Altcoins recovered sharply on Tuesday after a sell-off, with traders taking advantage of lower prices.

XRP led the recovery, gaining 6% in 24 hours.
Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) rose approximately 4.5% each.
Ethereum (ETH) increased by 5%.
Open interest for these tokens also increased, indicating renewed trading activity.
XRP's open interest grew by 4.2% in one day.

CME Group reported that its crypto futures surpassed $30 billion in notional open interest, with SOL and XRP futures crossing the $1 billion mark. XRP became the fastest contract to reach this figure within three months.

Analysts view this as a sign of market maturity and growing institutional interest in crypto derivatives. ETF expert Nate Geraci noted potential demand for spot XRP ETFs.

The CoinDesk 20 Index rose by 3.6%, while Bitcoin (BTC) gained about 1%, surpassing $111,000 after briefly falling below $109,000.

Despite recent highs driven by expectations of monetary easing, blockchain analytics firm Santiment warned that optimism around a potential Federal Reserve rate cut could lead to corrections if expectations are unmet. Traders are awaiting the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index release for further direction.
