In the past week, Grayscale announced the launch of the Grayscale XRP Trust, which helped propel the price of XRP up by about 10% to near-$0.588 on Sept. 12. The rise continued until Sept. 14, with XRP reaching highs of $0.599, where bulls encountered resistance, resulting in XRP range trading.

At the time of writing, XRP was down 1.19% in the last 24 hours to $0.58, as the crypto market faced slight profit-taking following a rally earlier in the week.

Trusts are closed-end investments, which means that there is a set amount of shares accessible. Exchange-traded funds might have a different number of shares, which makes them more tradable.

Last year in July, Ripple scored a win over the Securities and Exchange Commission when a judge ruled that sales of the token to retail users through exchanges do not constitute a securities offering. The ruling opened the door to broader availability of XRP for trading.
