Will XRP reach $2? How Evernos Nasdaq listing could affect price
Evernos (XRPN) will list on Nasdaq on the 8th, holding 473 million XRP. The company plans to use these holdings in DeFi protocols, potentially reducing XRP's circulating supply. Analysts suggest this could push XRP's price toward $2 if demand remains steady. XRP is currently trading around $1.50, with technical indicators showing support. The listing may also increase XRP's correlation with U.S. equities, adding volatility.
