XRP Price Bounces on Hong Kong Retail Trading Approval

XRP's price has experienced a bounce after Hong Kong pushed for retail trading of Ripple. The asset is currently trading around $1.09, up approximately 3% over the past 24 hours.

This increase comes as a result of OSL HK, Hong Kong's first licensed retail crypto exchange, confirming that retail users can now trade XRP against the U.S. dollar on its Flash Trade platform. This move gives XRP greater visibility in one of Asia's leading financial centers and may strengthen demand over time.

However, traders are still waiting for stronger confirmation before pushing prices higher. XRP has held near $1.09 despite the positive catalyst, showing buyers are defending support while watching for the next catalyst.
