According to CoinDesk, XRP has surpassed Bitcoin and Ethereum in 24 hours on major South Korean exchanges.
In the past 24 hours, the XRP/KRW trading pair has seen approximately $110.9 million on Upbit, surpassing Bitcoin's $88.6 million and Ethereum's $67 million; It ranks second on Bithumb, behind USDT/KRW.
South Korea has been one of the most active speculative markets for XRP, but XRP price has only fluctuated slightly, with a weekly gain of about 3% in the $1.44 to $1.45 range, and has yet to break through the $1.49 to $1.5 resistance zone since February.
South Korea's Kospi index fell sharply on Tuesday due to tax policy remarks, indicating a sensitive market risk appetite, with investors focusing on XRP rather than chasing riskier assets across the board.

Legend announced the closure of its operations and will cease operations on July 12
According to ChainCatcher news, the on-chain financial application Legend announced that it will gradually close the company and its products and services. The team said that Legend initially hoped to make DeFi's cross-chain exchange, yield grabbing, and payment functions more accessible to mainstream users through a simpler product interface. Although the product gained a real number of users, the scale of growth did not reach the level required for long-term sustainable operation, so closing the business was the most appropriate decision for the team and investors.
Legend said its biggest lesson is that mainstream users don't care if the product is "on-chain" or not, they are more concerned about yields, faster payment experiences, and greater control over funds. The team believes that a truly successful product is not to explain cryptography to users, but to hide it completely behind the experience. According to the announcement, Legend has stopped new user registration, existing users need to complete fund withdrawals before the application closes on July 12, and the official will continue to remind users to withdraw funds through emails and notifications for the next 60 days, and will continue to retain relevant documentation pages for a period of time after the closure.
