The broader crypto market remains relatively stable, with the total market cap holding at $2.98 trillion. However, 
Bitcoin experienced a slight decline of 0.32% over the past 24 hours, dropping to $85,513. Despite this, Bitcoin has seen a 2.36% increase over the past week.
XRP, the native token of Ripple, also saw a minor dip of 0.62% in the last 24 hours, with its price currently at $1.5. Over the past week, XRP has managed a modest gain of 0.26%. The market cap of XRP stands at $94.44 billion.
The Fear & Greed Index remains in 'Greed' territory at 71, indicating a positive sentiment among investors despite the slight downturn in Bitcoin and XRP prices.
Pham's visit to Ripple and the XRPN Nasdaq listing could suggest increased institutional interest and potential regulatory clarity for Ripple, which may positively impact market sentiment in the coming days.
