📊📎 $XRP Surges with January Effect, Ripple ETF Prospects Grow 📎📊
Ripple's price increased for three days straight at the start of the year, alongside Bitcoin and other altcoins, suggesting the possibility of a "January Effect" where asset prices rise at the beginning of the year. Ripple hit $2.40 on Thursday, its highest since December 18, with a 26% rise from its recent low.
The surge in XRP's price might continue due to upcoming political changes, including Donald Trump's inauguration and the anticipated resignation of SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
Paul Atkins, Trump's nominee for SEC Chair, is known for supporting cryptocurrencies, which could lead to a more favorable regulatory environment for $XRP , potentially driving further price increases.
There's a growing likelihood of an XRP ETF being approved by the SEC, with odds now at 70% on Polymarket, which could boost XRP's demand similar to how Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have.
The $XRP ecosystem is expanding with Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD, being listed on several exchanges, indicating growth in Ripple's infrastructure. The XRP Ledger is poised for more adoption this year, potentially strengthening Ripple's position in DeFi and real-world asset tokenization.
The current price increase of Ripple is also attributed to the "January Effect," where post-holiday investment sees a boost in asset prices.
