XRP News Today: Trump Executive Order Could Unlock $8.7 Trillion 401(k) Crypto Access XRP Gains 153%

President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order directing key U.S. agencies—including the Securities and Exchange Commission—to revise regulations and guidance to allow 401(k) accounts to include cryptocurrencies. This directive aims to democratize access to alternative assets for millions of American investors [1]. According to the Investment Company Institute, these accounts currently hold $8.7 trillion in assets [1]. Analysts suggest that if a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) is approved and included in 401(k) plans, billions of dollars could flow into XRP within weeks [1].

Following the announcement, XRP's trading volume surged by 153% in the past 24 hours, significantly outpacing the modest gains seen in other major altcoins like Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) [1]. On the 4-hour chart, XRP has broken through a key resistance level at $3.30, with momentum expected to carry into the weekend amid increased buyer interest [1]. A short-term target of $3.65 has been identified, with the potential for further upward movement if institutional demand is unlocked by regulatory approvals [1].

While a price jump to $1,000 appears ambitious, analysts have suggested that a move to $10 is plausible under the right conditions, particularly if a spot ETF is launched and 401(k) inclusion is authorized [1]. Such developments could attract major institutional investment and significantly impact XRP’s price trajectory [1].

Notably, the bullish market sentiment is also spurring interest in other high-upside projects. For example, the presale of the meme coin Maxi Doge (MAXI) has already raised nearly $500,000, indicating strong retail investor appetite for speculative opportunities [1]. The project has announced a leveraged investment strategy through the Maxi Fund, using up to 1,000x leverage to pursue high-conviction trades [1].
