XRP Poised for Breakout as Spot ETFs Near $2 Billion and Golden Cross Forms

XRP is showing signs of a potential breakout, with spot ETFs nearing $2 billion in inflows and a bullish golden cross technical signal. The token's price is $1.5485, down 1.2% in 24 hours. Institutional demand and whale activity have increased, with open interest in derivatives at $3.6 billion. Analysts suggest a move toward $2 if resistance at $1.60 is breached. The GENIUS Act may boost adoption of RLUSD, Ripple's stablecoin, potentially increasing XRP's utility.
