The trading volume for XRP (XRP) reached $2.16 billion, up 6% in the past 24 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Derivatives <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/XRP\" target=\"_blank\">data<\/a> from Coinglass shows a 20.2% spike in volume to $3.95 billion, while open interest dropped 0.95% to $4.78 billion, indicating mixed sentiment among leveraged traders.<\/p>\n<p>The latest price action follows a major announcement from Nasdaq-listed energy firm VivoPower. On Wednesday, May 28, the company <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2025\/05\/28\/3089823\/0\/en\/VivoPower-Announces-XRP-Focused-Digital-Asset-Treasury-Strategy-and-US-121-Million-Private-Placement-Priced-at-US-6-05-Per-Share-Above-Last-Market-Closing-Price-Under-NASDAQ-Rules.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> it had raised $121 million in a private share offering led by Saudi Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Abdulaziz Al Saud. <\/p>\n<p>VivoPower says it will use most of the proceeds to establish an XRP-focused treasury reserve, making it the first publicly traded firm to adopt such a strategy. The offering involved 20 million shares sold at $6.05 each, slightly above the stock\u2019s previous closing price. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Following the news, VivoPower shares spiked 26% before settling around $6.75, still up 11% on the day. The move drew praise from XRP insiders, including former Ripple board member Adam Traidman, who has joined VivoPower as Chairman of the Board of Advisors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are honored to be leading this capital raising for a company that will be the first in the world to execute an XRP-focused treasury strategy,\u201d said Prince Abdulaziz. Kevin Chin, VivoPower\u2019s Executive Chairman, emphasized a shared long-term vision with the XRP community.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite the announcement, the token failed to pick up steam. XRP\u2019s technical indicators suggest a short-term neutral-to-bearish bias. Now in neutral territory and lacking any clear momentum, the relative strength index stands at 46. The moving average convergence divergence has also turned slightly bearish.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14384026\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" ><\/source><\/p>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XRP price analysis. Credit: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The majority of moving averages are flashing sell signals, particularly the 10\u201330 EMAs and SMAs. The longer-term averages, such as the 100- and 200-day SMAs, remain above the current price levels, indicating that the bullish sentiment hasn\u2019t entirely subsided.<\/p>\n<p>If XRP can recover the $2.40 resistance level with more volume, it might retest the upper end of its weekly range at $2.47 and possibly break higher in a bullish scenario. In the short term, a push above that might pave the way toward $2.60.<\/p>\n<p>However, XRP may return to the $2.10 support level if selling pressure increases and the price falls below $2.24. With organizations like VivoPower entering the market and investors\u2019 attention now turning to the Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s pending rulings on XRP ETFs, XRP remains a token to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite a significant announcement from energy firm VivoPower, XRP is trading at $2.29, down 1.1% in the past 24 hours and over 4% for the week.
