Ripple, that perennial optimist, has seized the spotlight with the launch of its spot XRP ETF in the United States. The REX Osprey XRPR ETF, a name as unwieldy as a Chekhovian family drama, recorded $37 million in day-one volume-$24 million of which was traded in the first 90 minutes. Analysts, those eternal soothsayers, predict XRP could reach $5 in the near term. 🤑 Yet, one cannot help but wonder: is this the dawn of a new era, or merely a fleeting moment of glory before the inevitable return to obscurity? After all, even the brightest stars eventually fade.
