The native token of the Ethereum blockchain was also up around 2% in Friday trading.
Outside of the two largest crypto tokens by market cap, XRP has been performing relatively well lately, with the alternative crypto asset up nearly 10% over the week.
XRP has been performing particularly well in South Korea, where the digital asset accounted for 35% to 40% of all trading volume on three popular crypto exchanges there from Tuesday through Thursday, reported. Price speculation for XRP, used by blockchain technology firm Ripple to facilitate transactions, has increased ahead of a potential resolution to Ripple's legal battle with the SEC over whether XRP is an unregistered security. Earlier this week, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse told , "We expect resolution very soon."

Eli Lilly and Co. (LLY) announced on its WeChat account Friday that it has won approval from Chinese regulators to sell tirzepatide for weight loss in the country.
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Lilly’s injectable diabetes drug Mounjaro and weight-loss drug Zepbound. Mounjaro previously was approved in China for diabetes treatment.
The approval comes after Danish rival Novo Nordisk (NVO) announced in June that its weight-loss drug Wegovy received similar approval in China. Last week, a JAMA Internal Medicine study found that tirzepatide caused greater weight loss than semaglutide, the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy.
Competition between the drugmakers in the world’s second-largest economy will be crucial, with the global weight-loss market expected to reach $77 billion annually by 2030, according Morgan Stanley analysts.
Eli Lilly did not specify when sales of the drug would begin in China, or how many doses would be sold, according to . The drugmaker did not immediately respond to 's request for comment.
Eli Lilly shares rose 1.4% to $860.50 as of 1 p.m. ET Friday and are up almost 50% year-to-date. Novo Nordisk American depositary receipts (ADRs) were up 1.7% to $132.19 and have added about 28% in 2024.
