Synthetix Expands to Arbitrum, Enhancing Multi-Chain Strategy with New Features

Daily Top Performer — Ripple (XRP)

The SPX index is up by 0.77%, the boost was primarily driven by significant gains in major technology stocks, such as Tesla, Apple, and Broadcom, despite rising Treasury yields. Investors are now focused on the upcoming U.S. retail sales data for May and speeches from Federal Reserve officials, which could provide clues on the timing of an anticipated interest rate cut. The broader cryptocurrency market is mixed, with Bitcoin rising by 0.18% and Ether dropping by 2.29% in the past 24 hours.

Today’s outperformer is XRP, which jumped 0.8% following the announcement of Ripple and Archax's partnership to tokenize real-world assets on the XRP Ledger.

Ripple (XRP), launched in August 2012, is a blockchain technology company focused on improving international payments with its cryptocurrency, XRP, which serves as a bridge currency to facilitate fast, affordable, and transparent cross-border transactions. Ripple and Archax are collaborating to tokenize hundreds of millions of dollars of real-world assets on the XRP Ledger, aiming to make it a leading blockchain for such tokenizations. This partnership, announced at the XRP Ledger APEX 2024 summit in Amsterdam, builds on a previous collaboration and leverages XRPL's advanced features to enhance financial market efficiencies through asset tokenization.

Last week, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced $580.6 million in net outflows after a hawkish Federal Reserve meeting, ending four weeks of gains. The largest outflows came from Grayscale's GBTC, Ark Invest's ARKB, and Fidelity's FBTC, while BlackRock's IBIT attracted minor inflows. This trend followed an earlier 19-day streak of over $4 billion in inflows. Meanwhile, as Bitcoin faced declines, there's growing anticipation for the upcoming launch of spot Ethereum ETFs, expected soon following regulatory approvals.
