XRP experienced a 3% increase on Monday, climbing from $2.47 to a session high of $2.56, as traders moved away from gold and into cryptocurrencies. This shift was influenced by easing geopolitical tensions and favorable U.S. inflation data. Institutional interest in XRP is growing, with traders positioning ahead of the SEC's ETF decisions. Ripple's recent $1 billion capital raise has also bolstered market sentiment. By the end of the session, XRP prices stabilized around $2.44.
