Here are three top cryptocurrency news stories from the past weekend, presented by U.Today.

XRP Gains Momentum with Institutional Adoption in Asia

HashKey Capital, the investment arm of HashKey Group, announced the launch of Asia's first XRP tracker fund. This initiative, supported by Ripple as an early investor, is designed for professional investors and is expected to significantly boost XRP's institutional adoption. This is HashKey's third tracker fund, following Bitcoin and Ethereum funds. Their choice of XRP is attributed to its widespread institutional use in global cross-border payments, offering faster, cheaper, and more efficient transactions compared to traditional systems like SWIFT. HashKey also indicated that, pending regulatory approval, the fund could potentially evolve into an ETF within one to two years.

On-chain data reveals a significant support level for Shiba Inu (SHIB) at $0.000012, with over 26,000 wallets holding 21 trillion SHIB at this price point.

However, prevailing bearish market sentiment, influenced by global economic factors, poses a challenge. Read the original article on U.Today.
