📊 DEMYSTIFYING VOLUME AND THE HEADLINE EFFECT

🔍 Why didn’t the news cause a massive spike?

Although the news is historic, the increase in volume was more moderate compared with past events involving the same company.

💡 Analysis of data behavior:

🔹 Past records: The July 2023 ruling generated a 139x spike in volume.

🔹 Final approval: The recent announcement reached a multiplier of just 1.7x.

🔹 The reason: The prior conditional approval in December had already anticipated the news by 90%.

🔹 The right interpretation: Volume measures market surprise, not the long-term value of the banking license.

The metrics show that the market had already absorbed the event, making the announcement an expected formality. $XRP
