币界网报道：XRP futures open interest surged to $542 million, marking a 10% increase in 24 hours, yet the token's price remains stagnant below $1.80. Despite heightened trading activity and bullish sentiment in derivatives markets, XRP has struggled to break key resistance levels, trading between $1.70 and $1.78 recently. Analysts attribute the price stagnation to profit-taking after a 20% rally earlier this month and ongoing regulatory uncertainty surrounding Ripple's legal battle with the SEC. The derivatives market shows strong demand, with funding rates turning positive, indicating traders are paying premiums to maintain long positions. However, spot market volumes remain subdued at $1.5 billion daily, suggesting retail investors are cautious. Some market observers note that XRP's price action often lags behind futures activity, with potential for a breakout if bullish momentum sustains in derivatives while spot buying pressure increases.
