Renewed positive sentiment surrounds the crypto market, fueled by factors like institutional adoption and the recent Trump executive order regarding crypto in 401(k) plans.

“Inflows are back, regulators are moving, and altcoins are positioning for breakout. Keep faith in institutional flows and token-level triggers,” one user wrote on X.
Regulatory Progress, Institutional Adoption Led to Bullish Impact
Further, XRP climbed more than 13% on Friday, after the US SEC and Ripple agreed to dismiss appeals, ending their four-year legal battle. This means a reduced legal risk for XRP holders, boosting sentiments.
XRP is trading around $3.34 at press time, with bulls anticipating that a break above the resistance level $3.40, could lead $3.70 mark.
Additionally, Ethereum is up more than $3,900 on Friday, following a fresh institutional interest in ETH treasury. Analysts have predicted that a test of the $4,000 mark could be imminent.
The price increase comes as SharpLink Gaming announced Thursday that it has secured $200 million in a direct offering led by four global institutional investors, which will be used to expand its Ethereum treasury.

On the technical front, the total BTC futures open interest (OI) stands at 691,550 BTC, equivalent to $80 billion, according to Coinglass.
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr reported that the SMA-120 line has reversed upward, thus indicating a shift from a prolonged bearish trend since late July.
“A similar attempt a week ago failed,” he wrote on X. Currently, the market has transitioned from aggressive short pressure phase to neutral-bullish.”
