto analyst Chad Steingraber expressed optimism, indicating readiness for market changes following the drop in open interest.
