币界网报道：XRP surged over 30% this week amid renewed market optimism, briefly reclaiming the $0.70 level before settling around $0.65. The rally follows Ethereum's strong price action, with ETH breaking above $3,500 for the first time since 2022. Analysts attribute XRP's momentum to broader altcoin strength and anticipation around Ripple's ongoing SEC lawsuit developments. Meanwhile, Pectra, Ethereum's next major upgrade expected in late 2024, is generating excitement with proposals to enhance wallet functionality through ERC-7677 and ERC-4337 standards. The upgrade aims to improve account abstraction, allowing smart contracts to initiate transactions and pay gas fees on users' behalf. Market observers note these technical developments, combined with improving crypto market sentiment, are driving renewed interest in major altcoins like XRP and Ethereum ecosystem projects.
