XRP rallies 17% while XRPL amendment gains support
XRP surged 17% to $1.43 as Ripple's vote for the PermissionDelegationV1_1 amendment advanced in the XRP Ledger's upgrade process. The amendment needs 80% validator support for two weeks. RippleX's Jazzi Cooper linked the feature to controls needed by regulated financial institutions. XRP's rise coincided with increased ETF and futures activity, with $13.24 million in net ETF inflows and $3.44 billion in futures open interest.
