[Coin World] Recently, the on-chain transaction activity of XRP has been exceptionally vibrant. The daily payment volume has surpassed 1 billion coins, and there was even a short-term rise of 1000% at one point—this figure is indeed striking. The driving force behind this is clear: the launch of the Spot ETF has brought in a substantial amount of new funds, representing a genuine structural demand rise. This is completely different from the past purely speculative hype.
However, to be honest, the current price of XRP is still hovering in the correction range, far from its peak. But this signal cannot be ignored—historical data shows that such a significant rise in volume usually accompanies a subsequent rapid rebound. The key is whether it can hold important support levels. Once it breaks down, driven by sufficient liquidity and a continuous increase in trading demand, XRP is likely to experience a sharp fluctuation. Whether it goes up or down will depend on the performance in the next few days.

Analysts from the same fund company have provided completely different views on the crypto market due to differing research directions and investor demands. Variations in investment strategies, timelines, and the diversity of market risks have led to these differing opinions. In the long term, the participation of traditional brokers in ETFs will improve demand, but there is pressure in the short term. Analysts predict that there will be opportunities for Bitcoin and Ethereum to rise before the end of the year based on market signals, but there are also differences in expectations.

[Coin World] Just now, a leading exchange officially announced its new product launch plan. On December 21, three new coin Perptual Futures will be launched in succession:
At 6 PM (GMT+8), the ZKP/USDT Perptual Futures will be launched, with a leverage of up to 40 times, which is the highest leverage among the three contracts.
In the following 15 minutes, the GUA/USDT Perptual Futures followed suit, offering a 20x leverage option.
In another 15 minutes, the IR/USDT Perptual Futures will also be launched, with the same 20x leverage.

Especially with the 40x leverage ZKP contract, the profit potential is great but the risks also need to be managed well.
