XRP has captured attention with its impressive rally, surging from $0.58 to $3.16 in just a few months. Weekly gains of 25% have further amplified excitement, outpacing other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which recorded a significant yet more modest rise of over 11% this week.

The catalyst? President-elect Donald Trump’s vocal support for cryptocurrency innovation. His administration is expected to foster favourable regulations from the SEC and even hint at potential U.S. government investments in crypto assets.

While Bitcoin benefits from Trump’s pro-crypto stance, XRP stands out due to Trump’s preference for U.S.-founded digital currencies. This endorsement has amplified confidence in XRP, boosting investor enthusiasm.

Adding to the optimism, Ripple’s President Monica Long highlighted the growing potential of XRP ETFs during recent discussions. Her comments point to a wave of regulatory changes that could pave the way for XRP-focused spot ETFs in the U.S., aligning perfectly with the market’s excitement.

Two European XRP ETFs are catching attention amid this surge: the WisdomTree Physical XRP ETC (ETR:WXRP) and the CoinShares Physical XRP (ETR:XRRL) recorded impressive performances of 41.02% and 41.00% respectively. Both have seen extraordinary weekly growth, reflecting the increased demand for XRP exposure.
