XRP News Today: XRP Futures Volume Spikes 208% After SEC Lawsuit Resolution

XRP futures trading volume surged by 208% to $12.4 billion following the resolution of Ripple’s long-standing SEC lawsuit on August 8, 2025 [1]. This sharp increase in activity indicates a strong rebound in market confidence, driven by the legal clarity now surrounding XRP. The price of XRP also rose by over 11% to $3.38 amid the resolution, reflecting optimism among traders and investors [2]. Open interest in XRP futures climbed by 15% to $5.9 billion, highlighting the heightened liquidity and speculative interest in the token [1].

The resolution marked the end of a five-year legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which had cast uncertainty over XRP’s regulatory status. With the appeals dismissed, institutional investors and traders are now positioning themselves for potential long-term opportunities, leading to a significant shift in trading dynamics [1]. XRP’s futures volume outperformed other major cryptocurrencies, including Solana, underscoring its renewed prominence in the digital asset market [3].

The surge in volume and open interest has also been linked to growing expectations for XRP-based ETF approvals. On prediction platforms like Polymarket, the likelihood of such products receiving regulatory approval increased from 70% to over 90% in the aftermath of the lawsuit’s resolution [1]. Analysts note that the legal outcome could pave the way for broader institutional participation and enhanced market infrastructure, particularly in the U.S. [1].

Technical indicators suggest a favorable near-term outlook for XRP. The asset is currently trading at $3.23, slightly below its recent high of $3.32. It is forming a classic bull flag pattern, with strong support levels at key EMAs and a RSI of 57.81, indicating a potential upward movement [1]. The MACD is also showing positive momentum, suggesting the possibility of a bullish crossover that could drive further gains [1].

In terms of social engagement, XRP’s AltRank on LunarCrush rose to 22, reflecting a sharp increase in community activity and sentiment [1]. The token recorded 29.75 million total engagements and 59.99K mentions, further reinforcing its strong market appeal [1]. XRP’s market cap also climbed 5.61% to $191.91 billion, with a 173.62% increase in trading volume to $12.62 billion. This level of activity suggests significant institutional repositioning, particularly given the 6.7% volume-to-market cap ratio [1].

With a circulating supply of 59.3 billion XRP—representing 59.3% of the maximum token supply—XRP maintains a controlled and stable release model, contributing to its long-term price stability [1]. Looking ahead, the next key price level for XRP is $3.40, which, if breached, could signal a continuation of the bull flag pattern and push the price toward $3.50 and beyond [1]. If ETF approvals proceed as anticipated, XRP could experience accelerated adoption and substantial price appreciation over the coming months.

The resolution of Ripple’s SEC case has not only reshaped the trajectory of XRP but also set a precedent for regulatory clarity in the broader digital asset industry. As the market continues to adapt, the implications for institutional investment and long-term growth remain significant [1].
