XRP jumped roughly 7% on Wednesday after reports emerged that Iran had signaled openness to peace talks with the United States.
The token reached $1.46, with trading volume surging 39.71% to $4.1 billion in a single day.
The broader crypto market moved higher at the same time. Total market capitalization rose 6.28% to $2.49 trillion, with Bitcoin crossing $73,000 and Ethereum climbing above $2,100.
The rally was driven by a New York Times report stating that Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence sent a message to the CIA through intermediaries indicating willingness to discuss ending the conflict.
U.S. President Donald Trump had previously acknowledged attempts at contact but suggested negotiations could be delayed.
Investors responded by moving back into risk assets, pushing crypto prices sharply higher across the board.
