According to blockchain analytics firm Santiment, the XRP Ledger saw significant activity in July. XRPâs price rose by 35%, outpacing Bitcoinâs 15% gain. This growth was driven by network expansion and increased transactions by large holders, known as whales. Despite this, a slight price pullback has occurred.
The end of July brought a market downturn, causing panic selling among investors. The Federal Reserveâs decision to maintain interest rates unchanged led to a negative reaction in the crypto market, while the Bank of England cut rates by 25 basis points after a prolonged period of monetary tightening
XRPâs price dropped over 12% from its high of $0.65, currently trading at $0.5725. Speculation about a potential settlement between Ripple and the SEC led to the release of over 500 million XRP, valued at $294 million, which could increase selling pressure.
Despite these fluctuations, the XRP Ledger remains a popular platform for financial projects, known for its efficiency and security. Recently, it partnered with OpenEden to tokenize US Treasury bills, aiming to integrate real-world assets into the DeFi ecosystem.
XRP currently faces resistance at $0.60. Analyst Peter Brandt noted that the XRP/BTC chart shows a head-and-shoulders pattern, and if support at 0.0000082 fails, the price could drop significantly to 0.00000020.
