XRP交易价格为1.50美元，随着纳斯达克首秀和XRPL升级临近

Despite a series of major developments expected in October, XRP prices remain stable around $1.50. Three notable events, including Evernorth's planned listing on NASDAQ under the symbol XRPN and two potential software upgrades to XRP Ledger (XRPL), are attracting increasing attention from institutional and retail investors.

Armada Acquisition Corp. II shareholders have approved the proposed business merger with Evernorth, paving the way for the new entity to begin trading on Nasdaq under the symbol XRPN, which is expected to be officially listed on October 8. The deal is expected to close one day before listing, enabling Evernorth to bring its XRP holdings and additional capital into the open market.

Evernorth is said to hold approximately 473 million XRPs at launch, and the transaction is expected to generate total revenue of approximately US$300 million. CEO Asheesh Birla described the move as a milestone step for digital asset investors to gain institutional access, saying: "A listing will provide investors with a regulated, transparent way to hold XRP exposure."

However, XRPN shares provide indirect exposure to XRP; investors buy shares in Evernorth, not the digital assets themselves. This difference is one of the key reasons and why trading activity around the XRP spot price remains sluggish on the eve of the listing, as market participants are waiting for clear signals that access to the open market will drive demand for tokens.

XRPL upgrades are designed to enhance institutional appeal

In addition to the Nasdaq listing, if the required validator support continues, the XRP ledger could welcome two important protocol upgrades within a few days. PermissionDelegationV1_1 may be activated on October 8, allowing one account to delegate certain trading rights to another without giving up full control. Industry observers believe this is a valuable tool for organizations that need to separate operational and compliance responsibilities.

Subsequent upgrades BatchV1_1 may follow closely and are expected to be launched around October 9. This feature allows up to eight transactions to be packaged in one submission, paving the way for increased efficiency in the "pay-as-delivery" mechanism for tokenized assets. Ayo Akinyele, engineering director for RippleX, pointed out that several projects are already ready to take advantage of batch processing capabilities and expect further updates after the upgrade is complete.

These two agreement changes are intended to strengthen the applicability of XRP ledgers to institutional adoption. However, the upgrade date depends on validator approval, and any objection below the threshold will reset the activation process.

Market sentiment is cautious in the face of major catalysts

Despite these events, XRP's price movements showed little reaction. Whale investors stayed on the sidelines, and the derivatives market showed caution rather than fanaticism. Prominent cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez observes that XRP may be on the verge of a major breakthrough, suggesting that a four-hour close above $1.53 levels could pave the way for a rise to $1.62. Still, large XRP holders have shown little action over the past week, highlighting continued hesitation.

According to CryptoQuant analyst R3N, open interest in XRP derivatives on Binance is currently approximately US$516.6 million. This is above the low of earlier 2026, but well below the level of more than $1.3 billion seen a year ago. Analysts interpret this as a sign that traders are using less leverage and remain cautious until clear evidence emerges that these catalysts will translate into real demand shifts.

Trading activity in XRP derivatives is well below last year's highs, highlighting a "low-leverage, more cautious" environment, even as events that could reshape market structure approach. As traders monitor these technological developments and wait to confirm that new infrastructure will attract new investment, tracking liquidity along the chain and investor strategies is increasingly important.
