The launch of the XRPR ETF in the U.S. and Ripple's new partnership with DBS Bank and Franklin Templeton have driven XRP's price up by 3.6%, reaching $3.12. The XRPR ETF offers institutional-style exposure to XRP, potentially increasing market liquidity. Meanwhile, the collaboration introduces tokenized-collateral repo markets on the XRP Ledger, enhancing institutional access and transaction volume. These developments mark significant progress towards broader institutional adoption of XRP.
