🚨XRP has just entered the US banking system - while traders remain skeptical. 🚨
This is not a price-first story. It is a structural shift.
Ripple has received conditional approval from the US OCC to form a national credit bank for XRP. This places XRP and RLUSD within the framework of the US banking system, not around it. Custody, settlement, compliance - this is at the federal level, not a gimmick.
Now look at the disconnect.
Derivatives sentiment remains weak. XRP's open interest is about $1.09 billion, down nearly 1.8%. Funding is mixed to negative in some places, and long-term futures are trading at a discount. Traders are taking precautions, not racing.
At the same time, XRP spot ETFs have seen net inflows of $20.17 million. Real capital is moving while leverage remains cautious.
This gap is significant.
When immediate demand grows but derivatives remain bearish, it usually means that the price lags behind the fundamentals. The market is focused on short-term positions, not on what has just changed.
✅ My opinion: Again... the price may remain volatile in the near term. But the approval of the national credit bank is not noise and not hype. It is a long-term re-evaluation event - and those never show up in the first candle.
