Ripple CEO says institutional adoption is coming, XRP extends gains by 5%

Ripple (XRP) traders’ sentiment turned positive on Friday, as CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted the addition of XRP-Dollar reference rate and indices to the CME Group and CF Benchmarks.

The CME Group is a leading derivatives marketplace, and CF Benchmarks is an FCA-regulated Benchmark administrator. The addition of XRP indices shows how the asset is heading towards finding utility in institutional crypto products.

VeChain break above descending trendline sparks rally speculation

VeChain (VET) price broke above a descending trendline earlier this week, suggesting a bullish trend ahead, and consolidates around 0.0263 on Friday. Potential buyers on the sidelines may consider accumulating VET from $0.0247 to $0.0239 before anticipating an upward rally in the coming days.

VeChain price broke above the descending trendline, drawn by joining multiple swing highs from June 7 to July 8, on Tuesday and rallied 4% in the next two days.
