🚀 XRP Hits a Milestone: Breaking the $2 Barrier!
The cryptocurrency world is abuzz as XRP, the Ripple-affiliated digital asset, has soared past the $2 mark for the first time since January 2018, reaching a peak of $2.49. This marks an unprecedented 70.55% price surge over the past few days, stunning the market and XRP community alike.
Here’s what’s driving this massive growth:
1️⃣ Whale Activity:
Large wallets holding between 1M-10M XRP have scooped up 680M XRP tokens (valued at $1.66 billion) in just 3 weeks. Additionally, non-empty XRP wallets have reached new highs, highlighting growing adoption.
2️⃣ Market Dynamics:
XRP reclaimed the third spot in global market capitalization on CoinMarketCap, reaching a staggering $140 billion before slightly sliding back due to market adjustments.
3️⃣ Regulatory Optimism:
The upcoming resignation of SEC Chair Gary Gensler in January 2025 has sparked hopes for more favorable crypto regulations.
Analysts believe the U.S. government may introduce pro-crypto policies next year, creating a safer environment for crypto projects to thrive.
4️⃣ Ripple’s Escrow Release:
Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP from escrow on December 1, continuing its traditional practice of locking 800M XRP back.
The rally not only highlights XRP’s resilience but also sets the stage for a new chapter in the crypto world. With a growing community, massive institutional interest, and potential regulatory clarity on the horizon, XRP is proving to be a BEAST, as aptly put by TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington in his viral tweet.
⚡ Current Price: $2.30 (after a slight correction).
📈 High Achieved: $2.49 (highest in nearly 7 years).
