Bitrue Witnesses Soaring Notional Value Following Ripple vs. SEC Ruling

The chart shared by Bitrue clearly illustrates the significant increase in notional value, which was under $200 million from July 3 to July 13. However, following the recent ruling in the Ripple vs. SEC case, Bitrue witnessed a sharp uptick starting on July 14.

This surge propelled the notional value of open interest to an impressive $800 million by July 16. It is important to note that notional value represents the total value of a particular asset that market participants have committed to buying or selling in the future.

Furthermore, the XRP trading volume on Bitrue has experienced a significant increase in recent days. In the past 24 hours alone, the exchange facilitated $47.8 million in XRP volume through spot trades. Additionally, its perpetual market has seen even more impressive figures, with the XRP/USDT pair recording a 24-hour volume of $1.13 billion, according to data from CMC.

Bitrue’s disclosure provides valuable insights into the overall size of XRP positions held by its users. Moreover, it is noteworthy that 88% of these users have taken long positions on XRP, indicating a strong belief in the cryptocurrency’s future.

This surge in demand for XRP follows the recent ruling by Judge Analisa Torres in the Ripple case. On July 13, Judge Torres declared that XRP is not a security, sparking positive market sentiment towards the asset. Subsequently, XRP witnessed a remarkable rally, with its value increasing by 99% on the same day.

Numerous exchanges have since relisted XRP and trading volumes have soared as investors reignite their interest in the cryptocurrency. Yesterday, it was reported that XRP’s 24-hour trade volume hit a record high of $10.4 billion on July 13, marking the highest trade volume since August 2021. Additionally, XRP saw over 1 million trades per minute globally.
