XRP Surpasses $1.50 Level, Approaching New Record: Could Strengthen Leading Position in Crypto Market$XRP
Having recently surpassed the $1.50 level and reached its highest value since 2021, XRP is drawing attention as it approaches new records. The fact that the SEC Chairman will leave office and Bitcoin's historic rally contribute to the increase in institutional interest in XRP. Experts state that with this momentum, XRP can surpass higher levels and gain a stronger position among the leading assets in the crypto market.
Ben Armstrong (Bitboy), one of the well-known names in the crypto world, made important assessments about XRP’s recent strong rise. XRP reached $1.50, its highest level since 2021, and is only a short distance away from its previous peak of $1.96. According to Armstrong, this increase is just the beginning.
The rise of XRP is supported by general market optimism and positive developments. From regulatory changes to increasing institutional interest and Bitcoin’s historic rally, many factors are strengthening XRP’s market position. Experts predict that XRP could surpass its all-time high in 2021, establishing itself as a leading asset in the crypto market.
Factors Behind XRP’s Rise
One of the key factors that triggered the recent rise of XRP was the announcement that Gary Gensler, Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will be leaving his post in January 2025. The legal processes Gensler initiated against Ripple and other cryptocurrency companies during his tenure were a major obstacle for the crypto world. Gensler’s departure has created hope that a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment may emerge in the US.
Additionally, multiple exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications focused on XRP are on the agenda. The approval of these ETFs could lead to increased institutional demand for XRP and provide investors with new opportunities to access the digital asset.
Bitcoin Rally and Its Impact on XRP
Bitcoin’s recent all-time high of $99,655 has created a strong sense of optimism in the cryptocurrency market. The expectation of Bitcoin exceeding $100,000 also has a positive impact on the price movements of altcoins like XRP. The leading cryptocurrency’s historic rally is creating a positive atmosphere in the market, and XRP is seen to benefit from it.
Technical analysts state that if XRP breaks the $1.96 level, it could be the start of a new era for the digital asset. Famous trader Peter Brandt predicts that breaking this level could cause a permanent increase in the price of XRP. In this case, XRP could take a significant step towards becoming one of the strongest assets in the crypto world.
Ripple’s Corporate Partnerships and the Future of XRP
Ripple’s blockchain solutions are expanding its corporate partnerships, especially thanks to its efficiency in cross-border payments. This could positively contribute to market demand by increasing XRP adoption.
However, while the rise of XRP is promising, risks in the markets should not be ignored. Global economic uncertainties, regulatory interventions, and market sentiment can affect price movements. Nevertheless, XRP could experience a new wave of growth and gain a strong position in the crypto market with the decrease in regulatory uncertainty and increasing institutional investor interest.
