XRP holds the $2 handle amid ETF and banking-license narrative

XRP trades near $2.00–2.02, slightly higher intraday but down about 1% over 24 hours, as it digests heavy recent volatility and profit-taking after its spot ETF debut. Bulls point to strong ETF flows and Ripple’s U.S. trust bank push as structural supports, while bears note ongoing selling by long-term holders and sensitivity to Bitcoin’s swings.
