The XRP market has entered a phase of expanding volatility once again. This is because global investor sentiment is being significantly shaken by the White House shooting incident, while ceasefire negotiations between the United States and Iran are still ongoing.

Nevertheless, an analysis has emerged in the market stating, "Regardless of political shocks, the institutional trading market continues to grow." In fact, a key indicator showing the structural changes in the XRP market has appeared. The CME XRP futures market was calculated to have recorded a cumulative trading volume of $63 billion about a year after trading began. The industry is interpreting this as a signal of expanding institution-centric liquidity, breaking away from the previously individual investor-dominated market.

Ripple and Wall Street Accelerate Their Push into the Institutional Market Ripple is also accelerating the expansion of the institutional market. Recently, Ripple Prime announced a partnership with the US institutional platform EDX Markets, revealing plans to expand the supply of spot and perpetual futures liquidity. Furthermore, as it became known that Bank of America holds crypto ETFs, the perspective has emerged in the market that "Wall Street's access to digital assets is proceeding faster than expected."

Future Variables: Geopolitical Risks and Expectations However, market uncertainty still remains. Safety issues within the US political sphere and the potential resurgence of tensions in the Middle East could act as burden factors for the entire risk asset market. In particular, if the ceasefire negotiations falter, there is talk that changes in international oil prices and the movement of the dollar could directly impact the virtual asset market.

Amidst this, there are growing expectations among domestic investors, with some suggesting, "Isn't XRP moving towards a structure that simultaneously connects the ETF, institutional, remittance, and liquidity markets?"
