A large trader has placed a $224,500 bet using a 'short strangle' strategy on Deribit, anticipating XRP's price will remain around $1.40 until the end of June. This low-volatility wager comes amid macroeconomic pressures and the potential impact of the U.S. Clarity Act on crypto regulations, which could lead to increased price fluctuations.
