XRP has gained more than 70% in a technical rebound since the end of August, reaching about $1.50 and rising roughly 50% over the past month. Binance data show that futures activity has contributed significantly to the advance, as XRP open interest recorded its strongest increase since August 2025. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost attributed the change to two related factors: bullish momentum drawing more investors into long and short positions, and the mechanical increase in the value of existing open positions as XRP’s price rises.
