According to Eleanor Terrett, the SEC has postponed its decision on Franklin Templeton’s proposed XRP spot ETF until June 17, as reported on sec.gov. This regulatory delay introduces continued uncertainty for XRP traders and investors, potentially affecting short-term price action and trading volume. Market participants are advised to monitor the June 17 deadline closely, as ETF approval or further delay could trigger significant volatility in XRP markets.

According to glassnode, XRP Hot Capital experienced a significant surge from $0.92 billion on April 20 to $2.17 billion on April 28, marking a $1.25 billion or 134.9% increase. Despite this sharp rebound, current Hot Capital levels remain approximately 72% below the December 2024 peak of $7.66 billion. This sustained lower capital inflow may indicate that while short-term speculative interest is rising, overall market conviction is still recovering, which could affect trading momentum and liquidity in the near term (source: glassnode, April 29, 2025).
