Nexo Analyst: The surge in XRP's open contracts reflects its appeal and fundamental advantages

On December 13, Nexo research analyst Iliya Kalchev recently stated that the significant increase in XRP's open contracts indicates its growing appeal, expanding investor base, and increased trading activity. This surge is believed to be related to favorable regulatory progress and a rebound in the crypto market. In addition, Kalchev believes that XRP's fundamental strengths and popularity are key drivers of its growth.

According to Coingecko data, XRP has repeatedly broken through the $2 mark since December and has become one of the best-performing altcoins over the past 30 days. Meanwhile, Ripple's approval by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to launch RLUSD stablecoin has further boosted market confidence. Notably, XRP offers an annualized return rate of up to 12% on Nexo platform's financial products, providing investors with additional income opportunities and attracting user attention. Kalchev stated that XRP's trend will depend on Ripple's strategy and market maturity; current trends indicate its growth and relevance may continue.
