🟢 XRP ETF (XRP) is trading 7% up in pre-market after Treasury doubled planned bond buybacks

XRP is trading at $14.76 (+7.03%) as the August 20 rally extends after U.S. Treasury buybacks improved liquidity and risk appetite.

• Bitcoin and major digital assets continue climbing; crypto shares also benefited from President Trump urging Congress to advance the CLARITY Act.
• The move appears sector-wide rather than equity-market-driven; the legislation strengthened expectations for clearer digital-asset regulation, while major U.S. futures are only modestly higher.
• Short covering likely amplified XRP’s advance after the broader crypto breakout.
