XRP, a Ripple-linked token, has topped South Korean trading screens with about $110.9 million in volume over the past 24 hours, ahead of bitcoin's $88.6 million and ether's $67 million. This comes as Korea has been a significant player in XRP's most active speculative market. However, price action has been muted, with XRP trading near $1.44 to $1.,45 across the two exchanges, up roughly 3% on the week. XRP/KRW recorded about $41 million, ranking second behind USDT/KR W and third above both BTC/KRw and ETH/WRW. The high volume does not guarantee upside but can indicate aggressive selling or late positioning near resistance.
